Inside Russia's Hidden Black Community caribbean american reacts to being black in russia reactionAdded:
significance of the Huna tattoo.
>> I'm Russian [ __ ] Who the [ __ ] >> is there a lot of black?
>> Last video before I have to begin members week inside Russia's hidden black community.
>> When I get the tattoo like uh 50,000 of subscribers get off from me like in 1 hour.
>> Oh, that's so real.
This is going to be a very very interesting video here.
Yeah. Can I get a number three and just put the fries in the bag?
>> I was searching for the right guy for this video and after a year of searching, I stumbled across Sam, a black guy born and raised in Russia who knows Moscow like the back of his hand.
This is Black in Russia.
The thing with the term black, right, is that when people hear the word black, really and truly, that word was really and truly only like meant for Africanamean people, right?
Like I I really don't like to tell people that I'm black because when you know the historical context behind like where that was coined from you, it would make sense. It's just that other colored um African descent places just like follow behind African-Americans.
Some of them don't use it. Some of them do use it.
But uh this notion of this black identity, this unified black identity is stupid. Um just like how the notion of a unified European identity is stupid.
That's just stupid honestly speaking.
But >> want to become a cyber.
All right.
Okay. I see basketball. I see predominantly white people.
>> When I think of Russia, I think of cold political stuff. Kind of like a place not to go if you're from where I'm from.
>> But I don't really know too much about it other than cold and like politics.
>> You know what I mean? Man, you won't believe what I'm about to show you in Moscow. But I assume that people from the US have no idea that even black people in this city, northern Russia, we're living doing our thing. Yay.
>> I didn't know either. Like when you think of Moscow being from where I'm from, you don't expect black people.
Like when we think of Russia, we just think of white people. We never assume like a black community in Russia. You know what I mean? You don't even think that black people could be doing fine in a city like Moscow. a language way different from English, a culture way far away from Africa.
>> Even just hearing you speak Russian, that's just to me is like it it don't feel real.
>> The idea is to celebrate blackness.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh my gosh, guys. It's Yeah, this is too real. As someone who's a big Russian fanboy, um, you know, people always look at me to this day, especially other black people in America, they always look at me and they're like, they're like, "Aren't Russians like racist?"
Or they'll be like, "Don't they not like black people over there?"
I I I could talk so much about this.
I mean e even personally right uh I already talked about this but um you know my personal life, friends, family, right? Except for my middle brother. My my middle brother, you know, he looked at me, he was like, "Nah."
He's like, "Nah, Russia ain't like that." I know how Russia is. Russia ain't like that. But like everyone else, man, you know, lots and lots and lots of problems. And I'm really and truly um downplaying it.
But uh um especially like around like family members, you know, um being called uh insane quite literally by your own family for being a Russian fanboy.
Um, I I could honestly talk a lot here, mostly because, you know, my family is like color people and you all have this perception of, "Oh, Russia is super racist. You're you're out of your mind for loving a country like this, you know?
I mean I mean the stuff that's just going through my head, I just Yeah.
Yeah, >> there is not a spot.
>> I don't want I don't want to talk too much because the the video just began, right?
Like I I'm withholding from it.
>> When black people do good.
>> Wherever you put a black person, we will find our way. Okay.
>> And through my life story and life stories of my friend, I'm about to show you that we always find our way.
>> You can't stop us.
It's time to experience experience.
Let's do it.
All right.
Let's experience it.
So, Soviet Union isn't Russia. Soviet Union is like 40 countries.
>> So is that the same thing as USSR?
>> Yeah. Soviet Union, USSR. That's different names for the same country.
>> But Russia was one of the countries in that.
>> Yeah.
>> When I like think of Russia, this is what I think of these buildings.
>> When Soviet Union reaches peak, they started building identical shits everywhere. Identical schools, housing, groceries, everything was the same. That is why you get the feeling when you're in Belarus, they in Russia.
>> Or if you go to even Poland at some extent, you feel like you're in Russia.
It was the same infrastructure throughout the entire Okay, >> the flies, the toilets, the street names.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Finally.
God damn. That's another thing, too.
People People over here in the West, they they think that the USSR is Russia.
They literally think the USSR is freaking Russia, bro.
No, he said have like 40 different countries. Well, if I'm not mistaken, it was like 14 republics. But the thing with the USSR is that, you know, USSR collapsed. So, we don't even know. But the USSR was like just literally creating like different republics l like a new republic like could have been made and that could have increased like 15 republics, right? you know, so or more, but we don't know because the USSR collapsed. So, there's that.
Um, so like the stuff that the USSR did, people attribute the USSR to the modern uh Russian Federation. In fact, I see Russian people who say that the USSR is Russia, too, which is like, no, no, no, no, no. Oh my goodness gracious me.
Like, no. And it's like, why do I see people say that the USSR is Russia? I don't understand.
Specifically referring to some Russians who who do this. It's like, bro, this is one the USSR is like the main reason why Russia has such a bad reputation right now. Russia has such a bad reputation because of a country that doesn't exist anymore. This is this is one of the reasons why I said I don't like the USSR because the USSR ruined Russia's reputation, right?
It ruined it. Imagine, right, your parents have a bad reputation, but because you came from your parents, right? You know, you're, you know, your your parents' offspring, obviously, everyone thinks that you're your parents.
They look at you and they think, "Oh, that's your parent mistakening you for your parents."
Right. And it's like, no, no, you're a completely different person from your parents. Yes, obviously you're going to inherit traits and stuff from your parents.
Yes. All the all the republics in the USSR inherited whatever the USSR had to offer for them to inherit. But they're not the they're not like Russia is not including Russia, but Russia is not the USSR. I don't know why people keep on like, bro, that's one of those things that annoy the living hell out of me.
Like, bro, it's widespread. People keep thinking that Russia is the USSR, especially here in America and in the West. God damn. But anyways, >> for the street names too, >> like in any Soviet Union, you have a len street as a main street of the city and you have a bunch of like squares at the same in any Soviet Union street.
>> Tell me about how you ended up in Russia.
>> For you to be black and in a country like Russia, >> it has to be something bizarre. In my instance, my dad was sent to the Soviet Union in ' 88 or ' 89 to study.
>> From where?
>> From Nigeria.
>> So you're Nigerian.
>> Euroba boys.
>> Euroba boy.
>> Yurub. No, Euroba. What the [ __ ] We're not in America. Yuruba >> is common for Nigerians to come to Russia. It >> has to be a bizarre story. It's not common >> and it was probably a lot less black people then than now.
>> At a point in my life, I knew only two cities in my hometown. Black families, mine and a friend of ours. It is >> Before he continues, look at his skin tone.
I want you guys to look at his skin tone, right? He's from Nigeria. He's from Africa, right? Look at his skin tone, right? It's really important for me to point this out. Now, I don't know how my skin looks right now, but even then, look at my skin. Look at his skin tone, right?
You can see the stark contrast in our skin tone. And I'm saying this because it's annoying as [ __ ] when I see people try to look at me and deny me my European heritage because I'm colored even though my great-grandparent was European. Right.
people espec it's it's es especially white people that do this nonsense right because these people genuinely never seen like a true black true darkkinned I'm talking pure black person this guy is clearly pure black clear like pure like darkkinned a but African and it's funny because he's Nigerian right my ancestry DNA results showed me that I'm like 34% Nigerian, right? But you could see the start differences. I mean, even with him too, I always look at people and I tell people like I don't have my face does not look African. Like my face looks more European than African really and truly. Like it's really annoying as [ __ ] whenever people look at me and tell me that, "Oh, you must hate yourself."
Because I look at them and I tell them that I'm not a pure black African person. And they're like, "Oh, you hate yourself. Oh, why do you hate yourself?"
I don't hate myself. I don't deny telling people that I'm African descent.
No [ __ ] Sherlock. When you're Creole, you're African and you're European descent.
The problem is is when if someone looks at you and deny you your heritage, well, obviously you're going to look at them and you're going to be like, "No, you're stupid.
You're a moron."
Right?
Like I said, it came from my great-grandparent. I don't know if it was my great-grandfather or my great-grandmother. I have to ask my father that question, but I feel like it had to be a great grandfather because my European genius despite being minority is still lowkey pretty dominant, right?
Because one, my face does not look African. Two, my skin tone still came out bright. My mom, she literally showed me my pictures when I was a kid. uh like just born. She was like, "Yeah, when you were just born like you you you didn't come out black, you came out white." And then over time, you just got like slightly darker, but even then, you were super bright as a kid, even when that tan like came about. And you could kind of still see this. It's just that I live in such a high UV radiation environment that my skin is constantly tan. But like I said before, if you've been watching me long enough, ju just just scroll through my videos if you want. You'll just see like days where I just look super bright and then days where I just look super dark. But anyways, but like I said, it started with my great-grandparent, right? Then it was my grandfather, right? Grandfather came 50% European. Then he went had my father.
Father 25% European, right? Then my father went had me um you know half of 25. My ancestry DNA results said that I'm roughly speaking um 8 to 11% roughly speaking. I didn't do the DNA thing correctly but it said that I had like roughly 8 to 11% um European DNA based on what they saw. Although I didn't do the steps correctly. So it might be slightly higher. Honestly, in my personal opinion, I would probably say like 10 to 15% European DNA is probably inside. But again, makes sense because what's half of 25, right? Uh half of 25 is, you know, 12.5%.
Right now, like I said, the reason why I said that this it would make sense for it to be a a male great grandparent is because um one, I look just like my father. I look just like my grandfather, too. In fact, actually, I'm just going to show you guys a picture of my grandfather on the screen right now. 50% European, 50% West African descent.
Like, yeah. Um, I mean, if you see if you watch my video yesterday where I didn't have this on and you looked at my hair and you like just look at that video from yesterday that I posted, look at my grandfather's picture and you will see I look just like him, right? Same thing with my father. I look just like my father too.
So, you know, because we're all men, the Y chromosome of men does not change. So, because of this, you know, I just speculated, okay, then my great-grandparent had to have been most likely, you know, my great-grandparent had to have been um a male male European, right? Because the father's genes are always dominant. The father's genes are always dominant. And since I came up with such strong European features, despite being predominantly West African descent, then most likely my Y chromosome that I have inside of me is from Europe, right? If I would have to get this confirmed though.
But anyways, uh but I I'm just like pointing this out because really and truly it's annoying as [ __ ] whenever I see people in my comments um they try to post some stupid [ __ ] um assuming that I'm like completely African or something when I'm literally European too, right? Okay, this is not me denying anything. This is just me simply saying uh what needs to be said. But anyhow, and this is also why uh these morons, I mean really and truly, um I was literally like jokingly talking with my mother the other day and I looked at her cuz she was like, "When are you going to give me grandchildren?"
And I looked at her, I was like, "Uh, give me a couple years and uh you're going to have a white Russian grandchildren, right?" And I jokingly looked at her and well, she knows. She knows. My mother knows. She knows damn well. Um like that I'm a big Russian fan boy. I looked at her. I was like, "Look, you you're going to have to accept the fact that if I decide to get a wife, cuz I don't know if I want a wife or not, it's most likely going to be Russian.
You're going to have to accept that."
But anyways, that's more for a different video.
Decides to try it out. He kind of like it. Then [ __ ] go left. The Soviet Union collapse. You have the hungry ' 90s. And he still decides to stay.
>> What's the hungry '90s? The hung is that's after the Soviet Union collapsed.
Russia had like eight to 10 years of lawlessness. Total lawlessness.
>> What's that that movie uh purge where it's like all crime is legal or something?
>> Crime is legal.
>> You're lying. So someone like cop could see someone knock somebody out in the face and nothing happens to them.
>> Nothing happens.
>> Your mom is Nigerian too.
>> Both my parents Euroba.
>> Do you consider yourself more Nigerian or more Russian?
>> My base is Nigerian. My spirit is Nigerian. But the way I speak, the way I interact, the way I talk is Russian European because >> cuz you were born and raised there.
>> Yeah. But like whenever I'm talking about something deep, like where my energy comes from.
>> Yeah.
>> That's totally Nigerian.
>> So let me say this. In the States, there's this type of black person that too white for the black kids and too black for the whites.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you feel like you're too Russian for the Nigerians and too Nigerian for the Russians?
>> I had a moment like that in my life till I went to uni. Before that, everything I had about my black experience was knowledge. But now it shift into experience. Most of us, we have this concept of identity. You have no blacks around you. You try to act as the people you see around you. That's the Russians.
So like, yo, I'm Russian. Speak the language. I like only white girls. I listen to Russian music.
>> Right. I'm not African. Once you black, you're black, bro.
>> Wherever you at, Russia, China, US, they will let you know.
>> In Brazil, there's black Brazilians, right? In UK, there's black British people, right? What if it's just like y'all in the early stages of having y'all black people to where it feels like it's not like a melting pot?
>> Yeah, but you all of you have your American experience. The MexicanAmerican experience.
>> This is a very um American centric view here in the UK. Um really and truly, um it's just you're British. um the UK, the British uh Commonwealth, it really depends, but this like black identity isn't really as strong. I remember I saw a video of a palace guard at Buckingham Palace, right? He was a black guy, um black British guy, right?
And you know, I was like reading the comments and a black African-Amean uh the actual black person cuz black again was a term really for African-Americans. You know, he made a comment and he was like, "Oh man, you know, you really showing out. You really represented for black people." And the people in the comments was like, "What are you talking about, my guy?" Right?
because this was a British this was a British um environment and you know you know most of the people in the comments are British and you know people were just like what are you talking about he's just a regular guy that's just a palace guard like there's nothing about black white none of that what what what are you talking about you know what I mean like it's like really and truly it's more like identity really and truly That's more like matter. Like for us in Barbados, right?
British people look at us as, "Oh, you're from the Caribbean. You're West Indian. Okay." But I'll never really hear a British person look at me and be like, "Oh, you're black." No. Uh-uh.
It's just more like regional identity, like, "Oh, okay. This is where you're from." Right?
You know what I mean? Like I so this idea of like a Africanameans think that color people anywhere else follow the same logic as them. No, that's not true. In fact, actually I've had my own personal experience with African-Americans.
I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to be really honest with you. I don't like them. I don't I don't really like them. I am perfectly fine with African people. I'm perfectly fine with other Caribbean people, any other color people. I'm completely fine with. But I don't like African-Americans.
Me as a guy who's color just like them.
My experience with them has just not been pleasant. That is my experience. I am not trying to be racist. YouTube, I'm not trying to be racist. But in my experience, they have given me hell. I'm going to be quite honest with you. And other black people/color people, whatever you want to call them, they also say the same thing. I'm talking people who aren't African-Americans.
Other I've spoken to Africans about this. I've spoken to many kinds of of color people from different parts of the world and they all say like yeah African-Americans are extremely like not all of them but there's a like a widespread amount that's just they they just make life harder and I live in America so I got to like deal with African-Americans every day.
In fact, African-Americans never really liked me that much either because me from a completely different culture. Um, they tried to impose that uh black identity on me. And when I looked at them and I was like, uh, no, I'm not.
This is not my culture. This is not where I was raised. Um, this this has nothing to do with me. They really didn't like it because I did not want to identify with the same black culture as them.
In fact, actually, I remember back a couple years ago, I'm 21 now. Um, was this like 5 years ago or something? I don't know, but I was like in high school, right? and you know look at African-Amean looked at me and she was like I forgot what the conversation was but just keep listening trust me but all I remember is I looked at them and I said I'm not African-Amean I'm not I'm not African-American and the entire class of African-Americans just went ballistic just explo loaded at me and they were like, "What? How could you how could you say that? You're black. H how could you not call yourself African-American?" And I'm just like, "Because I'm not."
I'm like, "Just cuz I just so happen to share the same skin color as you doesn't mean that I'm a part of the same cultural space as you. I'm a part of the same ethnicity as you.
You think a Spanish person is the same as a Russian person just because they both are in Europe and they both happen to be white? No.
Right. But anyways, this is why I always say my videos. I'm Creole or I'm English Caribbean or I'm AfroCaribbean descent or West Indian.
It's the same [ __ ] Same [ __ ] All of those terms you can use, they all correspond to the same thing. British Caribbean, Creo, Afro West Indian, AfroCaribbean, any of those terms. They all mean the same [ __ ] But really, I just look at people and just tell people racially speaking, I'm Creole. Ethnicity speaking, I'm um I'm West Indian/ um British Caribbean.
So, or or nationalitywise, I'm you know, Barbadian, aka Beijing, hence my channel name. But whatever, let's continue. Let me let me stop yapping.
>> When you're growing up as a black person in Russia, the first thing you do is neglect the second part. But people around you will always let you know you're black. Always.
>> So, the first thing you have to do, what I'm very grateful to my dad for, accept the fact that, yo, I'm an African born in Russia. And trying to find that balance. Yeah.
>> Well, you're African descent born in Russian, but I understand that's the terminology there. If you're born and raised in a place, you're whatever that place like chilling, bro.
>> Yo, what's up, >> Pooty? Bro, good to meet you, man.
>> You're a rapper, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Heard some good things, man. Heard some good things. Py. Pooty >> like pooding.
>> Like poody with a No, no, no. He said py like piny.
>> No, no, no. Oh, you got a pudin tattoo.
>> That is insane.
>> Show it real quick. Show it to the camera.
>> Yo, what's up?
>> Where'd you get that?
>> Like one year ago, bro.
>> What's the uh significance of the pudin tattoo?
>> I'm Russian, [ __ ] Who the [ __ ] >> is there a lot of uh black Holy beast, bro. Holy baste, man.
Bro, I wanted to get me like a a a Putin shirt or some [ __ ] like that, too. But you see, if I if I had to like wear that out in here in the US, that would get me a lot of problems. Um yo, if you've watched my videos and you seen me with my um like shirts, my um anti- Ukraine shirts, man, you have no idea, guys. Like, everyone around me was like, "Dude, you're going to get shot, you know, cuz America guns are everywhere cuz I've been wearing this [ __ ] out in public and stuff, you know? I'm not afraid of that, really." But like everyone was like, "Dude, you're going to get shot, bro."
They're like, "Bro, you're going to run into the wrong person." And they're literally going to shoot you, bro.
They're like, I don't know how it hasn't happened to you yet, but it's it's it's it's going to happen to you.
But but this wearing something with Putin on it. Yeah, I would not do that. I would not like go and wear something with Putin on it and they walk in public like 100% like that that that everyone definitely recognizes Putin here. So yeah. No, I will 100% like Yeah, I probably would get shot.
>> Folks who who rap out here?
>> Not really, but all of my guys rapping.
Like I'm the one famous black rapper in Russia.
>> Oh, you're like the like biggest one.
Bet. Let's uh go inside. Check everything out. Y'all Russian handshakes be killing me in the US. We call that the Mexican handshake.
>> Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
That's so good, bro. This is where you do all all your songs and stuff.
>> No, I'm doing all the jewelry here.
>> Yeah, we got this stuff, some new [ __ ] for our fans or something.
>> That is the same exact laptop that I use >> that I'm literally watching this on right now. That's crazy.
>> Oh [ __ ] Are you a Satanist?
>> No, it's for my jeweler.
>> Do you speak English?
>> No.
>> Accent is silent.
>> He is. I don't know. Why didn't he respond right away?
>> Are you sure you want to enter that room with this guy?
Don't go, bro. The money doesn't work.
[ __ ] that [ __ ] >> bro. This And then it's red.
>> He's the same as that [ __ ] in this bed.
>> You like uh Satan?
>> Yeah. you you like uh what the hell did I like I could have sworn I saw a article that said Putin banned all Satanist churches in Russia or or something like something along those lines.
I not too long ago.
>> Yeah, I like >> God. You know, like >> I like God.
>> Okay.
>> My God.
>> Hey, who's your God?
>> They will.
>> Oh [ __ ] What do you do when the devil appears in the name you're not ready for? Huh? You think it's a joke?
The devil can you this life?
>> He says he [ __ ] the devil on this bed.
He or the devil you or youvil.
>> This is how >> I was afraid to go HERE, BRO.
>> I REBUKE YOU.
>> AMEN.
>> IN THE NAME OF JESUS. REBUKE, >> MY [ __ ] >> WHAT IS GOING ON?
>> Check this out.
>> I don't want TO GO IN THERE.
Let's go. Let's go.
>> Get me out of this.
>> What is going on, BRO? I WANT NO PROBLEMS. WE COOL, RIGHT?
>> IN THE NAME OF JESUS. HEY, tell him cast no spells >> by his own hands with the >> I actually heard that witchcraft is lowkey like prevalent in Russia.
>> How true is that?
>> You talking about a fist? Did you not see a Satan ritual? My mind is right now, bro.
>> WE ARE I FORGOT WE ARE IN RUSSIA. Y'ALL SEE THE TITLE? WHAT THE [ __ ] I'VE BEEN WITH [ __ ] this whole time. THE FIRST WHITE GUY I TALKED TO, I SEE A >> What are we doing here? What are we doing here? What are we doing here? Show me the jury. Show me the jury. In America, you see a white dude reaching the back, he's going to shoot this [ __ ] up.
I'm laughing because it's true.
Guys, I'm literally terrified of going out in the public in the US due to the risk of someone coming in with weapons and, you know, bop bop bop bop. I don't want to say the word cuz I want this video to stay monetized.
Number one. And number two, if YouTube thinks the video is bad, you're going to get less money from it. So, I got to be careful with what I say. But yeah, I'm extremely terrified because it's like my goodness gracious me.
Every time I'm out in public, I'm like looking at exits. I'm like, whoa, this place is not safe. Someone could just come here. And it happens all the time.
You know, someone just comes and they, you know, they have like a freaking automatic rifle and they start, you know, pop. You know what I mean?
That's like one of the reasons why I'm like introverted here in the US to be honest. I just mostly just stay at home and you know like I said before you know I get the I get essential stuff done obviously you know school making sure you know money is still coming in whatnot like you know I'm actually you know going to become a health care assistant soon right so it's not like I'm a loser being at home or doing anything like that of course not you know you know I got stuff going for me and this YouTube channel is one of it but still man It's just like the fact I I'm like so terrified of going out because I'm genuinely afraid understandably too that someone might just randomly come if I'm just hanging out and just start like just you know popping down the place and just start you know unalivving people you know it's just unfortunate. Um it is what it is though.
>> Basically he's the master.
>> Yeah he's the master. We calling white people master in Russia. Oh no. The master of the master of jewelry.
>> WHEN THE GOD [ __ ] SELL Y'ALL SOUL, BRO.
>> ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
>> YES.
>> He can show how he's >> polishes and he's polishing the jewelry.
>> Show me how we pray, bro. Like, y'all show me how to show me how we pray. SHOW ME HOW WE GO TO CHURCH, BRO. Show me how we worship Jesus.
>> It's crazy because Russia is such a Christian country, too. It's insane. If I'm not believing in this god [ __ ] so I don't believe in this devil [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] about all of it. I believe in space.
>> We are all mad. I told you, bro. For a black person to be in Russia, you have to be bizarre.
>> [ __ ] I'm bizarre. Good enough for me.
I'm a very bizarre person. Everyone, and it's true. Everyone says, "You're a weirdo." I've always been a weirdo. The good kind of weirdo, though.
>> Oh, wait. I had a comment in one of my like reactions on Russia. Someone was like, a guy was like, "Bro, I've been like watching all your reactions on Russia and you know, you seem like you're sick in the head." And you know what? I didn't even deny it. You know, I did not deny it because really and truly, um, you know, I straight up just look, bro, I looked at my mom and I was like, honestly, you know, I'm very different. I know that I'm very I'm not normal.
I don't harm people. I'm just not normal. I'm just very uncanny. Right.
Every time, you know, my brother, oldest brother here, not the middle one, but every time my oldest brother tells me, talks to me, you know, he's like, "Dude, every time I I'm like telling people about my family and I'm telling them about you, I always just tell them that you're a very it takes a special kind of person to understand your way of thinking. Um, so Hey, I [ __ ] up the family.
Hey, she just want some that I call that [ __ ] Hey, hey, hey, I [ __ ] up the family. I [ __ ] up the family. I do that [ __ ] dark.
I was born here. Yeah. I was born in a little town and uh when I was 14 years old, I moved to St. Petersburg. Moved to St. Petersburg with my mama. She's black, too. She's the first female black rapper in Russia.
>> Your mom raps? Wait, hold on. Wait.
There's female rappers in Russia.
>> A little. My mom was the first like she opened those gates, you know. My dad, he's African. He was just studying here.
My mom like uh didn't say him that he has a child and he moved uh back to Africa without knowing that he have a son here.
>> Have you and him spoken?
>> Yes. Yes. He found me like when I was 21.
>> Wow.
>> I'm 33. Like Jesus. I'm in Jesus age.
>> Your mom is a rapper here. How did that work? Was she popular? Was she big?
>> She was underground. She was actually underground moving with some stuff.
Gangster [ __ ] Yeah.
>> So your mom is street? She hood?
>> Yeah, she's from the street.
>> Oh [ __ ] That's crazy.
>> Hood. Actually, she was the wife of the first famous white Russian rapper in Russia.
>> But your story is [ __ ] insane. So, you have tattoos and everything. I want to talk about this Putin.
>> Why did you choose to get it?
>> You know, actually, when the war starts, a lot of people say a lot of not really good [ __ ] about Russia or something like that. And I was like showing that I don't give a [ __ ] I was born here. I will just say it loud.
>> You got this as a way to show like, >> bro, I love this [ __ ] I love this [ __ ] I love this [ __ ] Exactly. That's how it's done, man. That's how it's done.
Why you think I got all these portraits of Russia for? Go scroll through my channel if you haven't seen it already.
But why you think I got all these flags and [ __ ] about Russia, man? Bro, I'm talking, bro. You don't even know. You guys don't even see it.
My phone case. Some of y'all have seen my phone case. Phone case. Russian flag.
my wallet.
Russia shirts that I wear. Russia. Like one of my friends look at me and he was like, "God damn." He's like, "You you you repping Russia." I'm like, "Damn straight.
Damn straight." I'm like, "Bro, [ __ ] all that anti-Russian [ __ ] man.
freaking, you know, all like all these like people in America, you know, who are like so afraid to, you know, talk about the fact that they're Russian, openly admit that they're Russian out loud. Nah, man. I I I yo, I'm not even Russian. I have a joke that I always tell people, bro, I'm not even Russian and I'm more patriotic for Russia than most Russian people. And that's probably true.
Oh my god.
A beautiful black boy like myself who has nothing to do with Russia has much more patriotism than most Russians around my age in Gen Z because I noticed that a lot of Gen Z Russians are very they're not like as enthusiastic about Russia. Many of them are, but a lot of them, and that's a a different topic for another time, but still, that's how it's done. Don't don't care, man.
>> It's my message. Yeah, it's my message.
I was uh in the uh he was in Russian army.
>> Oh, you was in the army?
>> Yeah. In Russia, once you reach 18, you're obliged to serve for a year. Only if you go to a college, then you can skip it.
>> Do you have to do that?
>> No, no, this isn't.
>> Okay. It's only for citizens. What was everybody's like thoughts when you got the tattoo?
>> When I got the tattoo, like >> how is he not a citizen?
>> 50,000 of subscribers get off from me like in one hour.
>> Wait, so how did the Russian people react?
>> In Russia, there is a lot of people who doesn't like this [ __ ] like the government and something like that. But actually when I was a little boy, it was a lot of skin heads in Russia. like they black people they when the knife even my mom have his car here they got a knife in the in the chest you know and I >> bro I had like a a [ __ ] uh in my comments on Tik Tok uh who was Ukrainian it's hilarious whenever I see like Ukrainians come in my comments and they think that I like don't know anything about Russia or like used to Europe but like I had a [ __ ] who was Ukrainian tried to like scare me away from Russia cuz he literally looked at me and he he told me about um [ __ ] skin heads.
Like, bro, those guys haven't even been a problem for like god knows how long.
Number one. And number two, um you know, uh yeah, I I'd like to see someone come and try me. Honestly, you know, um really and truly, I'm not even kidding when they say that [ __ ] Like, I I I genuinely just want someone to come and try me and just see what happens to them. Like I said this before, I'll say it again. Um, you know, a lot of people, you know, think traditionally that, oh my gosh, because I'm a [ __ ] pretty boy, I'm a [ __ ] pushover. Um, so because of this [ __ ] I had to develop um very, you know, I I just call it a self-defense mechanism. So, I I really don't really [ __ ] care about Oh my god, my skin heads. Even if they were a problem, I really would not [ __ ] care. I really would not [ __ ] care.
Um, but anyways, I'm not this is not for me to talk about myself. This is just talking about that [ __ ] Ukrainian who really thought that I was that ignorant and I didn't know the context of skin heads. And hilariously enough, the name in on itself, it's it's so funny to me, but whatever.
>> Was 5 years old. And when Putin came, he like uh stopped all of this [ __ ] Yeah.
And that is why I respect this guy, you know.
>> Have you traveled anywhere before? You think people would like react differently if you >> Actually, yes. I think yes. But I don't give a It's my position. And I'm like I'm peaceful enough to don't give.
>> Exactly, man.
>> Would you ever want to travel to the USA?
>> Yes, of course. Because I was raised on rap culture, hip-hop culture, >> African culture, you know.
>> Let me ask too, cuz you got a face tattoo. What was the decision to do that? Like, how old were you when you got your face tattoo?
>> 23. 23.
>> Were you ever worried like, damn, I can't get a job?
>> I wanted to block a way for me to get a simple just a normal job.
>> The person I interviewed in Osaka, Japan, told me the same thing. How many face tattoos do you have?
>> I don't remember.
>> Damn. Oh, yeah. You got some on your forehead.
>> Yeah, my girlfriend had a Uzi on her face.
>> Yeah. When she became my girlfriend, I say, "You will never go to the job. Do this [ __ ] on your face." I wanted to make her an artist and I produced an album for her. I say, "Do this [ __ ] it will be easier for you not to think about normal jobs. One of my biggest >> uh sabotaging yourself so that you can't get a normal job. Is that really what we want to we want to do here.
Now some of you are truly smart.
You might be saying, "But bro, aren't you like super duper pro-Russia? And isn't that going to like stop you from getting jobs?"
That is true. Actually, my extreme pro-Russia position actually has me at risk of not getting jobs, right? This is actually one of the reasons why I literally said that I'm probably going to have to like move to Russia and leave America um because of this. Uh while America doesn't really have much to offer anyways, um most Americans are poor and struggling. This country is very overrated. So, I don't really see I'm like losing out on anything for some of you who's going to be like, "But bro, America is so rich." No, it's not. But anyways, that's a different video. Um, another thing and I'm like I've already thought about this um is like the things that I'm doing right now. Uh, my YouTube channel being one of them. It's like type of stuff where I don't have to physically go in front of a person where the guy like check my background and see like, oh my gosh, who's this guy? He's super duper pro Russia. Another thing is that I'm from Barbados. Barbados is a high income country, a very rich country.
So, you know, one of the reasons why, and this is main reason why I'm still in America, is simply for my education because Barbados recognizes education from America and views it as like the like the highest like above all type [ __ ] um you know like it's a very controversial issue in Barbados actually where you know many people were saying you know people who have like education degrees in America you know they're often chosen more for jobs in Barbados just for the fact that they went to school in America right and people were saying this is unfair right um yeah Barbados does view America as like oh my gosh America is so amazing anything America America. This is so cool. Yes.
Um, it does. Although Barbados does some some pro-Russia aspects kind of to it, but that's for a different video. I'll talk about that there, not here. Um, so I'm like, okay, well, I just got to get an education America and uh I could honestly just go live my days in Barbados, which is a paradise anyways. I mean, it's literally the gem of the car the the Caribbean Sea essentially called that, right?
Good example is um like I said earlier in the video um you know I'm going to become a healthc care assistant soon but that's not my main thing that I'm studying actually I'm not going to say the main thing that I'm studying but the healthcare assistant thing is just like a secondary thing right it's like a secondary um um it's not like my career but it's just like a sec like my main career is what I'm doing in college right now. The healthcare thing is like a secondary option just in case I can't quickly find a job in my main career. Okay, well I still have this second thing that I could go work in the meantime and still get paid pretty good money. Um whilst I'm waiting to, you know, like focus on my main career. But even then, you know, this still this YouTube channel, I still get paid from it. So, you know, I look, point being, guys, is uh yeah, I have a lot of options on my plate. Um, so this is why I'm like so openly pro-Russia. I already weighed my cards and everything. I'm like, okay, well, this wouldn't really be like too damaging for like my my future prospects of jobs really and truly, especially Barbados.
Barbados would not care. Barbados. I could literally like But the reason why I brought up the healthc care um thing is because when I get my healthc care um assistant certification um in America, guess what? Barbados recognizes that, too. So, because Barbados recognizes that, I could just go just get a healthcare assistant job in Barbados, right? Um, but I can't do that in Russia, right? I actually Googled this and no, Russia doesn't really recognize anything from America, like any education or any of that in America. Um, based on what I saw, Russia doesn't recognize any of that. But I was like, me, it's okay.
It's fine. Because, like I said, Barbados is still there. Barbados is like the middle ground for me, right?
Like I could literally get an offshore job in Barbados and just live in Russia, right? Or I don't even need to live in Russia if I really want to. I could just live in Barbados, right? So yeah, it's it's but yeah, it's very interesting my life right now. And then there's still this YouTube channel which is like a side quest that's giving me some income. It's slowly going up. But anyways, >> it's like concerns was coming here was about how strict like cops and stuff are. You being black, you having all these tattoos when it comes to like locals.
They not they're not aggressive at all.
I was famous already. I was just walking through the streets small and two cops come over me and they just wrapped my song and they they did nothing to me.
>> Oh, so cops here [ __ ] with you?
>> Yeah, some sometimes they come like that and they take a photo.
>> In the USA, most rappers hate the cops.
How about out here? Do like people like the cops?
>> I'm just laughing on them. I'm just laughing on them, but I don't hate them.
>> Do you feel like it's easier to make it in the entertainment business in Russia because you're black?
>> No. Not because uh all white people like they are not hating black people but they don't understand us and for them it's difficult to get your culture. It's difficult to because in in USA everyone knows what is it black culture and in Russia it's just in the beginning you know it's just I was the first who gave them like a chance to understand what is it even when you're black it's not as easy.
>> Do they consider you Russian the same way you consider yourself Russian? Not even considered the same way you are. Do they accept you?
>> Yes. After I passed the Russian army, after I do, >> they're like, "Okay, he did everything."
>> It was like, "Oh, he's Russian." And when they heard my music, they understand what I'm talking about. They get my Russian accent and all that. They they get that I'm Russian. Actually, when I went to Africa, it was more difficult to prove them that I'm African than here to prove that I'm Russian.
They say, "Oh, >> yeah. Um, your skin tone, his skin tone, his skin tone is more on the whiter side.
Honestly speaking, >> oh you're white, you're not black because >> Yeah.
When I first saw this guy, I was like, you honestly look more white to be honest.
>> In Africa, like when you have a little piece of white blood, you're white. And in America, when you have a little piece of black, you are black.
>> Yeah, that's so true. That's so true.
Honestly, um Yeah.
>> Never considered that.
>> Yeah.
>> It's cultural norms, right?
like was like saying you're white, you're not black. And yeah, [ __ ] our interviews.
>> So, you know, actually living in Russia, it's not it's not like all time we don't think about politics. We don't give a [ __ ] about all this conflict and something like that, you know, because uh we know that politics is politics and uh war is for some [ __ ] Like, it's not concerning to us. When you see >> Now, here's a problem with this mindset.
I'm going to be quite honest here. Yes, I know a lot of Russians that actually do live with this myself. Oh, politics, politics. No, politics affects you and your life and your daily means of living. Trying to just ignore politics and just like live on like, oh, this has nothing to do with me. You can't do that, right? It's like trying to ignore the fact that um death is going to happen and just living your life like naively or trying to ignore the fact that you need to take care of your health, right? or you're gonna have a very bad means of dying probably, right?
You can't you can't ignore it or you will fall into problems. This is one of the main things that I see a lot of Russians do. I'm just like like I I look at the situation with Ukraine, right? This is a big big example here.
So many Russians don't understand what happened in Ukraine, especially like Gen Z Russians. It's so mindblowing. And it makes sense because many of these people, especially Gen Z Russians, um people around my age, I'm 21. Um if you do not know, um they just did not care about politics.
They're like, "Oh, politics. That doesn't me." Okay, now guess look look what happened when you decided in to ignore politics.
You do not understand what happened within Ukraine.
The fact that a civil war began where the government was illegally overthrown.
And now because of this, you know, I see so many Russian people who are so ignorant. Not all, but so many Russian people that just don't understand and they're just like, "Oh, I don't like what's going on." And they just blindly say like, "I I don't like what's going on in Ukraine, bro. Like, look at me.
I'm I'm I'm a I'm good, man. I'm good. I don't like what's going on." And I just look at them. I'm just like, "Do you like hear yourself? Like, do you even like understand like what you're saying?" Because if you like, if you truly knew what was going on in Ukraine, you would not be saying, "I don't like what Russia is doing in Ukraine." Like, you would not be saying that.
Like people wanted to get mad at the government because of oh my gosh the sanctions the sanctions the sanction the government is doing everything so wrong the government is banning everything but they don't understand the context behind anything at all and they just want to say I don't like what the government is doing. No I understand everything the government is doing but that's for a whole different video. I understand everything the government is doing.
everything. It makes sense what the government is doing. But like I said, that's for a different video.
Damn, I'm like yapping so much. This is what I said, guys. Any video on Russia, anything on Russia, man, it's it's going to be long. Any video on Russia that I do is going to be long because I just love talk about Russia. Anything relating to Russia, I love talking about it. But anyways, >> some people who really thinks about that it's just because maybe they are nothing to think about.
>> Like at this point, I'm just going to warn you. Uh get popcorn or some [ __ ] cuz this video is probably going to be long.
>> Yeah, because normally we're >> get some snacks, dinner, whatever.
>> Just get out and scream that Russia is [ __ ] Russia. Of course, they will act like aggressive onto your side, but normally they don't give a [ __ ] >> They're happy people just chilling, just vibing. Go to the restaurants, go to the clubs, >> have a lot of >> She looks like she's tartar.
>> And after this [ __ ] less.
>> Don't worry, bro. I feel you. The amount of subscribers that I've lost when um I put up when I first put up my Russian flag on my YouTube channel and my portraits of Russia and I showed it on my videos. Yeah, I lost hell of subscribers. or every time I would post a video of being like pro-Russia all the time I would just see my subscriber rate just drop now because the algorithm decided to bless me with a Russian audience um my Russian audience that I have thank God for you guys honestly um has like counter that right so even though I will lose you know quite a bit of people.
Many Russians would just go and subscribe. So on my channel, it doesn't really like hurt me too much.
I'm making up my mind.
>> Could you use >> And before we continue, football and basketball season is back and prize picks is the best place to win cash while watching sports. Why I like prize picks is cuz your favorite team could lose, but you can still win cash on the individual player. The app is really easy to use. All you have to do is pick more or less on a few player stats. Now, prize is a lineup.
>> Play your first $5 lineup. Win or lose with the rest of the video. It's your booty pick.
>> What's one stereotype that's not true about Russia?
>> Is this Batman? What the [ __ ] are they laughing?
>> Wait, speak about the spine. Natasha.
>> Okay.
movies. They have a spy.
>> We do have a lot of I think that's back and forth though cuz y'all have movies with American spies too, right?
>> Yeah. But >> yeah, but it's not the thing.
>> Out of what I heard, there were not a lot of woman spies. So that's just a stereotype because you always get a woman. A woman, she's beautiful. She's Natasha. She can't get the information.
She >> That's a stere I've actually cops.
>> What's another stereotype that's not true?
>> And beers were running on the streets.
>> No joke. I hit him up. I was like, "Yo, maybe a long shot." Do you know where I could wrestle a beer?
>> Russians don't really have a connection with beers like that.
>> Right. Right.
>> It's not a thing.
>> Russians about cats.
>> Bro, >> that's interesting.
>> Outside >> because they all inside a girl I told like, "I like you, but we're not sleeping with no [ __ ] cat in this bed."
>> It cannot be here.
>> From the same place. They cook food and she's like, "You cannot." And you're like, >> "Pause."
>> That's crazy.
>> Look, look. Zoom on me. That's crazy. No pause, >> BRO. NO, BRO. That's crazy.
Bro, I GOT TO TEACH.
>> I GOT to teach Russian pause, bro. This is a cat. This is not me. Let me tell you what.
This is a cat.
>> You're not supposed to do that, though.
>> Uh, should I say something?
I know what I I I I know what what he means. I don't know if I should say.
Okay.
Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.
If y'all don't If y'all don't know, it means that um Okay, we're all grown adults. Okay, before I say this, I I think you should know what I'm about to say. It It means that he's um he's a licking a woman's, you know. Yeah, I'm not going to say that word cuz I I need this video to stay monetized.
>> What the [ __ ] is wrong with you Americans?
>> Americans are so dirty. That's so true.
>> Every one minute.
>> That's so true.
>> Pause, bro. Like men don't bounce.
POUNDS IN RUSSIA.
>> OH, >> NO.

>> I ARRIVED TO Russia 2012. I'm a 32 years Sudanese who lived his first 10 years in Sudan, the second 10 years in Saudi Arabia, then the third 10 years here in Russia.

>> Let's go. Let's go. Let's take a picture.
>> Oh, I love that one though. the one that he's wearing. Holy. Oh my gosh. I need that.
>> That looks so amazing.
>> So, you see this reaction?
>> This is basically the reaction when every time Russian people come to you and you start speaking in Russian.
>> Is it because you guys are so cool?
>> I forgot I had this on my head, bro.
>> Oh my goodness gracious me. So, wait, wait, wait. I just go to Russia. Just go to Russia. Just ask someone.

>> Yep. Yep. Yep. Because of the the Yep.
the big So, how did you end up here in Moscow, >> bro? I mean, like Moscow wasn't even in my list of top 10 options. My uncle, he came to Moscow at 1992. He's my father's favorite brother. He was like, "Yo, make Muhammad come here to study."
>> Why? But why did I choose Moscow?
>> For my father, it was like one of the best options. For a lot of Africans, they see Russia as the white friend.
Yeah, the white friend. For Sudan, Russia is much better than, let's say, USA, United Kingdom. Really?
>> Yep.
>> Hey, >> wait. But why?
>> There's a lot of countries on that side of the world which see America as the number one enemy. Really? So >> it is surprising.
>> Why are you so surprised?
>> It is. It It is. It is.
>> So to us in the States, >> even for Americans, America doesn't even care about its own people, which is madness.
>> The ultimate do not go place. This is like a level four or five do not travel.
Bro, on the website it literally said, "We can't help you if anything goes wrong."
>> What?
>> Yes.
>> That's because of the bad connection between >> Exactly. to places like Mexico, Central America, coming to the US, chasing that American dream. For other countries there, it's like this is chasing that Russian dream.
>> It's not the Russian Russian dream.
Russia is the ally against the colonial powers of Britain, America, France, Europe, Belgium, Germany is the good white friend >> for a lot of African. I don't know why he said so in Africa, Central Africa and Eastern Nigeria as well. Literally give you about Russia >> and sometimes I think it's done >> that reaction of you seeing the name >> I got a 20 word list I can't say and it's funny because you know western propaganda will say oh my gosh look m Russia imperialism Africa Russia is trying to colonize Africa too bro look man like the whole situation of like the whole like Molly thing but I don't even want to talk about that here because I don't want to like yap too I'm scared that if I like yap on a topic, I'm going to like talk too much about it. But yeah, I I see all the time people literally cope and say, "Look, man. You see, look, Russia, Russia, Russia don't care about Africa. Look, look, man.
Russia has ulterior goals in Africa, bro." and they'll like use like the former Wagner group uh as an example now the Africa Core and they'll they'll like say some statistic like but bro look at what the former Wagner now Africa core is doing you know for every one um I don't want to say the word every one terrorist you know four civilians are killed oh my gosh bro clearly Russia just Russia doesn't care about. It's like, bro, >> like, bro, like, bro, like, bro, I can say so much, but I I can say so much. At this point, I'm just going to like just say things that I I always hear over here in the West, but I'm not going to like go too far in there cuz this video is already so long.
Top word on our list because >> you know why Nigerians love Putin?
Because the Brits left Nigeria in shambles and now you have one guy >> resisting NATO, the EU person alone resisting the white colonial powers.
>> Is that weird?
>> No, we just don't have to shout.
>> I like this guy, BRO. I LIKE THIS GUY.
We >> Yeah, it's true. It's like, bro, and when you like, bro, Britain is a slave to America. It's It's so sad. Um, I never really tell anyone this, but this is one of the reasons why I'm like so pro-Russia because it's like it's so sad to see Britain uh just become such a slave to America. People will say, "Oh, but Britain, bro, Britain, Britain, Britain, Britain, Britain, Britain."
Bro, really and truly, Britain doesn't really engage in like that much colonialism anymore. It's just more like wherever America is, Britain is just going to just go and just be dragged along with America.
Britain is basically owned by America, bro.
And it's like it's like ew ew. Brand and America are not allies like people think they are. Like America purposely purposely destroyed the British Empire. America literally during the cold war America literally says straight up we would rather deal with the Soviet Union than deal with the British Empire. Straight up. I'm not even kidding. You could go look this up. America literally admitted we want the Soviet Union as a enemy rather than a British Empire. We don't want them. America just straight up just destroyed the British Empire and then just completely turn Britain into a slave to America.
This is one of That's one of the reasons why I'm so pro Russia cuz it's like I understand why Russia wants nothing to do with America. When you when you actually know the historical context between how America destroyed the British Empire, you that really made me understand Russia's perspective a lot more.
A whole lot more. I always tell people this. I'm like, dude, had America not destroyed the British Empire, Barbados would have never been a independent country. Barbados would have been a British overseas territory today.
Just like how the French Caribbean, they're all they're not countries.
They're all overseas territories of France to this day.
The Dutch Caribbean, too. They're not countries either. They're all overseas territories of the Netherlands. It's only the British Caribbean and the Spanish Caribbean that are overseas that are like different countries pretty much. the Spanish Caribbean. Really and truly, some of it was just given to America.
America was also pretty much the reason why the Spanish Caribbean are is either a part of America or they're all like their own countries today.
So, but but it's like Britain whenever I hear people say, "Oh, but Britain colonial power." I'm like, "Bro, Britain is so weak. Brandon is pathetic. Brandon is pathetic. It's too weak. It's such a slave. Brandon ain't doing all that, man. Brandon is literally just just just just there at that point. Like seriously, it's really and truly France and America that's like the main life like issues really and truly in terms of like colonialism, bro. Like honestly speaking. And it's funny how he says this because Nigeria is a British Commonwealth country to this day. He's still a part of the British Commonwealth. So, >> how to shout them over everything over freedom, bro.
>> Any what?
>> Pretty much, bro. How do I stay safe and get a private jet hole?
>> Out of the entire world right now, Taylor Swift is top 10 >> most famous artist. Artist. If we go walk down the streets of Moscow, >> I'm talking about today.

>> 50% is the poster boy of black people in non black countries. No one knows [ __ ] Ain't no be so real. I I've never really been interested in rap and like hip-hop culture and all of that. I'm like that [ __ ] never really like the music is great but I've never really been like so invested in it. So I'm just like oh okay. I would think so.
>> More Snoop Dog famous. More Snoop Dog than 50 Cent.
>> You know who who is like 50 Cent? Kanye West.
>> I would say Kanye I I would I would think cuz y'all live on the other side of the road. Well, you know, I I would assume cuz I'm sure I'm on the other side of the road to y'all too.
>> Kanye West cuz he has the shoes. Kim Kardashian.
>> When Kanye West married Kim Kardashian, he breached the audiences. He went into the white audiences.
>> He made her famous.
>> He made her famous that there in your country. here in all places. She made him famous.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. Kim Kardashian gives >> Wait, wait. In Russia, they think Kim Kardashian made Kanye famous.
>> Bro, a lot of Russian people a lot of Russian people don't know that she was.
>> You know why? You know why? Cuz Kim Kardashian is Armenian.

Literally like my friend looks at me, he's like, he's like, "Yeah, you definitely uh Russia's number one fan.
>> WE JUST WENT TO DRIVE ME to the airport >> now."
Do you know what's black?
>> What?
>> We as black people, wherever we're from, we are loud. Pay attention to how quiet this bus is.
>> The whole bus is staring at us. We've had a ton of situations of people coming to us like, "Yo, why you shouting?" And we just like, "Yo, Muhammad, that's universally black."
Like Africans from any country, they're lively.
>> They're emotional.

>> 99% >> [ __ ] is filming us right now behind your back. Bro say hi.
>> You want to be in the video?
>> He speaks English. He speaks English.
>> Ask him.
>> You speak English right?
>> Do a lot of people here speak English?
>> The thing is that Russian's education is one of the best in the world. So you have schools like public schools you don't have to pay a dime for where you learn English, French, and German without paying money for that [ __ ] >> In the US high school, you can learn French.
>> Wait, wait, write in the comments how many Americans speak French.
>> Here's what it is. It's not >> Oh my gosh.
>> Yeah, most Americans don't speak a second language because really there really is no incentive to English is the main global language in the world.
Although learning a second language is useful, yes, and you probably should.
It's good for your brain. Um, one of the reasons why I'm learning Russians, you know, cuz studies have shown that, um, languages actually like does um have an effect on your brain. But it's like, yeah, bro. Um, yeah, not many Americans know a second language.
Russian is my second language actually technically third if you consider the dialect that Barbados speaks as a language but I don't know that's a whole debate for another video >> education system we don't really learn about like internationally so on my international as an adult in the last like seven eight years >> if we match a college graduate from America >> with a high school graduate in Russia the high school [ __ ] from Harvard We learn a lot about our history. We learn about with our history. He's still telling me our history.
>> You don't like America, do you?
>> It's not about I don't like the fact American history is so bad. It's really bad. It's literally just pure propaganda. That's not even true. Like propaganda isn't lies. Of course, it's it can be truth as well. I said this before. We all know that I said this, but no, like American light. Uh it's awful. I always always always always hated and I still hate this to this day cuz you know I'm in I'm in college in America but um every single time I'm in like history class in American like school schooling system. I hate it. I I dread it. I've dreaded my soul. I've got into so many arguments with my history teachers because I'm like bro this is BS bro. I'm like, "Bro, this is not like this is not this is no, this is not the the proper history that is actually like true, right?" Um, but anyways, I don't want to talk much about that here.
>> America actually and America teaches history, it's bad.
>> So much too much. I >> still love America.
>> It's too much propaganda.
>> Americans, >> he's like, I hope to go there. Wait.
Okay. I hope to >> That's true.
>> I never dreaming about going to America.
Not today. Not tomorrow. Not tomorrow.
>> Because he comes from the other part of >> Yeah, he he he he he he got the right mindset here. Yeah. Most Americans are very very moronic. Um it's I hate being around them. Uh guys, I live in America right now. I have to deal with them every day. It's God. It's Yeah. from the Saudis, the >> Iraq. Let me ask you a question. This is very important, right? Tyla, I remember when she came to the US had like got in trouble cuz she said she wasn't black.
Cuz in South Africa, if you're mixed, you're uh colored, right? Does that same rule apply to like over here?
>> So like Yeah. Yes, we have it here.
>> So like if someone's mixed, they don't consider them black.
>> They don't consider the black.
>> No, but how about to others? Like what do they consider?
>> No, they're just colors. South Africa again, British Commonwealth country.
This is just British customs really and truly. It's just like you're just colored.
>> Black population in Russia. What you have is immigrants in Russia.
>> But that's different for you though cuz you're born and raised here.
>> I'm one in a million, bro. Like your family, they've been in America like seven generations, eight generations, 12 the transatlantic, let's take the UK.
Yes. They have like three generations, four generations more than I don't think that we ever get to that point in Russia. Most black people in Russia, for them, Russia is like a place you live here, you work here, and then you move.
You remember in a car when I was saying that Russia is a white country. That's what I meant. This can be like minimum the second house. But this place can never be our first house. Never. As I told you 10 years Sudan, 10 years Saudi Arabia. I have like three different homes. Home is where my mom is. If I bring my mom to Russia, I'll stay with her in Russia.
>> Damn.
>> [ __ ] look mad to me. But >> what about it is like making it not feel like home.
>> Was he like talking about those girls?
What the [ __ ] What the hell? Oh, that's kind of rude.
That's kind of rude.
The way how he was talking about those girls. Guys, here's the thing, right?
Um, so people whenever they like see my shirt that says I love like Russian women, right?
Uh people usually think that there's a sexual meaning behind it. Not really. In fact, actually, all my friends know that um I really hate it whenever I see like Russian women be sexualized and it actually pisses me off a lot. Like I don't do that [ __ ] Like seriously. Um no, more like I respect Russian women.
Okay. Like I said, I'm a pretty boy, 6'3, 190 cm in European numbers. And just in my experience, damn with women cuz yeah, even though I've never kissed a girl in my life, I still had like interactions with women, a lot of talking stages that went nowhere, of course. Um, but just in my experience, I just realized that honestly like Russian women just really and truly just tend to be the best. And guys, I've dealt with a lot of like different kinds of women. I And I'm just like, yo, I just like Russian women more for their personalities. Their personalities, I usually just resonate with their personalities a lot more compared to um other women that I've dealt with. and combine the fact that I'm a big Russian fanboy anyways, you know, I just, you know, lean more towards that. But, you know, I really hate it whenever um people like sexualize Russian women. It really pisses me off. I just don't show it or like a good example is whenever people um look at me and you know, they say, you know, they hear that I have a preference really and truly for Russian women. Guys, I have rejected a lot of girls. Seriously, I'm not even kidding.
I have straight up just turned down rejected so many girls just for the simple fact that they weren't Russian.
Like, I straight up would like tell these girls like, you know, you're very beautiful, you're very pretty, but you're not Russian, so I don't care about you. I Bro, all my friends know this [ __ ] my guy.
Like, all my friends know this [ __ ] But anyways, and my family, too. Um, but whenever I like people would meet me first and like they hear this fact about me like my strong preference for Russian women and they usually bring up something sexual.
It really offends me and it really pisses me off.
Like even like thinking about it now, um it it it really just um it's it's just the thought of it just leans me the wrong way, honestly speaking.
Um but it's like no, no, dude. like no.
Really and truly, um, as someone who's in a position where he attracts women and he doesn't really have to go after women, and I'm not saying this a brag, uh, women sexualize me more than I sexualize them. And let me tell you guys, cuz a lot of men don't understand this, that's not cute. That's not cute.
That's not cute. When a girl doesn't give a [ __ ] about you, doesn't care about your personality or anything about you at all, she just, you know, just want to [ __ ] you.
That's not cute. That is not cute, bro.
You might think, "Oh, no, it's not." The reason why you probably think it's cute is you probably just haven't been in that position where, you know, you have a lot that you want to talk about. you have a lot of cool things, a lot of cool stories, but they don't give a [ __ ] about hearing any of that. They're just only interested in just [ __ ] you. And I just have to be real here for a second. We're all grown adults here. But seriously, this is the main reason why I've never kissed a girl in my life because all like literally 99% of these women um they don't they just uh they just see me, you know? They see me, they see my looks, they see my face, and they just want to [ __ ] me.
And it's like, ew, no.
It's like there's more to me than just that. I'm not going to degrade myself like that. No.
So, no. Really and truly, as someone who's in a position like that, it's like, you know, I'm looking for sincerity, right? I'm looking for something sincere.
So, whenever these people look at me and think that, oh, I like Russian women because I see them in a sexual light.
No, I don't because I know how annoying that [ __ ] is when people view you in a sexual light and nothing more than just a sexual thing objectifying you, dehumanizing you. I' I've dealt with this [ __ ] before. You know, this is one of the reasons why I don't even like you. You see my hair that I have like so many people look at me and they tell me, "Why don't you cut your hair off? Why don't you Why don't you like like, you know, get a buzz cut, right? People People always say, "Get a buzz cut, dude. You would look so much better." And I know I would look so much better, but it's like, dude, I don't want to deal with with all of these women just just looking at me for my looks and that's it. That's one of the reasons why I just don't really do anything with my hair. I just don't want all that bad attention from that.
Just being like quite real here. This is why I always tell people it's like, "Dude, is is is either um I get a Russian wife or I'm most likely going to [ __ ] die alone because I don't even know if I want to get married to be honest." It's like, if I don't find a Russian wife, I'm genuinely just going to probably just stay by myself. Quite honest.
Now, if I had to be quite honest with you, there's nothing wrong with wanting sex. really and truly there's nothing wrong with that. But when you put person like when you put that as like your whole personality, your whole driving force, it's like ew ew.
It's like ew no my guy.
is like I always tell people if I can't [ __ ] with you, like if I can't vibe with you, if I can't get along with you, if I can't do all of that, bro, then I'm not [ __ ] you. And a lot of women don't seem to understand this in the past. I'm not talking about women who watch my videos. I'm talking about women who have encountered me, right? They just see me and they just think I'm just going to go and just like, yeah, go down that path.
But whatever to you look around people are going to see.
>> It's not only this. I mean like anytime look it's been 12 years. I can't be walking in the center of the city and some people going to make me feel like why did you come to our place and what are you doing? Take your thing and leave. Russia gives me a lot. I love Russia and Sams knows this. I really love this country for many many different reason but for me it's not my house yet.
>> It's going to be my house.
>> Harder breaking into the comedy scene as a black woman here in Russia?
>> No, I don't think so. Maybe it helps me in the beginning.
>> Mhm. Oh, it helped.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> You like stand out in a way?
>> Yes. And they don't know nothing about our lives.
>> Is your subject matter? Are you mostly discussing like black issues or something? like black jokes, >> few black jokes in the beginning and about my experience like woman.
>> I never would have expected a like a woman in comedy in Russia furthermore black. I thought that was so interesting especially as a career path here. So does Russia have a big comedy scene?
>> You know it's new maybe for 20 years now they say like standup comedia is a new rep.
>> What's a popular like Russian drink?
Yeah. Vodka. God damn. Why is vodka so popular?
>> I don't know. You can make >> Why is it? So >> I don't drink tequila here, right?
>> No, girls drink tequila. I was watching this.
Okay. We want have two infusions with fresh cranberry or fresh cherry. Okay.
>> I speak Russian, bro.
>> Cheers.
>> Cheers.
>> It's good. It tastes good. It tastes like a small mixed drink. So how did you end up in Russia?
>> How my parents was students in Soviet Union.
>> What country?
>> Guinea Bisau.
>> Okay. Guinea.
>> West Africa.
>> So now my mom work in embassy.
>> She works in a guinea bis embassy >> here. Yeah.
>> In Russia. She just came as a student and she liked it a lot. Did your dad come here the same time?
>> My dad was here before my mom.
>> They already knew each other.
>> They met here.
>> Oh. So they just must liked it. They was like, "Oh, this is fire. Let's just stay here."
>> Duh. Does most people who travel here for school, do they end up liking Russian?
>> Yeah, of course. Of course. I was in Kabisau like in September and my relatives who was students here, they know the language till now.
>> Do you think a lot of mixed people here embrace their >> blackness?
>> Their blackness. Yeah.
>> Oh, no. I feel sorry for them because I think this is a journey and most of them they don't feel like they're black.
>> Do you feel like there is a lot of black people here?
>> [ __ ] Um, I'm mixed.
I'm mixed. I'm predominantly African descent. So, I'm just like, yeah, I'm mostly black, but my European genes are so prevalent in me still. Regardless, that's going to be interesting for my kids.
That's going to be very interesting for my children because if like I will get children and they will be Russian children. They 100% will be Russian children. What?
100,000%.
So I don't know how they're going to come out though.
It's either they're going to be white or mostly white because my father had a um I have a halfsister, right? My father though, he's 25% European though. That's the thing. Um, but he went he got my halfsister from a white lady and that girl is white. Like white. Like you would not believe that this girl had a father that was colored, right?
So, you know, you know, I look at that, I'm like, is that going to like going to be like the same with me? Because like like I said, like the genes on my father's side of my family. It's very dominant, very prevalent, right? So, I'm like, and I said it's like my European genes are pretty dominant and I'm pretty sure my Y chromosome is from Europe. So, I'm like, hold on a second. So let's say I don't know you know I I I you know I you know um you know you know I do that with someone with some Russian girl or something and she gets children I'm like how are they going to come out right now? Like I said we're all we're all grown adults here. So really and truly I don't think talking about this should be making anyone uncomfortable. But seriously though um I don't know. That's interesting cuz I always wonder. I'm like, "Okay, well, I'm such a big Russia fanboy, but how are my kids going to feel about um being in Russia as as children of mixed descent?
I can't tell. It's It's either going to be It's either going to be one of those two things. cuz they're going to either come out like pretty white that it won't really matter or they're going to come out predominantly white definitely, but they're going to have like black features, right? And it's like how is that going to I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Like no, I do want my children to be uh born and raised in Russia though. Like they'll be like born and raised in Russia, but they'll also be, you know, Barbados is going to be like their home too. But I want them to be mostly raised in Russia. Like I want Russian babies. Like I do I need Russian babies.
>> But it goes back to that problem where a lot of them don't embrace it.
>> Mhm. But I have my friends. They're black. We friends not because we're black.
>> Right. Right. Right. But I feel like that's common though. Even in the US, if you're Hispanic, then you're naturally going to also want to be around people who have your same black life experiences.
>> I always like the idea of sisterhood, you know?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever feel like it's missing here, Russia? Like sisterhood?
>> Yeah.
>> Do you have a lot of black girlfriends here? M not a lot but yeah two I'm glad but I want us to be like big girls night you know like making braids each other I feel like I don't have enough >> what do you think it'll need to take for there to be more I guess black lemonator too >> there are a bunch of black people here but Russia is too big so we just like >> yeah not all location >> see now we did opposite this was good >> this is my Does that happen a lot when you walk out in public, you get recognized >> sometimes?
>> Are you like used to it now?
>> I'm shy, but >> parents of children.
>> How are you shy if you're a stand-up comedian? Being a stand-up comedian, that's probably one of the most bravest things to do.
>> Yes, but when I'm in a show, I am more >> How long has this video been going on for?
>> I can I can do it. But >> God, Eli, I have been talking so much, y'all. brave you have to be like a lot of people don't have the gun.
>> Yeah, this is my other side.
>> If you're a naturally shy person, how do you like lock into that?
>> I'm a shy like a person. I feel like I have some masks when I'm a comedian.
Bella and Bella like home girl. This is two different Bella.
>> YW Melly versus Melvin. The comedy you and the real life you two people confident. She can tell her [ __ ] out.
It's okay.
One of the things I heard about coming here, it's not really possible to be an entrepreneur here or to get rich if you're like a business owner or whatever. Your funds are like controlled by the government and there's no real entrepreneurs.
>> I've heard of this too.
>> The most Maybacks I've ever seen in my life. I see the most nice cars I've ever seen. So, I know people getting money, but is it actually possible to be an entrepreneur? Is it actually possible to get rich? One of the best things about Russia is that Russia is a developing country. So you have a lot of opportunities to make money. It's quite easy for you to find a venture to make money. A venture to get big. Let's say you have a business and let's say after the business profits for the year it profits a flat. Bro, as someone from a foreign country, two foreign countries, I'm not even going to lie, I've actually had like I was thinking about this [ __ ] and I was like, you know, if I like live in Russia, right, I could genuinely like bring [ __ ] like I I had ideas, just ideas, but I was just like, honestly, the amount of stuff that I could probably bring from the Caribbean to Russia and make a lot of businesses out of that, like a lot of like ideas from that or like America. I was like there that that that that seemed interesting really and truly >> even 1 million USD.
>> Let's say you're the only owner or whatever. How much of that do you get to keep after profits?
>> It's not hard to make it in Russia. It's hard to keep it. As soon as you get big, you become a like global company.
Company that has to do with national interest. A company that has let's say tens of millions of Russians using their services. But is it your but like >> it's yours. But when you reach that level, the government is like knock knock knock. We want the data. We want parts of the money.
>> It has some truth to it, but it's not full truth to it.
>> There's some truth to it.
>> So So like it's like you're able to be entrepreneur, but once you get too rich, then now it's like you have no choice but to give us some of your wealth. Is there a certain number you think that like you have to hit before?
>> This is a good thing.
big tech companies that get too big, they control America. This is probably the main reason why America is awful because of companies that basically run the country that only care about profit, don't care about the people.
So like it sounds like a bad, oh my, the government is going to come in, but no, like America is so dominated by companies like big tech companies, man.
They they control everything now.
Everything basically revolves around what they want, not what the people want. The people are just products to just make them get richer.
>> For the government starting inside your pocket, >> you know that there's Amazon.
>> I will probably talk more about this in another video, but this video is very long.
>> Yeah. So, in Russia, we have wildberries. That's something like Russian Amazon. There was a company selling goods and they became the biggest company in Russia. What does that mean? Money, access, and >> info. And they was like, "Yo, we need some of that." So, knock.
>> Was it known how much percentage of that was taken?
>> No, you never find out. You just say that, "Yo, the owner of this bank sold it to the government."
>> And it was one of the things it's like, "No, you ain't got a choice."
>> You pay or lay down, >> right?
>> So, it's not hard to get it in Russia.
Not keeping it.
>> Like, Russia is like a police state.
>> Police state, right?
>> Moscow is the safest city in Europe.
Here, every time I go, safer than the US, >> but every time I go somewhere, everybody be like, "This is the safest city in the world." In Moscow, at any time of the day, any spot in the city, you can just be walking around throwing out money. No one will get >> There's a lot of stairs here, though.
Sometimes it's like, "Oh, this person's fresh. Let me come take a picture with you." But I started to notice it's the same cadence of smile, same cadence of laugh, same approach >> every couple seconds, >> same questions, same the same phrase over and over.
>> I want to take a photo.
>> Yeah. And then they go away laughing.
>> That's one of the bad sides of black experience in Russia. You never feel human. You're always a toy. You was telling me there's a game.
>> Guys, when I go to Russia, when I go to Russia, the thing with me is Russia is cold. Now, yes, there's some parts that are, you know, you know, in certain seasons where it's hot. Yes. But the is the UV radiation in Russia?
Obviously, I live in the worst UV radiation spot in the entire country of the US, aka Florida.
Bro, this has happened with every single person who is Creole that I've known from the Caribbean. They come here to Florida, they get super black.
They move to like New York, which is traditionally cold. Their skin just all that blackness is just gone, right? All that blackness is gone. They look more like yellow. They're like glowing.
That's going to happen to me when I go to Russia.
So, I'm like kind of curious to see. And if you're kind of curious, too, like I said, you can just go on my videos. Um, just scroll through my videos. You'll see like my bright like yellow, you know, light skin, you know, cuz sometimes it comes out, right? it it it tries to come out but it can't because again UV radiation is so bad that it's constantly like you know dark right but you know I'm like well when I'm in Russia you know my body won't have a reason to keep itself black all the time cuz again this is just protecting me from the UV radiation so I'm like is this going to be is this going to happen to me I mean or not I don't know you guys could go tell them in the comments >> that people play but what you be here.
Like really and truly when I'm in Russia, I'm going to be so much more lighter.
>> It's a group of three kids. Yeah. And they see a black guy approaching them.
The guy that notices the black guy first knocks his friend on the shoulder and he wins the game. Sometimes it be a group of seven kids and one guy just 1 2 3 4.
>> Oh [ __ ] >> bro.
>> Do you ever get offended from that?
>> Nah, >> bro. We are gods.
>> We are gods. And when you're black in Russia, you really feel it. You really feel the power of black presence because anywhere I go room full of celebrities even policemen I feel that I have I don't want to say like an advantage but some kind of influence on them. I don't know why is it maybe because black culture is so influential maybe because it's just works on the contrast. I don't know but >> imagine being a >> I feel the highest >> bro.
It reminds me of So my friend um I had a mate from Russia and I was like so what do Russians think about like black people? He was like he was like I don't know if it's true but he was actually Russian. So he was like they all think that black men all have big big bananas. Let's just say that in between your legs. And I'm like, are you for real? He's like, yes. He's like, they all think so. I'm like, [ __ ] bro.
I'm like, there's no way. There's no way. Like, he was like, yes, they think that every single black man has a big banana in between his legs.
Look, that's not true, guys.
That's not true.
That's not true. That's not I I don't know how many people believe that. But before I continue, okay, we are all grown adults here, okay? We are all grown adults here, people. Let me say this again. We're all grown adults here.
We're mature. But me personally, me personally, okay, I will say that that stereotype is true for me. You I'm I'm just saying.
But that does not mean that everybody else got that. Like for me, it's true.
Me personally, you don't got to believe it, but you know, I'm twice the average size. Okay? Like, my banana is twice the average size.
Quite literally, 10.1 in. Okay? That's the exact measurement. 10.1 in. Okay, that's literally double the average size. Only 0.5% of men have a banana that length. Okay. If you don't know inches because you guys are European, just convert 10.1 inches into, you know, your uh European measurements that you use. And well, yeah, I think 10.1 in is like 27 cm or some [ __ ] I don't know. I don't know how much that 10.1 in centimeters. I don't know.
But even that's rare. That's so that's like ridiculously rare. Like most black men not they're not like that. Now some of y'all probably don't believe me.
You know it sounds unbelievable. Um but [ __ ] you don't got to believe me. Someone's eventually going to have to see it one day. [ __ ] Some Russian girl is going to see it one day.
>> So I actually still feel y'all. Do y'all consider Russia home?
Oh my god. I had to say that joke. I had to say that joke, guys. I had to >> forgive my humor.
>> Russia as a home. It could be a place that I would like to stay, but it would never be the home.
>> But remember what I said.
>> Remember what I said earlier in the video. Okay. I don't like to sexualize Russian women. But I just had to make that joke.
>> Time you can hear it anywhere in Moscow.
Yo, go back to your place. That's the thing that make you feel. Yo, >> it's like they constantly like remind you that you're an outsider.
>> Yeah, of course. I was talking to Belle about this some time ago. We just immigrate in Russia. Yeah, we've been living here. We're doing a lot of things. People like us and everything, but at the end we came here.
>> For example, for me, I I consider like >> honestly it's the hair. It's his hair.
>> I don't stay in a place. So, I'm always >> If he changed his hair, he would not >> I came here when I was 16. I didn't know [ __ ] So, that's right. That's right.
>> Russia sort of shaped me to this person that you see. But that's what I mean.
>> That's so [ __ ] real, bro. Like you see the type of person that I am, bro.
Like I didn't even like go to Russia yet. And like Russia, you have no idea how much of an impact Russia has had on me. Like seriously, >> I'm the patriotic of this country. But that's not changing the fact that I still cannot say that Russia is my home.
>> So for me, it's the opposite. I cannot say Nigeria is my home cuz if I went back to Nigeria tomorrow, I would be lost. Like that's how that's how bad it is.
>> I do want to talk about some positive.
What is your favorite things about living in Russia? I think it's it's really safe. And number two is transportation. Like the metro is super clean. There's never any delays with anything. Like you get on a train, bro, you get to where you're trying to go.
>> This is why I was saying like I cannot praise Russia without [ __ ] on my confidence.
>> Oh my god. You don't >> just listen. Let me get out. In my personal experience, all of the [ __ ] up experiences that I've had in Russia hasn't been from Russians.
>> I had a bad experience, a lot of bad experience of Russian. Like Bella has been in the standup world for like 5 years, right? She has been top for the last 3 years and Bella has a show of her own that she invented, came up to the company like, "Yo, let's try this out."
Despite the fact that she's been hot just for 2 years, they like the idea and now the show is out.
>> There's no stumbling block. You don't have to know someone there to help you do something. If you have a nice idea, it will make money. Let's try it.
Russians try [ __ ] >> to put a wrap on everything. What is something that y'all want to share to the world about being black in Russia?
Where I'm from, a lot of people don't know y'all exist.
>> I would say number one, there definitely is sort of like a black community going on, but it's not integrated into the Russian society and that's why y'all don't know >> that blacks exist in Russia.
>> You came, you saw, and you got surrounded by a lot of black people who do a lot of things here. We would like to share this with the other African and black from the other side.
>> We here like >> I met a Russian Barbadian before. Fun fact.
>> Well, I didn't meet them, but I like saw them. They were Barbadian mixed with Russian. That's the only time I've ever seen someone from my country be mixed with Russian. Like only ever time.
>> You're very welcome here. Yo, >> but what can you say about your experience?
>> My experience >> as a black woman, >> bro. She's famous. She's making money. I think she's >> like ups and down for her. It's more than like a message to them. There's a black woman in Russia and I exist and I'm a famous black woman in Russia, African.
Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that.
>> Sometimes it's difficult, but if I can make it, >> if we made it in Russia, >> we could make it. You can make it anywhere. That's the main point.
Remember when we were talking, I was like, yo, for a black person to be born and raised, to stay here for 20 years, to have a family, it has to be something bizarre.
>> So, we are like a testimony to the fact that if a black person could make it in Russia, you can make it anywhere.
Hey yo with the crouching at 7 now. Hey, >> don't fall from the touch with the crowdpping at 7.
>> That was fun. That was fun. I hope you guys enjoyed that. Yeah. Uh, members week is going to begin for the next two weeks. So, I had I had to drop these videos in Russia. If you made it all the way here, you made it all the way to the end of the video, definitely subscribe.
