About This Podcast
I Said What I Said is one of Africa’s biggest podcasts, hosted by friends Jola (Jollz) and Feyikemi (FK) Abudu, who have been saying the quiet parts out loud since 2017.
Each week, they unpack pop culture, careers, money, dating, family and the many confusions of modern adulthood with brutal honesty, big laughs, and zero pretending.
Come for the banter.
Stay for the hot takes, hard truths, and the comfort of knowing somebody else is also figuring life out.
Season 8 Begins this February.
