Media personality Lish Blake caught up with the Nigerian star during his stop in Atlanta, GA where label executives welcomed the young talent with an intimate album listening session and traditional food from his homeland, including the ever controversial Jollof rice.

The artist shared that he left Nigeria at the age of 15 where his family then relocated to Canada, so he also reps the ‘Six’ as Canadian pop stars such as Drake calls it. Finishing high school North of the border and then studying at a university in the United Kingdom, has all contributed to the Afrobeats sensations wide array of experiences which he hopes to express through his music and deliver a universal message through sounds from his native land.

When asked about keeping the authenticity of Afrobeats alive although he left the motherland as a child, he assured that his indigenous roots are still well planted and deep. One of the primary ways Nonso Amadi brings a piece of Nigeria with him everywhere is assuring he finds good Nigerian food. “If you look in my google search right now it will read “Nigerian food near me”. Nigerian food is the best.” Lish and Nonso even had the Great African Debate. Who in West Africa has the best Jollof rice? Nigeria? Senegal? Ghana? Let us know in the comments.
