He has also interviewed other superstar athletes such as Antonio Brown, Damian Lillard, and Paul Pierce. This is in addition to conversations with social media provocateurs like Jake Paul, and younger respected artists like Kaycyy, Lil Tecca, and Jeleel! Songs JELEEL! has been veering into Afrobeats over the past couple of years, and "HELLCAT!" with Batoma Lagare is a great example.
