Bread & Butter

“Who are the DJs?”“What music are you playing?”“What kind of crowd is coming?”

On paper, it sounds like normal event questions.But for Black promoters, those questions can decide whether the event happens at all.

In this episode of The Bread and Butter Podcast, Tayo and Eman sit down with Dami from This Can’t Come Out 2.0for a funny but honest conversation about events, podcasting, authenticity and the unseen challenges behind building something from the ground up.

Dami breaks down the realities Black promoters face — from venues labelling events “high risk” because of the music, DJs or crowd, to being quietly blacklisted after one incident.

He also speaks on building This Can’t Come Out, choosing authenticity over polish, and why real conversations will always connect.

From handling awkward wedding drama to managing difficult crowds, Tandoh shares what people do not see behind the mic.

In this episode of the Bread and Butter Podcast, Tayo and Eman sit down in a new setting and get straight into one of the biggest questions people have been asking. Is Dubai finished? After flight cancellations, school closures, media panic, and families being split across countries, they break down what the recent Middle East tension has looked like from real life, not from headlines.Tayo shares what happened when he and Antoinette were stuck in the UK while their children were still in Dubai, how they found an alternative route and why the family then moved across to Nairobi while schools stayed shut. Eman opens up about how the situation affected his own Dubai plans, his business setup, and the doubts people around him suddenly had.The conversation goes deeper than travel drama. They speak about why entrepreneurs think differently, why problem solvers see opportunity where others see obstacles, and why commitment matters when nobody is clapping for you. They also tackle the way some people in the UK seem eager to celebrate Dubai’s downfall, while many people who live there still feel there is nowhere else that gives the same safety, ambition, convenience, and quality of life.This is an honest conversation about risk, family, moving abroad, mindset, and whether Dubai is still worth it in 2026.
