Mr Eazi On Cool 9ja Vibes With DJ Rabbit

Mr Eazi clarifies that despite diving heavily into business ventures since 2020, music remains his core foundation and legacy

In this engaging interview on Cool Nigerian Vibes, host DJ Rabbit sits down with Nigerian afrobeats artist and entrepreneur Mr Eazi to discuss his creative process, recent musical releases, social media presence, and views on music versus business.

The conversation opens with a discussion surrounding Mr Eazi's hit single, "Comfort". Mr Eazi reveals that the initial teaser featured a splice sample rather than vocals. After struggling to find other artists to jump on the track, he decided to take it on himself, eventually flying artist Molly down to London to deliver the standout vocals that completed the global record.

The chat transitions into Mr Eazi’s viral, playful rebrand on TikTok, where he showcases energetic dances and video edits. Crediting artist Number 11 for teaching him editing techniques, Mr Eazi explains that this lighter side is simply him feeling young again and finding a platform to express different facets of his personality—comparing his distinct online personas across TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Addressing his dual identity as both a musician and a corporate enterprise builder, Mr Eazi clarifies that despite diving heavily into business ventures since 2020, music remains his core foundation and legacy. When playfully pressed to choose between dropping a global afrobeats hit or building a multi-million dollar company, he leans firmly into his musical roots.

Toward the end of the interview, Mr Eazi expresses openness to collaborating with up-and-coming "Gen Z" artists, even impromptu-managing a moment with a present creator to explore a studio session. He concludes by teasing new music on the horizon, announcing that a brand-new release will follow four weeks after the ongoing dominance of "Comfort".
