[@aliasaiia]

The way Joyce kept saying discovery instead of discography😂 never a dull moment! Love her!!! Happy birthday mama💖

[@lifewithhdeee]

[@awhitfield6827]

First time here because you had me at Maleek Berry! 🥰 I miss his musical presence. And one more thing, I hope Kanye was honored to work with Mr. Maleek Berry. Officially subscribed.

[@anuhassan5596]

U see why branding/marketing is so important… I’ve just deeped that you’ve made yourself a stop for any African and even Carribean person that wants to do promo in the UK, I saw this and was like “Maleek Berry what has he been up to let’s see” because I know that people on tour podcasts come to catch us up. So interesting

[@Drawingboredi]

Maleek! 2017, 2018,2019 he had me losing my mind. Even now when I turn on a Maleek track, we are going down the list coz he has hits!!!!!!!!!!!Literally the worst times Miami and Kontrol made me happy to be alive!Let me Know,Been calling, Nuh let go,pon my mind, own it and bend it. You just get lost in his sound.

[@oluwasunnytv_]

Madame Joyce! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE WATCHED FOR YEARSSSSS AND THIS IS MY FIRST COMMENT. THISSSSSSSSSSSS GUESSTTTT IS THE GUEST THAT WILL LAUNCH YOUR CAREER IJN. MALEEK BERRY IS THE GUEST YOU DIDNT KNOW YOU NEED . I LOVE YOU . 🎉❤ CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY 🎂

[@chenni4127]

I love Maleek !!!! I was first introduced to Afrobeats through him

[@yetundeadenekan3228]

Not me dancing to “don’t forget to subscribe subscribe” 😂😂😂

[@constancesdiary]

This was tooo real 👏🏾🙌🏾 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1740">29:00</a> simply put we should put respect on Afrobeats/African music on a whole!

[@brownboikyle]

Happy birthday sis!!🎉 🎊 LIBRAS STAND UP!! 27 on October 19th 😛

[@amberpalmer3708]

I’m excited for this, I’ve missed Maleek Berry! Gonna watch while cleaning Happy Birthday and congrats on the Patreon launch Joyce 🎉❤

[@ANa-qt7tt]

Happy birthday Joyce❤️❤️❤️

[@AlwaysLoLove]

Dont play with Madam Joyce <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1802">30:02</a>-<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1974">32:54</a> shes spitting nothing but facts and timelines!!! Well researched and knows her stuff! Maleek is right, the Afrobeats sound couldve been protected more and like Joyce said the artists shouldve been building more in nigeria not just japa to america after the success. Mscheww. Maleek has been dropping the hits since Carolina, The Matter, Been Calling, Saucin freestyle, etc. plus collabs with Juls, Early in the morning. We rockin with you Maleek, wayyyy before Afrobeats went viral, Maleek has been bridging that gap and laying the foundation within the millennial generation to take the sound to america, london, etc. walked so they could run along with other greats like Wande Coal, etc. SALUTE! 🎉

[@maymintah]

Happy birthday to theee hoochie mama 🎂💕 pls Maleek Berry na legend and he’s giving millennial uncle when he’s trying to explain something and I love it 😂

[@marymensah6583]

[@quessiabuhinja]

Happy birthday Joyce🥳🥳🥳

[@SarahAlexisDyer]

I think we need a takeawaysss comment section My takeaways from this episode: •MUSIC IS SPIRITUAL. Believe people when they be saying that stuff. Be prepared spiritually. •Create from the heart alwaysss. •Create for the love of the process. •Aim high, be different, be the future not the same as the present. •Life exists in cycles. •What is HIS, he gon protect. •Men are just as sensitive as us if not more. 💎💜 Btw… these long episodes are always worth it when the convo is such gold! Happy bday misss Joyce ✨🥂
