Wale pulls up for a deep and wide-ranging convo with Cam on this week’s Funky Friday. From navigating the music industry and staying authentic, to his Nigerian roots, NFL takes, and thoughts on the evolution of the Black quarterback — Wale doesn’t hold back. They dive into fashion highs and lows, sneaker culture, and even play a Fantasy Football producer game to wrap it up.
