He explained that American celebrities are no smarter and no better than ordinary people, comparing them to MacG, Sol and himself. He also went into conversation about Cassper Nyovest‘s manager an explained why he rates T Lee more than other artist managers in South Africa.

“Yoh, I rate T Lee as a manager, probably better than some of the best A-list managers. Like in terms of how smart he is. How he runs his business and what he’s capable of doing. You just realize they’re in a different distribution aspect. Like there is no difference bro, these are just normal human beings who are just as… In fact I think we’re better. I think we run things better, we’re just not in that distribution hub that the States or Europe maybe has.“

Cassper and T Lee have been a tight force, working together since Cassper’s first album Tsholofelo. The two are still working together and continue to break boundaries in the industry.

George Avakian also raved about meeting Beyoncé and Jay-Z and how his first interaction with Jay-Z was authentic. George also mentioned that at a point he got to hold Jay-Z’s phone playing music off of it while at a restaurant in Maboneng.
