Afrobeats star from Nigeria Young Jonn connected with billionaire Tony Elumelu, the man who served as the inspiration for his May 29 No. 1 Billboard single, "Elumelu." Olamide jokes that they are matching drip for drip after watching videos of them toasting cognac, standing arm in arm on a wooden deck, and both of them wearing nice clothes. Young Jonn goes from being a hitmaker for Wizkid to becoming a solo star with millions of streams, while Elumelu chairs UBA and established a foundation that empowers 18,000 African entrepreneurs. In Nigeria's music scene, fans saw it as a full-circle hustle moment.
