Video summary
Michelle and Keny are content creators who met as university classmates studying mass communication before becoming close neighbors in their shared accommodation. Their relationship quickly evolved from a standard friendship into something deeper that they describe not just as being friends, but rather as sisters off key. Michelle first noticed Keny's fashion-forward style and boss-like energy during her freshman year, while Keny admired Michelle's cool demeanor and the impressive interviews she conducted back in school despite initially appearing somewhat closed-off to outsiders.
The bond between them is characterized by a unique dynamic where they view each other as family rather than just friends, which allows for a level of comfort that transcends typical platonic relationships. They share similar dramatic personalities and often make animated sounds together when reacting to situations or arguments. A significant moment in their history occurred during Keny's internship far away from home; Michelle generously offered her house for three months without hesitation, treating Keny like family with open arms. This act of kindness solidified their connection, leading them to jokingly refer to themselves as residents within each other's families and creating a safe space where they can be completely authentic without fear of judgment.
Their interactions are filled with inside jokes, shared memories ranging from teenage heartbreaks to singing national anthems randomly at gatherings, and mutual admiration for one another's strengths. Michelle often acts as the "big sister" figure who provides wise advice when Keny feels down or confused about life choices, while Keny appreciates how Michelle motivates her to pursue goals with confidence. Even though they may go weeks without texting each other daily due to their busy schedules and different locations, their connection remains unbreakable because of their deep similarities in personality and values that make them feel like two halves of a whole unit rather than just acquaintances who happen to know each other well.

She like she had this whole audience.
She had all these interviews that she
was doing back in [music] school and I
thought it was really cool. And then but

situation cuz we're both dramatic that
we both make like different sounds.
>> Animated sounds. Yeah. Like we can be
like [laughter]
>> we make the same sounds.
>> I thought we're both dramatic, but I
feel like in maybe in certain in most
situations I'll probably say [music]
I probably I don't know actually say me.
Hm. Maybe maybe I feel like me.
>> I feel like I feel like it it's
dependent on where we are and what we
are what's like we [music] are doing.
>> I feel like when it comes to like maybe
like argument kind of dramatic. This be
me. But when it comes to like [music]
random rubbish [laughter] this one. So
yeah, it just depends. I dramatic.
[laughter]
>> I'll take it. No problem.
[music]
>> All righty. A song that trended when you
were in secondary/ high school
[laughter]
with
juju
now sl
[laughter]
okay it's my turn um a hip-hop song from
the 20 2000s um
it's me and you now I've been waiting
They got to make a move now. Baby, tell
me this. Cassie Cassie Cass me. Yeah.
Now. Oh, no. No. No. When? Drop it like
it's hot. Drop it like it's hot. Yeah.
That's fine. Yeah.
[music]
[laughter] Okay. This is my first
question. I admire Michelle's drive.
[music]
She no matter like what she's going
through, she has a go and she goes for
it. Like even when she's tired. And I
feel like Michelle [music] has this
energy that when you're with her, you
feel motivated. Sorry, this way. Yeah.
When you're with Michelle, you feel
motivated. You [music] feel like going
for what you want to get. And I really
admire that. I like I like Michelle a
lot. I stay in the house every day
[laughter] because I just need that
especially as a content creator, you
need that motivation. You need someone
that just drives you to keep [music]
going. And that's Michelle.
Yeah. So cute. Okay. So, um what what
inspires me? What inspire what I admire
about? Um, she just has that very
big sister vibe or energy and she's not
even the older sister, she's the middle
child, so very relevant, [laughter]
but she has that older sister energy.
Like whenever like I [music] feel really
down, she always knows what to say at
the right time. So like she's always the
one I come to for advice or like I come
to like just to rant about something and
she just says the right thing. Like you
know how somebody, you know how like
everybody needs that, you [music] know,
person that just says the right thing at
the right time. That's chem literally.
So like I just always go to have like
whenever if I'm sad, whenever I'm angry,
whenever I'm not in the mood, like she
just says right thing and yeah like just
that big sister energy cuz I'm the
oldest. I don't have a big sister. So
this is my unofficial big sister I
guess.
>> Yeah, they have adopted me in their
family. I'm part of your residence.
[laughter]

low key low key have anger issues. So I
get like angry.
>> No no she used to she does not have it

the most trouble [music] because you are
very adventurous. Like you can be like,

>> Can I say this? [laughter]
>> Okay.
Can I say this?
>> Is this something that you can just say?
Don't let me do
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me let me say let
me say mine. So I feel like when when
this particular memory here like it
sticks with me with like both of us for
like a very [music] long time. So it was
one time in school in you know in school
I was I [laughter] I was going through
something here like I I
okay so I liked different people at
[music] the same time two people and I
couldn't pick who I liked more. So I was
literally like I didn't know what to do
and I had the upbringing and I was
crying to chem like I was like I don't
know what to do. I don't know why like
what and like she really spoke to me
like you should just think about it like
she she really spoke to me like I should
think about it you [music] know
obviously like someone more than that
and it was that made me stuck to me like
for the rest of my life I'm so sorry
this was like in year two
>> year two or year three so like I was
just I just had a breakdown for no
reason I was just crying and crying I
just kept like she was there with me the
whole night like just really comfortably
so yeah that made me like really stuck
with me but yeah very random
>> um I think [music] I think the memory
like the first thing that came to my
head when I heard the question was year
three when we're doing our internship.
Was it year three? And I asked [music]
Mich cuz that time I live really far
away. I live I live in the middle of
nowhere and they posted me to somewhere
in [music] VI. So I asked Michelle I was
like and I was like so scared like I
don't know. I've never said Michelle can
I stay at your place and it was a very
big ask cuz [music] it was for like 3
months I think and she was like ah sure
it's not a big deal. And I I literally
stayed in Michelle's house for 3 months.
Her driver used to take both of us to
work. her dad, her mom, everybody was so
receptive of me and they literally like
[music] accepted me as their family and
I feel like that was I've never
experienced something like that and I
don't think I will ever forget something
like that [laughter] and since then
[music] I've become an resident saying
[laughter]
that's our name now that's what we call
ourselves [laughter]
a song by a genz artist. [music]
Hey God,
give me that one. I think you're the one
that help. Okay. Um, a song by a female
[music] artist.
>> You know who you're going to sing.
>> Hello,
it's me. I think this guys that's better
against my [laughter]
[laughter]
debate
in the grand scheme of life [laughter]
a video money is meant to be spent.
Kevin always has new shoes, new bags,
new clothes and she eating ice
[laughter] cream cake like different
different sweet stuff. Kevin
100% like that is the answer.
>> You you just have to put yourself first,
you know.
>> Yeah.
>> Should I go ahead?
>> A song with the word bad cuz baby now we
got better. You know it used to
[singing] be better. And take a look
what you've done. And baby now WE GOT
BETTER.
>> [laughter]
>> I WANT TO GO OUT. A song with the word
want. I
[music]
know.
>> I don't even know the song. I don't know
the song.
>> I don't know. But I want I [music] don't
know. Ah.
It's kind of deep though. Uh I feel like
me personally I'll miss I'll miss
[music] like having that comfort person
if that makes sense. Cuz like
recently there's been like a lot of
moments where I just feel really down
and I'm always like I'm always thinking
oh my go back and like I just think
[music]
I can just call her stay on the call for
a while. So I would miss having that
person [music] to like you know be be
like be myself around and not be like
afraid to say [music] some things like
I'm going through stuff like that. So
yeah that's my comfort to be very
honest.
>> Yeah I think
like this question but um I think I
think the thing I will miss [music] most
is that safe space. I feel like Michelle
is like a safe space for me. She's like
she's like a room that you enter and
it's just like wow so many colors.
>> And I always I tell her this a lot.
[music] I always said that Michelle, you
know that you're a star and you actually
have a light that surrounds you and you
are going to be [music] big and you're
going to be do you understand? Cuz
Michelle makes you feel motivated. She
makes you feel like I can actually do
something. [music] I can actually like
become something and I feel like it's
like a light. I don't want that light to
go down this.
>> Yeah.
Okay. Um
a movie soundtrack.
Yeah.
ICS. [music]
Ah,
>> there was a song that sing.
>> Oh, I don't know the song again.
[laughter] There's something for me to
sing.
>> Titanic. [music]
>> Yes. Yeah.
>> An African song from the '9s. Hey, why
you say ' 90s? 199 something
tell me now my [laughter] body
[screaming] not a song it's a song
>> ah your mother could be LGBTQ
>> from the '9s
>> when you say [music] '90s like
>> it's not a song from the ' 90s
>> no but that song
>> but do you know
what you have come to the room to do hey
yeah [music]
it was me I got shot
>> [laughter]
>> Michelle [music]
>> me for sure. I don't have I have a
survivorship of of an ant [laughter]
not come here like you can see even when
we came here today it was Michelle that
directed I don't I do not know my way I
don't know my way back [laughter]
>> I'm the one that like in our handles
everything like when we're booking the
Uber direction you know when we're
paying when [music] you know like forget
to get food like I'm the one hand is the
technical I'm the emotional we have our
rules okay I get that I get that push up
[music] Yeah,
>> that's right.
[music]
>> It do is [clears throat] a det by two
Africans.
>> Um, hey
Yes. Yes. She got she got
>> Okay, my turn. Oh god. [laughter]
The national anthem. Nigeria
we
went to camp. I said my [laughter]
country.
>> Do you remember when I used to randomly
sing national?
>> She used to always randomly sing
national anthem like randomly like this.
I I love my country. [music]
>> Really?
>> I know. Yes. Yes. Yes. I love my
country. Please.
[music]
>> I don't know.
>> I know. Let me answer. I think that it's
because I and Michelle see we don't see
each other as friends. We [music] see
each other as an asistance. Like, and it
sounds like I'm joking, but genuinely, I
don't see Michelle as someone as my
friend. I see [music] as my sister. So
even when we have like our arguments,
even when we have our petty fights, like
I would settle with her the same way
I've set myself you know you don't have
sex. I don't she say okay [music] but
you said you you understand and I get
that.
>> Yeah. So I think I think the moment you
pass that stage where you don't see
yourself as friends anymore you see
yourself as relatives like my sister
>> you guys be friends forever.
>> I feel like another [music] thing is we
we're very similar like we don't need to
like [music] text each other like every
single day.
>> Yes. Oh my god. You want to see that?
cuz we're not like that at all. Like we
can go like even a month without texting
but like when we see each other like
>> Yeah. So like we're very similar so
we're just the same and we [music]
always sing like when we talking like
>> so I think I think we are extremely
similar. We are so different that it
makes us similar and [music] yeah it
works.
>> Yeah.
>> So even if like we're really far past
like different countries we still have
that connection.
>> Yeah.
[snorts]
>> Okay. Okay. Let me think. Okay. Um, it's
a no rhyme. [music]
Twinkle, twinkle, little but to cut you
short, when when they say no, would you
mind firstly go to Mary?
>> How I wonder what you are. That is up
above the world so high like a diamond
in the sky.
>> This this tells me a lot about you.
You song go shorty it's your birthday.
We go party like it's your we go party
like it's your birthday cuz you know we
don't give a it's not your
birthday. Okay. Period. I always sing
that's in my birthday.
>> Ah sorry guys. We're very respectful
people. We don't swear.
No.
>> No.
>> I love you because
you are not my [music] friend. You're my
sister. You're my family. You are you
are you are Be serious. Job. You are um
you're a light [music] and I would love
to be a part of your lights. I would
love to see just how [music] far God is
going to take you because I I see like I
see what God has in store for you and I
know that that place that you're always
[music] scared of and questioning
yourself that how am I going to get
there like you're really going to get
there and you're going to be so big and
you're going to be so well. You're going
to do so well and [music] I just make
sure I want to make sure that I'm part
of your story and you know we continue
[music] being a family. We continue
seeing her. So, like I love going over
to your house and saying, "Oh my god,
Kenny." I'm so cute. I love I just want
us to be a family.
>> Yeah.
Cute.
>> Okay. Um I'll say I love you because
Okay. I love you because I love how
goofy you are to be very honest and
[music] cuz a big part of me is like
people people I can vibe with and you're
just very silly. You're very goofy. Even
if like you have your very serious
moment, but like I just love how we can
just be ourselves with each other. Like
we're not afraid to hold. We're not
afraid to say anything or like you know
get have that fear of you know being
judged or not perceiving different way
but like yeah I just love the way like
we're just you're just so goofy and how
we just chill if that makes sense. And
obviously like I said so many times
before like I love you know having that
unofficial [music]
older you know big sister in my life
that just you know always there for me
when you know I'm going through random
random random shoes. So yeah, random,
random, random, too random. But yeah,
like I just love everything about that.
Just having my, you know, having my
comfort person but like [music] in
platonic friendship and not, you know,
loveship wise. So
>> yeah.
>> Okay.
>> We stop this. I like it though.
[screaming]
Go. Hi guys, you're watching Off King
Friends on Lumi Africa. Don't forget to
