What actually would you call your profession? As a sumo my profession has the power of the tongue. The power of the tongue? Yeah. Okay. Meaning your. Okay. I wanted to say the name. I wanted to say the name. I wanted to say the name is a sync in Vizuerie. Yeah. Okay. And okay we know you are crazy monophoonsi. Yeah. Yes, but I also want you to let people know apart from crazy monophoonsi, you What is that name? Do you feel like other people should know? Yes, so I go by the name Crazy Monofunzi and I'm the ghetto prince. I was born and raised in Dandora. It's a ghetto. I'm not a king. You know everybody calls himself the king. So I just decided to be the prince. I'm the ghetto prince. Because you're from the ghetto. I'm a proud ghetto Narayan. So you're not forgetting where you come from? I'm not forgetting where I come from. That's important in this industry. Very true. That's very important. It keeps you on the right path. I always follow that and I just want to be like a motivation from the people at the ghetto so that when they see me, they see like, yeah, we can make it. I like the way you dress. Your get-up explains a lot about you. It stands out. You're not the kaweida that we see on the streets just like anyone. You have your own style and I like it. I don't follow trends. I make trends. You make trends? Like me, I don't follow trends. I just wear what I want. You wear what you want. Whether or not you've seen someone wearing it? You know, like water 2019, my vibe is all about simplicity is wisdom. Simplicity is wisdom? That's my vibe. Now let's talk about what you're... When you were doing spoken word, was that something that you had pre-written? Something you were talking about before or that's something that you thought of just now? Like I had pre-written, but it's mostly inspired by the things that I see like in daily life routine. Like I get in Amatatu, like there was a line I was saying, when I squeeze one of them from the Mishibi, like I don't know if I'm from a safety belt, then I get a line. Like in 99, 90, 90, because the streets don't know if I get a line. So like it's like, you go to lines, you go everywhere. I just get them from random places, but when they cut down, then I just make a piece out of it. Make a piece out of it? So it's everyday life? Everyday life. Okay. What's your, how can I say? Your favorite piece, that one piece that you've written and you said, you might say this one. This is the one. What is it about? What's the general gist of it? Firstly, I'll say every piece from the master is a masterpiece. Okay. You have a way with words. She has a way with words. But this one piece I wrote, it's called Love For Bet. Love For Bet. It's Love and Alphabet together. Love For Bet. Actually, when I first, when I was writing it, it wasn't like, I was like just having fun. I was just playing with the alphabets. Then I did my first show. It went viral. People were like, we need that one. When I was coming here today, I just wrote which piece should I perform. Everybody like my social media is like, Love For Bet, Love For Bet, Love For Bet, Love For Bet, Love For Bet. Like people love it that much. People love it that much. But that's not the one you performed. Yeah, I'll do it on the other set. Okay. On the other set. Okay. Like we have another one, then we'll do the Love For Bet. Okay.
