Backstage with: @Wale

One of those nights that feel extra special. A true connection to fans. Phones up, every lyric returned word for word, the energy in the room was palpable and his presence lit up the stage in a way that can only be done by someone as seasoned as him.

Backstage with: @Wale

GAFFER went backstage at the Grammy-nominated rapper from Washington, D.C’s first show back in London since 2020, and it felt like a true homecoming.

@Wale is someone who’s always moved between rap, sport and style without forcing it, and there was no easing in, no warm-up lap - he stepped back onto the London stage in his own Nike shoe like it’s second nature performing at the most iconic of venues, KOKO.

“My curiosity made me an artist. My curiosity made me find music. Doing this was a meant to be thing for me.”

For @lojaymusic, curiosity isn’t just a trait - it’s his compass. From experimenting in the studio to shaping a sound that blurs the lines between Afrobeats, R&B and something entirely his own, Lojay has always followed instinct over convention.

With his debut album XOXO, he arrives as an artist fully self-assured, yet still searching, still curious.

#The100

Lagos-born artist @lojaymusic fuses sensual rhythm with raw emotion, carving his name into the sound of a new generation. From underground brilliance to global stages, his evolution has been both intentional and natural in the best way. With hits like Monalisa, Tonongo and big features like on Chris Brown’s Sensational he’s become one of Nigeria’s most magnetic exports.

With his long-awaited debut album XOXO, Lojay delivers a body of work that feels cinematic yet intimate - lush with melody, heavy with feeling, and steeped in his signature blend of vulnerability and swagger.

The 100 continues with one of Afrobeats’ most compelling voices and an artist defining the pulse of now.

“I feel like if you don’t show your personality online and take control of your own narrative, people will push one on you that might be false. Ultimately just have fun with it, it’s social media, don’t take it too serious. Life’s never too serious man, you just gotta enjoy yourself.”

That’s @DjedSpence in a nutshell. He plays football the same way he approaches life. Confident, fearless, never letting anyone else write his story. In an era where athletes are often flattened into headlines, Spence flips the script: he’s not afraid to engage fans and show up with humour, lightness, and a refusal to let the internet define him. His message is simple: personality is power, don’t overthink it, have fun, enjoy life. Because even at the highest level, being yourself is everything.

That’s @DjedSpence in a nutshell. He plays football the same way he approaches life. Confident, fearless, never letting anyone else write his story. In an era where athletes are often flattened into headlines, Spence flips the script: he’s not afraid to engage fans and show up with humour, lightness, and a refusal to let the internet define him. His message is simple: personality is power, don’t overthink it, have fun, enjoy life. Because even at the highest level, being yourself is everything.

“I feel like if you don’t show your personality online and take control of your own narrative, people will push one on you that might be false. Ultimately just have fun with it, it’s social media, don’t take it too serious. Life’s never too serious man, you just gotta enjoy yourself.”

@DjedSpence is built different. From South London to Spurs to England, when it comes to his journey, Djed has always carried the confidence of his roots and the quiet conviction of his faith. A defender who moves with calm, yet stands with conviction, he embodies a new chapter for English football.

As the first Muslim man to play for the Three Lions, Spence represents more than a position on the pitch, he reflects heritage, belief, and resilience. In his words: family, God, and the game that raised him. This isn’t just about football. It’s about who you are when the whistle blows.
