33 MOMENTS BEFORE 33 DAY 23/33 Gomey and Scarlet I met @temigomez in 2014, and I met @thescarletgomez around 2015/2016, when I was finishing up my YBAG mixtape. I wanted Gomey to help me with an interlude, so I sent him the entire project to listen to. Somewhere along the way, Scarlet heard Success with Deshinor and loved it. That was how I met her, and from there, our relationship grew. Over the years, Gomey became someone I could learn from, professionally and personally. When I wanted to get signed, I knew I needed someone who understood the industry, so I introduced Jackson Fierce to him. That connection eventually grew into something bigger, and we started working together more closely. He also helped me secure a management role at the studio I worked at before my life changed. When I got the call to enter Big Brother Naija, they knew they would be part of the journey. I went into the house to do my thing, only to come out and discover how much Scarlet had held things down behind the scenes. What she did during that period meant so much to me. She’s one of the best people I could have had in my corner. Today, seeing Scarlet become one of Nigeria’s biggest actresses, leading major productions and starring in the highest-grossing Nollywood film, makes me genuinely happy. I’ve watched these two build their lives and careers, and I’m grateful to have witnessed and experienced a part of that journey. Beyond everything they’ve done for me, I admire the relationship they’ve built together. I don’t believe any couple is perfect, but there’s something about what they share that I value and hope to carry into my own relationship someday. In my 33 years, Gomey and Scarlet are two people who have influenced me in ways I will always cherish. I love them, I’m grateful for them, and I don’t take their place in my story for granted.
