I Said What I Said

I Said What I Said is one of Africa’s biggest podcasts, hosted by friends Jola (Jollz) and Feyikemi (FK) Abudu and they have been saying the quiet parts out loud since 2017.

Each week, they unpack pop culture, careers, money, dating, family and the many confusions of modern adulthood with brutal honesty, big laughs and zero pretending.

Come for the banter.

Stay for the hot takes, hard truths and the comfort of knowing somebody else is also just figuring life out like you.

The “Business of Baddie Fabric” Episode ft. Arike Alaso
byThe Carousel Network

This week, we're joined by Arike Alaso for an episode that takes as many chaotic detours as humanly possible. Before getting into your dilemmas, we dissect why Roblox has the younger generation in an iron-clad chokehold and the existential dread of watching people you used to play outside with become actual, full-blown adults.

Then we dive headfirst into your messy entries: from the sheer audacity of a friend dating an abusive ex-fiancé, to an open marriage currently hanging on by a thread and full FBI-level cyberstalking just to find a dating app match on Instagram because swiping right normally was apparently too simple.

Arike then tells us about building her fabric business, losing her husband, balancing motherhood with ambition and what’s next for Arike Alaso. As always, there are strong opinions, side quests and plenty of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!
