Wallo rejects the notion of automatic support for black-owned brands

Wallo initiated the discussion by emphasizing that a business should be evaluated based on its good or bad quality rather than its affiliation with any community or race. He underscored that business is ultimately a "hustle."
"Oh, I am Black, no Black people, nobody gives a f*ck about that. Kill that. Either you have a good business, or you don't. All that sh*t don't, nobody wants to hear that sh*t. That's a hustle!" the podcaster said.

"Support me cuz I got a black business. Is your restaurant clean? Is the food good? Do you got consistent cooks? Is the material or your sh*t good? Come on. Stop doing that."
The podcaster added:
'Oh, you support the white people,' Nah, I support consistency, baby. F*ck about the color you is I am going to spend my money. You got paper I am going to spend, where the f*ck I want to spend it at."
The podcaster concluded the point by indicating that some people might think that he would not be able to make it after the statement, to which the artist claimed that he is the country's top motivational speaker. The artist further suggested that he made millions and also made people millionaires.
Ultimately, he appeared to convey that businesses should not rely on sympathy—whether based on race or any other factor—to gain support. seemingly advocated for merit-based support, emphasizing that quality should be the determining factor regardless of the business's background or ownership.
As of now, the motivational speaker has not issued further clarification regarding his remarks.
