ANNOUNCER: Coming to you from New York City,
the only city in America,
it's The Daily Show.
Tonight,
undressing Kim Kardashian.
K-pop shake-up.
And Davido.
This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering and applause)
What's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out in person!
Thank you for being here!
Look at you, look at you.
Look at you! This is it!
All right, we got a great show for you tonight!
Take a seat. Let's do it.
We got a really, really good show.
Take a seat, take a seat. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. We got a great show. Let's get into it.
Someone ruined Donald Trump's birthday.
We're gonna get into that.
Our very own Michael Kosta
is creating a new K-pop supergroup.
And Kim Kardashian has broken the Internet
and history this time.
Plus, Nigerian megastar Davido
is joining us on the show tonight.
Maybe he'll finally let me be a backup dancer
in one of his music videos.
So let's do this, people.
Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering and applause)
Okay.
Let's kick things off with the midterms.
As you probably know, right now in America,
primary season is in full swing.
And the primaries are the elections before the elections
that determine what's gonna happen in the elections
before the main election.
Anyway, last night, four states held their primary elections.
And it was actually a good night for Donald Jabberwocky Trump.
You see, in South Carolina,
one of the few Republican congressmen
who voted to impeach Trump
lost badly after Trump campaigned hard against him.
Yeah. And that's the weird thing about Trump.
He might not remember how to speak English,
but he'll never forget anyone who's done him wrong.
Yeah. He's probably got, like, a-a revenge spreadsheet
400 rows deep
just sitting there on the computer,
like, "Insert row.
"Format. Enemy.
"Formula. Mike Pence equals not good.
Print."
Meanwhile, in Nevada,
an election denier
won the Republican nomination for secretary of state,
which, by the way, is the office that certifies the election.
Yeah. And while that's not great for democracy,
it is fantastic news for Donald Trump.
Because, you see, if this guy gets the job,
that's like having your boy as your parole officer.
You know? It's just like, "Nah, nah, don't worry, man.
"I'll pee in the cup. We can't have you going away, man.
We got a party on Friday!"
The only blemish on the night for Donald
was that one of the candidates he endorsed
in South Carolina lost,
and, boy, was she sorry.
Another South Carolina race gaining national attention
is now decided.
Representative Nancy Mace
won the District 1 Republican primary
against Trump-endorsed candidate Katie Arrington.
Arrington conceded, endorsing Mace
and apologizing to former President Donald Trump.
And to Donald J. Trump,
sir, I'm sorry I couldn't give you the birthday present
that I wanted to give to you.
But you will always be my number 45,
my number 46.
You know what?
I, uh...
I don't know why anyone would think Trump supporters
are a cult. (chuckles)
It's just a normal woman apologizing to Trump
for losing her election on his birthday.
It's not a cult.
This is a very normal thing.
"Please forgive me, dear leader."
So normal, so normal.
By the way, what was all that
about "you'll always be my number 45
and my number 46"?
(light groaning)
'Cause, 'cause I... I get what she said,
but, like, I know Trump was the 45th president
but is she saying that he's still the president?
Because then he wouldn't be the 46th president.
(laughter)
He'd still be the 45th president.
That's confusing.
And if I am confused,
you best believe Donald Trump is really confused.
Best believe.
(applause)
Yeah, he's probably, probably watching that speech like,
"Wait, so I'm Joe Biden?
"What a twist.
I should call M. Night Shyamalan."
But let's move on to some international news
coming out of the United Kingdom,
America's estranged father.
Like many countries around the world,
the U.K. has been dealing with an influx of refugees
over the past few years.
And usually, usually when a refugee flees their country,
they have the right to apply to any nation in the world
to take them in.
But recently, in response to the large number of requests,
the U.K. announced that they've struck a deal
with the East African nation of Rwanda
to take the refugees
that were trying to stay in the U.K. Yeah.
So in a way, they did the geopolitical version
of when your crush says "No, I'm sorry.
But you should totally date my friend."
Now obviously this arrangement has ruffled a few feathers
and before the U.K. could deport
its first plane full of refugees,
the European Court canceled the flight.
The first flight of a controversial deportation plan
by the U.K. was grounded at the eleventh hour.
The plane was on the tarmac, its engines had started
and the cabin crew was seen boarding
when the European Court of Human Rights intervened.
Under the controversial government plan,
anyone who arrived in Britain illegally this year
could be relocated to Rwanda.
Once in Rwanda, they will be allowed
to apply for asylum there but not in Britain.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said
it is about halting human trafficking.
We have to interrupt the business model of the gangs.
MAN: Human rights groups and church leaders
have criticized the plan as immoral.
Hmm. (clicks tongue)
This is a tough story.
Yeah, because usually when Boris Johnson takes a position,
the opposite position is the right one.
Yeah, that's why his hair is always like,
"Wherever he goes, I'm going the other way."
But if I'm being honest,
if you ignore Boris, the argument does make sense.
Many gangs, smugglers and human traffickers
have started abusing the refugee crisis
to make money off of desperate migrants, right?
And so by doing this,
people who are genuinely trying to escape a war zone,
they have a safe country to go to.
But now the smugglers don't have a business any more.
Yeah, 'cause no one is going to pay you
to smuggle them into Rwanda.
Yeah, it's true.
If the U.K. Wants its immigrants to leave, don't deport them.
Just let them marry into the royal family
and eventually, they'll leave on their own.
So long, they get something, they get out.
(applause)
And can I just say as an African,
I take a little bit of offense
when human rights groups in the Europe say,
"You cannot send the refugees to Africa.
Those are human beings."
And who lives in Africa?
Get the (bleep) out of here, man.
-What does that mean? -(cheering, applause)
Yo, let me tell you something.
I know, I know some parts of Africa have it tough,
but we've also got cities, we've got Wi-Fi, you know.
We've also got racist white people.
You guys left them behind.
Acting like we don't got shit.
Some of these Europeans think the only hotel in Rwanda
is the Hotel Rwanda.
Actually, they've got a Radisson.
Yeah, a Radisson Blu, by the way.
There's a waffle bar and everything.
This is the problem. This is the problem
when there's only one well-known movie
that takes place in your country, you know?
It's all that people go on.
It's like judging France based on Ratatouille.
Not all the restaurants are run by rats.
Because here Rwanda was trying to do something nice.
And then, now they have to hear everyone talk shit about them?
Imagine if you offered to donate a kidney to someone,
and then that person was like, "Uh, no, thank you,
I'm gonna see if there's a more developed kidney."
I'd be like, "Man, go pee blood then, bitch."
Let's move on to some other news.
What do you get when the worlds
of fashion, history and celebrity collide?
Well, if you guessed Winston Churchill
wearing couture at the Top Gun premiere,
you're wrong, but that was a good guess.
No, the big controversy
that's blowing up the Internet right now is
what Kim Kardashian did with Marilyn Monroe's dress.
NEWSWOMAN: Well, one of the most iconic gowns in American fashion
may now be damaged.
A Marilyn Monroe collector is making the claim
after Kim Kardashian wore a dress
belonging to Monroe to the Met Gala last month.
The collector says that there are missing crystals
and several rips along the zipper.
Monroe wore the dress while singing "Happy Birthday"
to President Kennedy in 1962.
There is no comment yet from Kardashian
or Ripley's Believe It or Not!,
who lent the dress to Kardashian.
You know, sometimes I feel bad for Kim Kardashian.
When she doesn't wear clothes, people are angry.
When she does wear clothes, people are angry.
What's a lady to do?
But at the same time, Kim, what were you doing?
The Marilyn Monroe dress is
a one-of-a-kind piece of American history, right?
It's one of a kind, that's it.
The Met Gala happens every year.
People dress like hamburgers there.
You could have worn anything else.
Because if you are entrusted
with a piece of American history,
you better do everything you can to take care of it, everything.
I mean, just as an example,
I recently bought the stovepipe hat
that was worn by Abraham Lincoln, yeah,
and the reason I bought it is
because it's the perfect nacho bowl.
Like, holds it really well,
keeps it at a nice height, you know.
But you see,
but you see, when I'm done eating nachos out of it,
I always make sure to rinse it out afterwards
because that's being respectful.
Yeah.
The man freed the slaves, come on, y'all.
So, look, Kim obviously took a big risk
with a delicate artifact, and it backfired.
But you know who deserves most of the blame here? Ripley's.
Yeah, they're the ones who loaned the dress to Kim.
And first of all, why does Ripley's Believe It or Not!
even own this dress in the first place?
A woman wore a dress, yeah, I believe that.
I think I can wrap my head around that concept.
But because Ripley's owns the dress,
they're in charge of preserving it,
so if they told her it was okay to wear it,
that's on them, you know what I'm saying,
it's on them, yeah.
Like, I don't know, I don't know about all the museum rules--
what you can use, what you can't do with historical artifacts.
I don't know any of that stuff.
I only learned it from this story.
Like, if the Louvre called me
and they said I could kiss the Mona Lisa for a selfie,
I would do it... and I would use tongue.
So, look, a lot of people are at fault here,
a lot of people have made mistakes.
To make up for it,
I think Ripley's should have to sell the dress
to a real museum that'll actually look after it properly,
and Kim Kardashian, well, she has to show up
to next year's Met Gala
wearing some of the other historic items
from the Ripley's collection.
Yeah.
She still pulls it off. I don't know how she does it.
All right, and finally, like many tech companies
who were riding high during the pandemic,
Netflix is now no longer having a good time.
Their share price has dropped 75%.
They lost 200,000 subscribers.
And it turns out the new comedy special
they bought from Dave Chappelle was actually cake.
So...
other than laying off employees and raising prices,
Netflix has to figure out another way
to convince us to come back and chill.
And so that's why they've decided to pin their hopes
on a tried and true franchise.
This morning, Netflix says it is turning its smash-hit Squid Game
into a reality show competition series.
Netflix released a promo announcing casting
for Squid Game: The Challenge.
The new show is set to offer the largest cash prize
in reality TV history:
a whopping $4.56 million dollars.
Squid Game is, of course,
a South Korean series on Netflix.
The reality show is looking for English language speakers
from any part of the world.
Netflix has not announced how they plan to adapt the game
where contestants compete in a series of schoolyard games.
Wait, wait, wait, what?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no.
If you're gonna make Squid Game and nobody dies,
then what's the point?
So now I'm just watching people play red light, green light
and tug-of-war?
What am I, a camp counselor?
Shit, I didn't even watch the kids when I was camp counselor.
And don't worry, most of them didn't drown.
I'm just saying this show was already about a game show,
so you don't need to make a game show about it. You know?
If you want to do this, you should take, like,
a normal Netflix show and turn that into a game show.
That makes more sense. Like Stranger Things.
Yeah. Yeah, could you put a bunch of contestants
in a high school and see how long it takes
until someone notices they're actually 25 years old. What?!
Either way, I'm just saying they better find something
more interesting than cutting out cookies.
Yeah, you know what they should do-- one of the challenges
should be you have to try to find the good shows on Netflix.
Yeah. Yeah, let me tell you now,
half the people are dying in that game.
They're just like, "Aah! Which menu? Which menu?"
All right, that's it for the headlines.
Let's move on to something that everyone loves.
It's time to check in on today's lotto numbers
with Dulcé Sloan, everybody!
-(cheering, applause) -Hi.
Mwah! Mwah!
-Ha, ha! -Oh. So exciting.
What's going on, Dulcé? How you doing?
Hello. Hello, friend.
Now, listen, I'm just here to do this here lotto, okay?
Now, I know you've had other correspondents out here--
I will not name names--
but they don't want to give you the weather, they don't want
-to give you the traffic. -You've noticed.
I've noticed. And I have bills to pay,
so I have no problem doing my job.
-So... -All right, let's do it.
-Let's get into the lotto. -Let's get into the lotto.
Now, I know that there's no cash prize.
Let's not talk about that, let's just do the lotto.
-We can-we can just jump into it. -Okay, okay.
You right, you right. Uh...
seven!
O-Okay.
Four!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
-Wait. -What?
Are you just making up numbers
and then they're popping up on the screen?
No, numbers have existed for thousands of years.
I didn't make these up.
That's-- that's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying are-are you just saying a number
and then it pop-- Like, where's the machine?
You don't need a machine. Why, are you just trying
to replace me? Is this a self-checkout situation?
No, I'm not trying to replace you. I'm just saying-- I'm--
Where's the machine that chooses the numbers?
Oh, I can choose numbers, I'm a college graduate.
You just want random numbers?
Yeah, like, it has to be random, like--
Yeah, I can give you a random number.
Here, say a number.
-Okay. Uh... 36. -Wrong. 19.
(laughter, applause)
No.
By the way, listen, I was hearing
what you were saying before. Hmm.
My girl, Kimberly Noel Kardashian.
Why they keep coming for my girlfriend?
Why they keep coming for my girl?
Are we supposed to be mad
that she wore this dress,
and it might have ripped a little bit,
and some sequins came off?
Have y'all worn a dress with sequins?
If you start with a dress and sequins, you don't end
-with a dress and sequins. -(laughter)
That lets me know
that y'all ain't never been nowhere nice before.
Oh, you've never been to a soiree? Obviously!
That's how these dresses work, okay? That's not her fault.
Plus, why would you give her this dress?
You know that dress didn't fit.
(laughter)
We all know that dress didn't fit.
And why do we know that dress didn't fit?
'Cause usually, when you see Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala,
she's giving you body, all of it.
She had on a jacket around her waist the whole time.
That dress didn't zip shut.
-WOMAN: Nope. -Exactly.
(laughter)
You've never been in a dress that couldn't zip shut?
Well, you have a shawl on all night.
Oh, it's never been 11 p.m. the night before prom,
and you're like, "Well, this dress don't fit. Shawl."?
(laughter)
It took a 2022 ass and put it in a 1960s dress!
(applause and cheering)
You took a white-lady dress, and put a Black-lady ass in it.
Of course it was not going to work.
Yeah, but Dulcé I think the bigger argument
people were having is they're saying
that that dress is an historical artifact.
That's why Kim shouldn't have worn it.
I think that's what they're saying.
Oh, okay. Well, listen, if you let me get ahold
of, like, an historical artifact,
say, like, George Washington's wig, oh,
I am straightening that bitch, and I'm in every pub in Atlanta.
-(laughter) -You're wearing it?
Listen, they've been accusing us for years of having horse hair,
and now I bought some real horse hair,
and I'm out here, swag surfing and everything,
and I got Thomas Jefferson's wig out here, too.
-(laughter) -All right, Dulcé,
let's get the rest of the Lotto numbers, please.
Oh, yeah.
38.
(laughter, applause, whooping)
-27. -(laughter)
Ah! Congratulations, Mommy! You just won Lotto!
-No! No, no, no! No! -(applause and cheering)
Family cannot win. Family cannot win.
Dulcé Sloan, everybody, but family cannot win.
Don't go away, 'cause after the break,
Michael Kosta is gonna become a K-pop superstar.
You don't want to miss it. No. No family.
No family can win. No... no family. No.
(cheering and applause)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
You know, even if you've been living under a rock
for the past ten years,
you still know who BTS is,
the superstar K-pop group that has taken the world by storm.
But after selling tours, Grammy nominations
and being valued at $100 million,
the band has decided it's time to take a break.
The wildly popular K-pop group BTS announcing
they are taking some time apart,
saying they've hit a rough patch
and want to work on solo projects.
NEWSMAN: ARMYs on Twitter overwhelmingly supportive
of the boys' decision to rest and recalibrate.
Jungkook saying to fans,
"We're each going to take some time to have fun
"and experience a lot of things.
"We promise we will return someday
even more mature than we are now."
I'm not crying. You guys are crying.
(sniffles)
This is terrible.
You know? I-I feel like people would rather deal with
their parents splitting up than BTS.
"Who do I want to live with after the divorce?
Jungkook, Mom! I want to live at Jungkook's house!"
Now, don't worry, people. BTS is not over forever.
This is not Internet Explorer. They will be coming back.
But, with BTS on hiatus,
that does mean that there's room
for someone else to move up in the K-pop game.
And our very own Michael Kosta is just the man to try
in his brand-new segment
Kosta Can Do It.

tough jobs are what Kosta does.

Michael Kosta. This is my segment called Kosta Can Do It!
I'm ready to be a K-pop star. Do it like this. Ooh! Right?
You see what I'm saying?
No. This is definitely not gonna happen.
-Not with us, at least, though. -Just-- Hey--
We don't even know who you are. You just showed up here.
You don't know who I am.
Kosta Can Do It! It's not like I'm just a Joe Schmoe.
I know how to move.
Do it like...

KOSTA: Joe Schmoe is, like, an average dude.
I'm not average. I'm exceptional.

Okay, fine.
So, basically, uh,
they said that, uh,
you make them very sad and that you should leave.
Yeah. Sorry.
Hmm.
All right, so I guess I'm not going to be a K-pop star,
but P1Harmony are still my boys.

No crowd. I'm happy to see people. What's up? What's up?
-What's up? -(cheering) -Right?
I was like...
I was like, "Finally, people."
-Yeah, people, yeah? -Yeah.
You-you were celebrating people as well.
I think, since I've seen you, what,

-You're back out there. -Yeah. My favorite...
my favorite part of being an artist and musician
has always been performing, being on the road.
-Yeah? -And for that to be taken away from me,
it was really, really sad.
But we're happy that, you know...
you know, restrictions are-- you know, everything's getting back

We-we can do our full-capacity shows.
We can have a beautiful crowd like this over here.
-(cheering and applause) -Was there-- was there, like, a--
Was there anything weird that happened to you?
You know, I know a lot of performers, when they came back,
there-there was, like, a-- it was like a shock for them.
L-Like some athletes would talk
about how they weren't used to a crowd cheering.
-Yeah, yeah. -Some people would talk, like-- You know?
Did you have anything like that?
Um... yes.
-Oh, especially, like, I was out in the UAE, right? -Yeah.
And then, um, obviously, I'm used to having
-thousands and thousands of people in the crowd. -Right.
And then they booked us for a show,
but the restrictions was that they can be at the show
but there has to be, like, space between the tables
-but they can't stand up. -(light gasping, chuckling)
And most of my songs is dancing songs,
-so it's like... -(laughs)
So, I remember. And, guess what, I remember.
So, I'm performing,
and it's like they want to get up
-but they just looking at me. -(laughs)
So I'm like-- I'm like, "Yo, I can't-- This is so boring."
So I went on the table and I'm telling everybody--
I'm telling everybody, "Stand up!"
They're like...
(laughing)
So, I remember, after the show, I got in trouble
with the-- the promoter got in trouble,
-because I wasn't ever meant to get that close. -Oh, really?
But, you know, performing,
en-engagement with the crowd is, like, 80%
that gives the artist the energy.
-It gives you the life. It gives you the feeling. -Of course.
-It gives you the whole... -But then I-I just went back
this time, I was in there like,
-"Whoa, whoa." -Everybody stood up.

...happy belated birthday.
Since I've seen you, you turned 29
-in, uh... it was November. Yeah? -Yes. November. Yes.
Can-can I just say, this is one the-the craziest
and most magical things I've ever seen in my life.
So, I know you started this as a joke, but you...
-(chuckles) for your birthday... -(chuckles) Yes.
-...you-you posted your Venmo to social media. -Yes.
-Let me tell you what happened. -Okay. Tell me what happened.
(laughs)
Tell me what happened.
-So... -'Cause, wait, I'll tell you what the story was
and then you'll tell me what happened.
-Yeah. -So, story was Davido posted his Venmo to social media
and was like, "Everybody give me money for my birthday."
Right? And then people sent half a million dollars.
-(gasping) -Yeah.
S-So-- And then you were like, "'Cause I want to rescue
-my Rolls-Royce," which was... -No, I'm gonna--
-I shipped it. Um, I bought a Rolls-Royce. -Okay, okay.
-So let's start the story. Let's start the story. -So-- Okay.
-Let me start the story. -Yeah, okay. Go.
So, it was two things.
I really wanted this watch for my birthday,
and I wanted, like, my management
-and my, like, personal team to get it. -Okay.
So, it started off as, "Yo, um, Davido wants this watch,
-let's all put in money." And then, by mistake, -Yeah. Yeah.
my manager sends one of the messages to me,
So I'm like, "What watch?" So that-that was that.
-(Noah laughs) -That was that.
So, and then, after, I was like, "Yo, actually, we should, um--"
-'Cause I'm the one that's always giving. -Right.
You know, I-I'm never really the one to receive presents,
I'm the one always giving presents, I'm the one
-always making sure that everybody is okay. -Right.
So, I'm like, "You know what, this year I'm putting myself
first. You feel me?" So, um, I was like-- I was--
Me and my friend was in the balcony. I was like,
"Yo, should I put my account and see if that shit--
-if it go-- if it gets lit?" -Yeah?
He said, "Uh..." I said, "I own accounts I don't really
use like that." And the balance on that account was, like, zero.
I'm telling you, zero. So I tweeted, I was like,
I just shipped a Rolls-Royce to Nigeria, you know,
so, the price of the car is basically the same
-when you're trying to clear it. So, you-- -Yeah.
Because it doubles in many countries when you--
-Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. -So when you buy-- Just like--
So, if you buy a car, $500,000,
when-- to get it off the ship back home, you're paying, like,
-another 400,000, you know, because of the taxes. -Yeah.
'Cause of the import taxes, yeah.
So I'm like, "Yo, I'm about to just have my fans
give me money and I'm-a go ship-- to get the car out."
-So I put it up. -'Cause you got to
-free the Rolls-Royce, obviously. I mean-- -Yeah.
I put-- I-I put it up. Two minutes.
Um, equivalent to dollar--
I'm gonna say how-- the amount in dollars--
$20,000 in, like, seven minutes.
I'm like, "Aah."
And then I went to go take a shower,
I come back, it's like $70,000. I'm like--
So you know what I started doing?
I started calling all people-- like, famous people, like,
"Hey, come on, you know I gave you a hit song
last year. Come on. Come on."
I'm like, "Everybody--" I'm like,
"Everybody that I've helped, everybody I've helped
whichever way-- that's why this tour is called
We Rise By Lifting Others-- everybody that I've helped
in every way just donate money to me. And it came up to--
I was scared-- it came up to-- how much?
-600,000. -600,000?!
600,000.
And at this point I'm like...
-"Can I keep this?" -Feel like-- Yeah.
You feel me? Like, so much is going on in the world.
Um... You know what I'm saying? Like...
I can't be that insensitive. And-and I just felt-- You know,
-I spoke to my dad, he's my, like, my mentor. -Yeah, yeah.
I pick up the phone. "Hey, son, you know-you know you're not--
we can't keep that money, right?" I'm like, "I knew--"
I was like-- I was like-- We think the same.
-Like, you know, I was already thinking that. -Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? 'Cause you know, people-- even though,
like, people were like, "No--" A lot of people was like,
"No, keep it, you've done so much for the community."
Can-can I tell, like, this is-it's funny you say that,
because, like, one thing that I've learned around the world,
Nigerians love giving people money,
-especially when they've done something they like. -Yeah.
Like, I remember, like, I did a comedy show once
in South Africa. And you just do the show and then you're done.
And then, after the show, a Nigerian guy came up to me
afterwards and he was like, he was like, "Trevor, that was
one the funniest shows I have ever seen." And then
he shook my hand and it was just wad of cash.
-Yes. -And I was like, "No! No, what is happening here?"
And he was like, "That's for a good show." I was like,
-"They pay me already." He's like, "No, no, no." -Yes.
So I can see-- So, you-you-- Yeah. -So, yeah, so,
what we did, um, you know, um, I woke up the next day,
reflecting, you know what I'm saying?
And I just reflected my whole life,
and how God has blessed me so much.
And, you know, we, uh, we decided, you know,
as a family and as a team,
you know, to donate all $600,000
to orphanages around Nigeria.
-Aw, my man. -(cheering, applause)
-My man. -And-and--
-I love that. -Yeah. It was crazy.
So, we, uh--
Just-- just for accountability.
-Yeah. -You know, just for accountability.
It took, like, two months.
You know, you have to know which orphanage is real.
We got to... I had to send people
to each, like, every orphanage.
To make sure there's actually an orphanage there.
Yes. You know what I'm saying?
So it was taking, like, two months, right?
And I start getting tweets like,
"Man, this dude kept it, bro.
He still got that money." Because, like, after that,
I bought, like, two more cars.
And people are like, "Those are the cars now."
I bought a Lamborghini, and I bought...
But that was just my money, you know?
People are like, "Yup, that's it. That's-that's..."
-Now your fans are seeing you in the streets. -So, yeah,
but after two months, you know, I did a spread sheet,
you know, and I had, you know, everything was accountability.
-All, every wire that we did. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Every money that spent, you know, went to that cause.
And I'm happy that in my lifetime I got to do that.
You know, and to be remembered for that is just amazing.
-That's fun, man. I like that. I like that. -Yeah.
You know, a joke that turned into something big,
and then, you brought it back around.
I also like that there's some fans
who are gonna see you now driving your car,
-and they'd be like, "Those are my wheels." -Ah, you know,
listen. No, listen. I was saying. I was like, "Ah."
'Cause I'll be driving, just kind of like,
"Now, isn't that ours? I bought the car for you!"
"That's not your car. That's our car."
-That's our car. -That is our car.
"Hey, hey, move over. Move over. I'm getting in."
Um, let's talk about the tour, man.
Like you said, you told me about the title, and,
-you know, you've really been an artist who has gone... -Yeah.
from just making hit songs that are fun to hit songs
-that are fun and also have a meaning behind them. -Yes.
-Your new single "Stand Strong" has inspired people. -Yes.
-Yeah. -It becomes an anthem. You know this happened,
-obviously, in Nigeria, as well, with End SARS. -Yes. Yeah.
Look, why "Stand Strong," and then, why the new tour name?
Because I like this idea that you have
-in and around music. -Yes, um, okay, let me start
with "Stand Strong." Um, you know, obviously, like,
people know me, I make... You know, I make...
My music makes people smile and move.
You know what I'm saying?
But this time, I was really inspired.
Like, a couple of years ago, Kanye West and the, um,
-Sunday Service Choir... -Yeah.
-They actually did a remix to my song, "If." -Wow.
You know, in "If," I'm saying...
♪ I love you, I love you, there's nothing above you. ♪
They changed it to, "Jesus." ♪ I love you, I love you. ♪
You see Kanye there like, ♪ Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo. ♪
Oh, was that... was that...? I didn't know
-that was a remix of the song. -Yes, that was, like, the remix.
So since then, I've wanted an opportunity
to, you know, be able to perform with them.
And then, Kanye West was doing his listening party
in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta...
-Yes. -...where he had all that.
And then I met Jason,
met the choir, we out flew out to L.A.
I was like, "Yo, how can we connect this African music
with this beautiful thing you guys are doing?"
And, uh, and also I wanted to challenge myself,
you know, to make... to make different kind of music.
-I love that, man. -And we came together, and it's all bliss.
-It's beautiful, man. It's beautiful. -Thank you.
The tour has a great message.
You're gonna be in Brooklyn, you're gonna be in Boston.
-You got all the tour dates online. -Yes.
-Congratulations on everything. -Thank you.
-Good seeing you again. -So... Yes, sir.
-This is great. -So, with the tour, I want to say this.
-Okay, with the tour, yeah. -Yeah, so with the tour,
"We Rise By Lifting Others," it's basically mean,
not only bringing myself to America.
Also bringing everything else-- African food, African fashion.
This was done by an African designer, and...
On the tour, you're only wearing African designers, right?
Yes, Emmy Kasbit.
I'm only wearing African designers.
I'm only eating African food.
-I'm having African chefs come and do food backstage. -Wow.
-African dancers, so it's not just only me. -Wow.
-(applause, cheering) -So we're coming together, we're rising,
-we're taking everybody with us. -Wow.
-Man, that is a beautiful message. -Thank you.
