    Na Man You Be

    Hot Vibe: A man is not scum if he tells you he's scum. He's just a product of the filthy environment.

    The 5 (minus Phage) plus Wale, self-acclaimed BBTTLL*, discuss maleness, what it means to be a man in Lagos and if masculinity can exist in a vacuum. 

    BUT before we got into that we had some controversial takes on all things BBN, Demons (of the Yoruba variety), Female Accountability, Gender Relations and Slut Shaming.
