"My Mum and Siblings have already accepted me for who I am" _ Fashion Fanatic/Philantropist, Raymond

*     My name is Olagbende Rebecca also known as RBK, can I meet you?

My name is Olawole Falope aka Raymond.

*     So, the name @therealbabyboyforlife you bear on instagram, was it coined from Raymond or just a name for the gram?

It was coined as a result of my lifestyle.

*     What is this lifestyle if I may ask?

My traveling, Shopping and Philanthropist lifestyle.

*     I want to ask, do you mind sharing your educational/family background?

Yeah sure, I went to Straitgate Nursery and Primary School in Magodo, also went to Lindsey Primary School at Igbon Efon then at primary 5, I switched to Ebenezery Height. I did my secondary school at Distinct Medal College, Magodo afterwards, I wrote jamb and enrolled at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism then I did dLI at Unilag before finally enrolling at Ohio State University.

*     Wow, That's a lot, u are a really educated somebody😁

Lol, thanks hun.

*     You are so welcome 😊, so how about your family/background?

I'm the first of 4kids.

*     Okay...

My dad is late so all I have is just my mum, siblings and God.

*     Awwww, so sorry about that🙏 . Following the family/background question, your looks😁 (Chaii) attracts/draw almighty attention, you know, anyone that sees you would be like, "maybe he is an hairstylist", "maybe he is a MakeUp artist" and what have you😃, so I want to ask if you are into the fashion business, music business, modelling business or better still, what is the inspiration behind your looks?

I'm a Model, Actor and a fashion designer.

*     Very cool...So how does mum and siblings react to the whole swag thing?

They don't have a problem with it as they've all accepted me for who I am.

*     That is applaudable, Ok let us come to strangers now, how do people react when they see you, do they ask questions like, are gay or something? Then how do you often react?

Some people are receptive while some say are you a guy or a girl. Some say "are you gay?" 😂. I give them instant replies because my mouth gat no chill.

*     😆😆😆

I clear them straight away and let them know I'm not gay that it's just my style. My hair and looks are my signature. Same way some Footballers, Artistes and Models have certain looks.

*     Therefore, we can say, you are straight, you do girls and not guys🤣 and the looks and all is just for the signature and lifestyle? So on behalf of the All Girls Association AGA😁, I would like to ask if you are still single?

Yessssssss and Yes I'm still Single.

*     Am sure girls would start applying once they read this interview😁

Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂

*     Ok back to serious matters, got to know you have a Charity Foundation, can you shed more light on it please?

I started it last year after my 24th birthday. It is to cater for the less privileged in rural areas who have no access to the good life.

*     Hmmmn, a nice scheme, may God continue to enrich your pocket🙏

Amen🙏

*     I also got to know you auditioned for the 2019 Big Brother Nigeria Reality TV show, how was the audition first of all?

It was stressful.

*     Eyaah, but you auditioned at last?

No, I did not, I left angrily. The stress was too much.

*     Ouuuuch!!! People were already hoping to see you in the house including me.

Yeah, I know right but I had to save my life and brand. The environment was not conducive for me. They started spraying tear gas on people and some started choking and vomiting. Some people even fainted in the process. I could not endure such treatment so I had to leave.

*     What was your motivate behind wanting to be part of the reality show?

I believe it is a great platform to showcase my brand which is also an added advantage for them as I'd be giving them more ratings and views.

*     So what words do you have for anyone out there silently or openly looking up to you?

Be yourself and don't care what people say about you. Grow a tough skin. Else if you keep throwing stones at every dog that barks you'd never get to your destination and you'd be depressed.

*     Hmmmn that is one good advice no one should forget 🤔 but one question pls, do you still plan to venture into this cross-dressing thing like Bobrisky, Denrele Edun, and the likes?

Looooool No way! Though I don't have anything against them as it's their life and people should be allowed to do whatever pleases them or rock their boat.

*     Yea just like a friend of mine would say "Every Mallam with him own Kettle" 😁

Yes ooo

*     And also where do you see yourself, your foundation and your career in the next five to ten years?

I see myself on Forbes list rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gate.

*     Very nice💯✅ Okay we have come to the end of this interview, I want to say a very big thank you for granting this interview, may God continue to bless you🙏 Then your Instagram and Twitter Handles so anyone with a personal question can contact you.

You're welcome...Amen and you too dear. Instagram: @therealbabyboyforlife Twitter: @Raymondsplash
