I regret living abroad because I left my mom behind and she died while I was away – Emmy Collins

Season 7, Ep. 37

Some people carried too much truth for the world to hold at the time.

Too bold. Too different. Too honest.

Emmy Collins was one of them.


If you’re Gen Z, you may not know him.

But there was a time he lit up Nigeria’s fashion scene, not just with colour but with conviction.


In this conversation, he talks about leaving Nigeria in 2014, calling out public figures, and what he’s learned since.

That even when you don’t mean to hurt, words can still cut.


He talks masculinity, fashion, sexuality and why denying the labels people throw at him would make him a hypocrite.


He tells us about love,regret, fatherhood, and becoming a quieter, fuller version of himself.


Raw. Unfiltered. Vulnerable.

This is Emmy Collins like you’ve never seen before.
