Who are the people you look up to and where do you draw your inspiration?
Woli is the person I look up to, anything he does I want to do it. I like the way he talks and everything. You should understand that when we started, there was nobody, all the social media people you are seeing now were not there. This is something we started a long way back, so he is my mentor and role model. We’ve been in this for about 16 years, we didn’t just arrive three years ago. I posted one of our old videos then and people were commenting, we were so young. About inspiration, our inspiration comes from our mood and things around us. Woli has a way of making us laugh and that helps a lot.
What are the things fame has deprived you of?
I told you I was a rascal, now there are things I can’t do again. I used to roam around the streets, now I can’t do that again. I used to be very rough and untidy, but now I can’t be like that again because we are now role models to a lot of younger people.
