What is the message behind Greatness?
The only thing I stand for is greatness only, I don’t wanna know nothing else. Uplifting and empowering others, you know what I’m saying? So we can understand we’re all great in our own little ways. Whatever it is you just focus on it and be the best here.

What can young Nigerians take into the future?
We got to stick to our own settings, stick to our traditions. Understand our culture goes a long way, you know what I’m saying? You gotta wear clothes that represent you, that make you feel comfortable, confident, within yourself. Like our forefathers say, ‘hang your coat where your hand can reach’.
Founded in 2017, Homecoming is an annual festival of cultural exchange between Africa and the world. Held in Lagos, Nigeria, Homecoming puts a spotlight on African talent – from its up and comers to its biggest stars in Music, Fashion, Art, and Culture. Beyond the annual festival moment, Homecoming focuses its efforts on uniting a global community of musicians, artists, designers and creatives, through collaborations and partnerships between these trailblazers and international brands, institutions and thought leaders.
