The rapper was inspired to work with a South African company, sharing that he is dedicated to challenging the status quo and empowering South Africans in the process. He also shared that the commonality between himself and AG Mobile contributed to the company’s openness to creating AG#Hashtag around his brand.
“If it were any other cellphone company, would they make a cellphone around me? I don’t think so.”
He also shared his thoughts on branching out of music into other aspects of business…
“If you have the brain to dabble with anything else that will grow your brand, go with it,” advises Nyovest. “As long as you take yourself seriously as a brand. Stay true to who you are. If you want to make music and stay in studio, that’s cool too.”
