What were Dami's feelings after the breakup with Indiyah?
You're three years into your relationship. Then India was spotted kissing inside UK star Marlon Garcia.
How did Dami's Nigerian roots influence his upbringing?
When these videos come out, all of my friends, all on their phones, and I have to listen to everybody's phone ping at the same time. What was such a beautiful relationship to now this is how it ends? My dad was a dreamer, and something inside me just always felt like maybe there's more. And then I get a call that's like, I'm just calling from Antelope Island. I said, oh, hold up. Hold up, hold up.
What challenges did Dami face growing up as a Black man in Ireland?
Let's make good TV. The first year, I made like 600. Wait, hold on. Damn it. Yeah, so it's like, oh, my dad was so happy now. What did you love about India? Her popularity shot up quickly. When you two left, I would imagine that there was a lot of pressure immediately to then sustain that, because so many couples break up. So for everyone making the noise, what do you want to tell them?
How did Dami's experience on Love Island shape his identity?
When my dad died, I feel like everything anyone could say about me, it just didn't matter anymore. It gives me chills when you said that because I could see he was everything to you. I've never had my heart broken before. Hey there, before we begin the episode, I just want to say thank you for choosing We Need to Talk.

Dami Hope, we need to talk. Sweet. I haven't seen you to sit down to do a long-form interview like this. This is my first ever one. I feel like there's certain reasons why I actually stepped away from, you know, doing things like this. Okay. Yeah, so... Okay. So why... Talk now. Why talk now? It's because I feel like I have a lot to just get out. So it's not even to, like, try and convince anybody, oh, I'm this or I'm this person. It's just to actually speak my truth. And you can take away whatever it is that you want from it, but hopefully you actually take an actual understanding of me. Okay. That makes sense. I love it. I love it. So I think in order to get to know who you are, let's go to the roots. To the roots.
The roots. And I feel like the roots are Nigeria. The roots are Nigeria. And it's something I'm proud of. Like, I'm proud of being Nigerian. I'm proud of, like, you know, my family. I'm proud of what my family did to, you know, try to give us a better life because my dad was a dreamer. He's the reason why we, we probably migrated, migrated to Ireland. Yes. And like, just, just as a kid, I can remember like, you know, flashes of like me, me getting, me getting to this point where we're in Ireland. Obviously, probably not in, probably not legally or wherever, wherever we, because, you know, we're very, very clever people. Very clever. Very clever people. So it's like, Obviously, there's a plan in place to how to like, you know, to to make sure we're able to stay here.
And I feel like back in them days was a bit easier as opposed to now. Because this is the 90s. Yeah. Yeah. I say 90s. I was born in 96. Okay. I think I was in Nigeria till like maybe I was about three years old. And from there, I remember me and my little sister, she was two years after me. So it was just me and her. And then it was me and my mom. and then my dad and then you know he'd bring us over to Ireland and I remember I think at first we used to like we used to live in a hostel with like a bunch of like loads of different people because obviously when you come to this place it's like you're trying to find a place for your you know for your family and for yourself and I remember like little flashes of just like it's just like as a kid you can remember just little dots of moments of like
oh, I'm in this hostel, I can see my mom playing chess with, you know, people that she's just making friends with in this situation. And I know everybody was against him doing this, because I remember my grandmother told me, because my mom's from my grandmother's side, and she told, she was like, we don't have to, you know, to go and do all these things.
