Happy International Day of the girl child my loves. Was an absolute pleasure to chop it up with this icon! Did we have enough time? Absolutely not.

ITST S4E02: TEMS
Tems is one of my favourite artists in the world, so to say it was SO special to do this would be the understatement of a lifetime. It has been such a joy to witness her journey, and it was an even greater joy to sit down and unpack some of it with her. @temsbaby you are so special! Your journey is so special. It is my prayer that you continue to break barriers & surpass your wildest expectati

WALO THE UNDERSCORE (S03E07)
TMT set the bar really high with our first fan episode so I wasn’t sure our next one was going to be able to live up to that but clearly all of you are just unhinged and I need to accept that 😭. This is an absolute mess of an episode in the best of ways so enjoy my loves! And @walounderscore get help please 😭.

JOEBOY (S03E04)
I don’t usually have nice things to say about people who like looking for my trouble 😒 but it was Joseph’s birthday yesterday so I’ll try to say some nice things 😔😩. Joseph has a nice voice, baby was an absolutely monster debut track and our episode (mainly because of me) is a LOT of fun☺️. You people should go and watch and peep all the troublemaking I’m talking about. On a more serious note, tha

Thanks for lending your time and your talent @mosesldn1.
Hope you people are do
LOJAY (S03E02)
It’s very rare for me to sit down with someone and become an even bigger fan of them after the fact but this is what happened with Lekan. I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this episode because it’s tricky when you’ve never interacted with someone prior to filming. On top of that, in all the interviews I had watched, he was very much introverted and reserved so I really wasn’t sure what the
ODUMODUBLVCK (S03E01)

Korty (S02E05)
Episode 5 is with the first female guest to grace the ITST franchise so it's only right it's with a legend, the King of Boys 😂,, Eniola herself @kortyeo . I'm a huge fan of Korty's work so it was an absolute pleasure filming this. Thanks for lending your talents & your time mama 💕. Enjoy my loves 💋 P:S- For those who haven't, check out Korty's stuff, she's doing the
L.A.X (S02E04)
More than any other episode this season, this felt like an actual date because this man came on a mission to tension me & throw me off 😭. First of all he showed up mad early then he came in matching black and silver because clearly his village people had told him all our secrets 😭. Anyways, he was a great guest & it’s another great episode! Good bad boy, thanks for lending your talents and
Timini (S02E03)
Very excited for you guys to watch this episode because it’s so SO good! Those of you that have been looking for gbas gbos will feast because this Timini troublemaker really tried it 😂. I’ll sha let you guys decide who the real winner is 😂(We know it’s me, always😉😂). Thanks for lending your time and your talent @watchtimini2110 🙏🏿. Enjoy my loves!

Episode 2 with this troublemaker @pereegbiofficial is out and it’s a wild ride to say the least. Thanks for lending your time & your talent Pere. Enjoy my loves 😘. Today we feast ☺️
Ycee (S02E01)
I didn’t know what to expect with @iam_ycee if I’m being honest, then this man came on set and walked straight to the kitchen to do shots so I calmed down 😭😂. Overall he was very gracious with his time, warm, charismatic, & genuinely funny as hell. It was an absolute pleasure shooting this and I have no doubt it will be a pleasure watching as well! Zaheer thank you for lending your talents and
PrettyBoyD-O (S01E04)
D-O was the intimidating senior on my table for two years in high school so to say this is the LAST place I expected to find us is the understatement of the century😂 😂😂.. Nonetheless, I’m so proud of his journey and all he has been able to accomplish. Very few artists have an understanding of the importance of brand identity and of cultivating a relationship with your fan base like he does and it’
Mayowa (S01E03)
You people thought there was Gbas gbos in the Falz episode, you’re not ready yet 😂😂. Mayowa is my number one OPP. This episode is absolutely pure cruise and I have to give Mayowa his props for the crackhead energy he contributed to that😂. How dare he think he can defeat an Igbo queen sha? Some of you even fell for it based on trailer. SMH 😂😂 This one comes with a fun drinking gam
Ajebutter (S01E02)
Ajebutter has this thing where he says “No need to fear, Butter is here” and that statement couldn’t be more true. Since the day I met this man he has not given me one single stress. Not one. On top of that, this sweet man believed in this project from day one and was instrumental in getting it off the ground. I will also give him extra marks for being one of two guests that actually understood th
Falz (S01E01)
Our first episode is with my fellow lawyer turned creative @falzthebahdguy. Folarin is a dream scene partner, willing to throw himself right into the deep end with you (He came on set and was immediately trying to direct lol). Witty, great comedic timing, huge presence and just the right amount of craze. Was great to have him as our first episode because he set the bar. After his shoot
