Nigerian artist and entrepreneur, Mr Eazi, shared his preference for performing for 8,000 fans over meeting his idol, Jay-Z, during an interview with Focus on Africa. Despite collaborating with Jay-Z's wife, Beyoncé, Mr Eazi had never met the rapper, who he respects as a significant influence in music and business. When given the chance to attend the premiere of Beyoncé's 'The Lion King: The Gift' project, he declined the opportunity to meet Jay-Z because he had already committed to a concert that would be attended by a large crowd.
He emphasized the importance of honoring his commitment to his audience, stating, "In music and entrepreneurship, that will be Jay-Z, my North Star. I haven’t met Jay-Z." Mr Eazi's ventures extend beyond the entertainment industry, with investments in over 24 African countries. He also developed a program called Locker Room Bonus, which rewards athletes with direct financial incentives after their team wins matches, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit that transcends music.
