Mr eazi does not hold back in his interviews these days. That’s how we like it in the town 😂😂😂

[@iamshade4877]

Joey is a refined host. I like that he perfectly times the question and lets him run off with expressing himself. Big ups to Mr.Eazi ❤

[@odunayoadeneye2101]

He is truly an Evil-Genius - Man is so blessed 💯 I love how he acknowledges the Grace of God upon his life.

[@oluwaferanmi5695]

I can see similarities between me and mreazi, I just have to push off the barriers stopping me. I'm going to be so big!

[@lecuklegendz]

As an Afro-Ugandan artist, I have learnt a lot from this interview. Mr Eazi is really a genius.

[@omoniyibukunmi7683]

Good questions asked. Big ups Joey. Eazi has always had it on lock. Like they say, the best ones are always the most misunderstood- The dilemma of Genius. Always a bop when Eazi drops!

[@zikiweofficial]

Love Mr. Eazi and this was very insightful. Will meet him soon

What an amazing interview ❣️🔥🔥I have learn Alot here thank you so much @mreazi 💯❣️

[@couragekumeko5102]

Beautiful conversation... ❤

[@Bukky86]

So many gems in this.✨I especially love his energy in this interview. It’s about time because people talk too much trash. Often, when people see you achieve big things or be in spaces/circles they’ll never have access to, it triggers their insecurities. You’re doing amazing, Mr Eazi. 🙌🏾👏🏽

[@badmanbanjo]

Nice piece of interview

[@yungrich5771]

Insightful 😊

[@Paulvisuals]

Eazi is an intelligent person,and a business Mugul…l love his personality,and how he doesn’t seem to famz anyone,but it sounds respectful regardless….

[@kwekswilliams6884]

Been following bro from pipi dance. Mahhn. Laurym hill concert everything. I still got d poster. 👍❤️

[@ayoolamayowa7026]

You're the best interviewer that I have ever come across till further notice. . zero agenda just heart-to-heart conversation. Mr Eazi talk your talk. you already walked your walk.

[@paopsomiyemi8904]

This is such an amazing interview, more like a masterclass with intelligent p.o.v from Eazi. Afro-beat artists need to step up as regards intelligent conversation during interviews, only M.I will give you something this close. Also, Joey is so gifted with asking the right questions. ❤

[@ahmardhii]

The mentality, the confidence, the questions, the transitions, the right words, the gift of being exposed to experience life. Too many things to learn about life

[@jeffreykyei9986]

Mr Eazi used to reply and retweet my tweets back then. He‘s a genuine top lad.

[@daodonkor]

Joey Akan asking the right questions. Intelligent guy!

[@ezehebuka3790]

Evil genius

[@kennethokini7921]

Awesome interview Joey. However, you were quite inaudible for the most part.

[@oscianoroyalty2470]

I think what affected me eszy career was the statement he made and funny enough when Nigerians got offended and tried correcting him he was feeling fly I guess I have arrived that kind of thing , Nigerians are powerful and patriotic they made every artist even the kens that will say they made themselves with the label but it was the people that push you guys , now burna boy also went and made his own statement and still feeling is above the nation insulting Nigerians na still go come out say people hates him , you can be bigger than your people if you look closely burna boy has lost support from Nigeria 🇳🇬 am sure from the Stats he is seeing from Nigeria is not encouraging anymore trust me even if you claim you are fine one knows deep down you are not fine becos Nigerians has this special kind of love for their artist but when you go south you go collect , enjoy my brother life is a lesson and understand that a movement is bigger than any artist

[@kwakugyanteh3337]

Which statement are you referring to?

[@ddouye3969]

@@kwakugyanteh3337 Mr. easi: "Ghana music influenced Nigerian music statement", Burna boy: "Afrobeat is just gibberish, no substance' statement

Which university is that? where mr. easy finish from

[@emmanuellaiyogun8668]

[@osiomogieasekome8799]

Wait did he say Patek didn't chat? Ah ah how? 😂

[@Paulvisuals]

I feel like the interviewer doesn’t really like me Eazi, my thoughts yeah,I might be wrong,but it does feel like that….

[@bafemiplus1999]

From his experience , one mistake Mr Eazi has suffered from is not attending to Media questions with media answers. He paying for publicly showing preference for Ghana over his native Nigeria on sensitive issues when he could have been diplomatic. It's not every thing you think, you have to utter publicly. That's why Kanye West , for instance, is paying dearly for publicly opposing the influential American Jewish community.

[@ennovatedancehouse5644]

Apt.

[@akikiaovie]

Igodie nah thief normally🤣

[@unityebi131]

Mr Eazi na mumu guy

[@user-cz3uk8lu8c]

Nigga just bagged the interview , you didn't listen to the album for sure lol

[@emmanuellaiyogun8668]

Joey I honestly do not understand why you have asked three questions about his relationship. Your focus should be on the album and not the relationship. Pls try to be more professional and do better next time pls

[@Matheolh123]

He aint no from da street he just sunday schooling yo

[@classicman1981]

Mr Eazi is sell out, i never like that guy

[@unityebi131]

I swear

[@bennyfrimpong1819]

lol imagine being called sell out for speaking facts

[@2LETLIVE]

May be Mr. Eazi should stop being a sellout. I'm sure he knows about all the constant insults from Ghanaians. The other day, he was hyping Shatta Wale, the same guy that insulted the entire Nigeria a year before. When is he going to defend his country, for once?

[@lykay7729]

Stfu. You people take entertainment too seriously. Your country man is winning. Be proud

[@KwamenaMJ]

He is just appreciating where he started from and acknowledging those that helped him. That’s not selling out

[@qwasioffoeli-230]

P. Square where the first people to throw shatta out of the apartment bcoz after he disrespected 🇳🇬 he was chilling with them in 🇺🇸

[@frankuneke7475]

You're intelligent and hard working, we want to work with you. We @globalartistsmanagement seek to have a music collaboration with you, sir.
