"At my lowest I put it out publicly and just asked people to pray for me. But the one person I couldn't call was my mom.
She's my prayer warrior, but I didn't want her to have a heart attack. I knew I'd survive. I just didn't want to survive and lose her to the shock."
TG explains why he could tell the whole internet he was sick, but couldn't bring himself to tell his own mother.

What does it take to charge $100k for one music video? TG Omori says it’s one thing:
“If you can be consistent for 10 years straight..and it cost us family time and everything. But now one music video can feed me for six months."

“My brother gave me his kidney after it took us 9 months to find a donor. The doctor told me it wasn’t a match and my body wasn’t accepting it. The doctor tried again, but it wasn’t responding. My brother still has to live with only one kidney.”😭💔

" They say money can't buy happiness, but money can buy you time..
..Let me give you an instance. Three dialysis sessions a week, and where I did mine it was 150k to 200k per session.
That's about 31 million a year just to stay alive while you wait. A minimum-wage person is dead already on one session.."
TG breaks down what it really costs to stay alive on dialysis in Nigeria.

"…They were texting each other, 'since Asake left him he's fallen off, nobody rocks with him anymore.' Meanwhile I was fighting for my life. That's how cruel the game is.
..That period, I was in a hospital bed in Ikoyi for months, and most people didn't know. “

be zuck:
- realize you can't compete with frontier labs
- open source your own, trick china into training for you
- buys china's top agent (manus), learns harness design
- china wakes up, blocks the acquisition
- spends $20b to KO scaleai as a data supplier
- builds muse, modeled off openclaw
3d chess. i dont see a world were they dont win. distribution always does. your grandma and 15 year old cousin will sign up for muse in the same week.
and you know for a fact they are optimizing every nook and cranny for engagement out the ass.
very well played team

TG Omori told us he had "the best of Asake's years," and he's specific about what he means: the years Asake would try anything on set.
Jump off the bike. Roll in the mud.
Once an artist is wearing millions in designer, TG says, they mostly want to look fly, and the director gets less room to experiment. @boy_director

His theory for why this happens more with our stars than with The Weeknd or Chris Brown: "Most of us do these things to survive poverty." Once the money lands, "immediately we're satisfied."
The question underneath it is the one we want your take on. What happens to creative hunger once someone has escaped poverty?

Something else I keep thinking about.
America never really decided what a country this rich owes the people who live in it.
We argue endlessly about taxes, socialism, billionaires, government. Underneath all of it is a simpler question. What should the baseline be? What should every American be able to count on from a country with this much wealth?
Healthcare that doesn't wreck you. Schools that work. Cities that are clean and safe. Enough time to actually have a life.
Traveling made that harder to ignore. Other wealthy countries made different choices about what ordinary life should feel like.
America has extraordinary abundance. We just never agreed on what it was supposed to buy for everybody.
And that's the betrayal. We have this much, and we decided it was enough.
One of the most dangerous things an American can do is travel.
For my birthday this year, we spent a few weeks moving through South Korea, China and Japan.
I keep coming back to the same thought: parts of Asia make America feel way more broken than they should.

If you can’t get access to Muse yet and want to get a feel for what this category of AI assistant is supposed to be, try Atona from my guy @tayonoire
It’s basically a personal AI assistant that actually helps with the work around you: triages your inbox, drafts replies in your voice, keeps your calendar organized, schedules meetings, takes notes, follows up, and turns things into tasks so less falls through the cracks.
I’ve been testing it and it’s pretty solid.

I've been testing out Muse. Don't know if you can trust Meta with your data but I think Mark Zuckerberg might have found his Trojan horse
