The Story Of Africa's No 1 Rapper & His Insane Work Ethic Ft MI Abaga
If you're familiar with the Flavour-sung chorus that goes "Africa rapper number one oo, MI microphone audition oh", then you're familiar with the artistry of Jude Abaga, popularly known as MI Abaga and self-adulatingly as Mr Incredible. Arguably lauded as the best hip-hop export out of Africa, Taymesan takes a seat with the iconic rapper for a refreshing reverie on his childhood days in Jos, growing up as the first son to an evangelist and his very first time coming across what would become part and parcel of him; Hip-hop.
For MI, hard work and diligence are the surest paths to success no matter how humble the job is. He highlighted how this had been a narrative for him from his childhood to his days at an American college where he moonlighted as a music producer, dancer, coordinator of an acapella gospel group while doing odd maintenance jobs from grass cutting to mopping floors to get by. Ironically but also as expected, MI's grades did not see the better end of his diligence as he paid more attention to his passion; music. Eventually, due to the high cost of tuition, MI had to withdraw from the college-- his second botched attempt at getting a uni degree. This however did not deter him for too long as he recouped in Nigeria, working diligently at low-paying jobs before music came to his rescue.
On this episode, MI paints a picture of hard work meeting success as he recalls being the first musician from Jos to win a Headies award in a rap category, we're also told about his Chocolate City days, both as a rapper and an exec and how he was able to uplift rappers and musicians in his circle. Things take a softer rose-tinged turn at the marriage arc as MI narrates meeting Eniola Mafe, who's now been his wife for a year. A deeply passionate rapper, he not only shares the painstaking process behind his lyricism but also speaks on his legacy and creative agency, TASCK.
It is said that he who is faithful in little is faithful in much and through MI's story, this episode is proof of that. You should definitely listen. Enjoy!

When God's Plan Meets A Genius Designer Ft Veekee James EP11S3
On this episode of Tea With Tay, Temisan sits with fashion designer extraordinaire and founder of Veekee James, Victoria James for a mindblowing tell-all on her childhood, her fashion origin, her success so far as well as her Christian faith.
Born and bred in Ajegunle, Veekee James tells us about life as the first daughter to a widowed tailor mom. She gives us the tea on how she'd always been a hustler right from primary school, working as a hairdresser, makeup artiste and any other skills she could pick up. This became a blessing and a curse later on in university as her business flourished but detracted from her studies, eventually contributing to her decision to withdraw in her final year after facing sexual harassment from lecturers.
This episode of Tea With Tay shows the perfect plan that's God's plan and how in due time, the dots will align in favour for those who love Him as Veekee James shares how she eventually decided to start a career in fashion design after running it from it due to a perception of it being unlucrative. 5 years later, Veekee James is one of the biggest bridal-styled bespoke fashion brands in Africa, inspiring numerous other designers down the line. But there's even more to Victoria's success story as the designer talks about her fiance, their relationship and her engagement which she'd kept under wraps as well as a scandal that almost rocked their relationship.
This episode is an absolute rollercoaster that will enrich and inspire you. Enjoy!

From Dreaming Big To Breaking Guiness World Records, The Hilda Baci Story
What are your dreams and future aspirations; do they scare you or do they inspire you to keep pushing? On this episode of Tea With Tay Temisan takes a seat with renowned chef and Guinness World Records holder for the longest cooking marathon, Hilda Bassey, 4 years after she'd dreamed of notching that achievement.
Now a restaurant owner and a culinary teacher to a total of more than 6,000 students, Hilda had surprisingly not been passionate about her cooking talent and had gone down a different path, trying out her hand at the showbiz world by working as a TV presenter for two years before listening to God's will for her life and acting accordingly.
No episode of Tea With Tay is ever complete without surprises and revelations that track back to the guest's childhood. On this seat, Hilda talks about her upbringing as the second child of seven children raised primarily by her mother in Abuja and how unfortunately and for reasons unknown to her, the relationship with her father became rocky.
Just like Hilda's dreams inspired her to break and make new records, this episode will enrich and inspire you as it brings us to a full circle moment where we see 8-year-old Hilda whose needs were catered to by her restauranter mom, turn around to be a source of inspiration to her mother whose business encountered some challenges and later on, Nigerians all over the country.
This episode is for anyone doubting their dreams, scared of how they'll achieve them. Listen with an open heart and enjoy!
