Moliy is a superstar, thanks to her viral hit Shake It to the Max which charted in countries all around the world. She鈥檚 a bubbly, chatty, confident Ghanaian-American 24-year-old woman, happy to post about her life and twerk in unlikely places. But as she tells DJ Edu in this episode, she鈥檚 also a real girl who has had to overcome anxiety and the impact of body shaming.

Moliy first started getting noticed around the world in 2021 when she featured on Sad Girlz Luv Money with fellow Ghanaian Amaarae, a female empowerment song with a hypnotic fusion of Afropop and RnB.

She鈥檚 just released a 12-track mixtape called Baddies Love Moliy, featuring South Africa鈥檚 Grammy-winning Tyla, Jamaica鈥檚 dancehall sensation Shenseea and fellow Ghanaian Sarkodie.

In this free-wheeling conversation, Moliy shares the impressive thinking that got her through tough times, as well as her musical journey, her inspirations and her aspirations.
