@_Orekoya@sugabelly@The_Ngozi Lagos has been the hub of entertainment for a long time. Lagos is a Yoruba state. Many trends start in Lagos first. Everybody has a cultural name for so many different things, but many people have adapted the Yoruba pronunciations because of the Lagos factor.

Some Americans are so performative. Especially the artists!!! None of them truly care about Palestine, they just don’t want to be associated with anything controversial and get cancelled. They’re SOOOO afraid of getting canceled it’s pathetic.
It's VERY EASY to be super political behind a phone screen and when it's not your money, name or career on the line. Some of you have really naive ideas of how the world ACTUALLY works, not how you'd like it to work.
