This is huge because if you follow Jackie you know she’s always said she’d never do a house tour. She must really rate Tayo. Love this for both of them 👏🏾

[MahoganyHues]

Jackie is proof that consistency, authenticity and daring to can lead to greatness.

[seyitanogunmokun]

"Only up from here, never down" is such a Nigerian thing to say😂

[SoakUpTheSonny]

Oh Jackie don't let anybody see her house! She really cool with you!

[luvistruth]

How did you get a home tour?!? She’s so private! She’s just blessed all of us. I’m so grateful 😭😭😭😭😭

[diannaachando]

Let me tell you - being dark skinned is definitely a different experience from just being black. Jackie put dark skinned babes ON.

[DesireUba]

The fact that both of them have the same surname Aina is so cool! This is the collab I didn’t know I needed.

[Munastiic]

“No matter what, life sucks. But would you rather focus on the fact that life sucks or find a way to hack it” no truer words! Amazing amazing interview

[amorai]

As a follower of both from their OG have one of the most successful Nigerian-American influencers finally give us a mansion tour via a fellow successful Nigerian influencer is MAJOR!, ...really happy we got to hear a bit of Jackie's story. Even more happier to have this experience through the lens of Tayo. Really loving the collab content!! Amazing work Tayo....amazing

[JorgeMartinez-ezjl]

She is proof of what I've always said: Some people will succeed no mattre the obstacles. No matter what life throws at her, she will succeed.

[KabeloEmilyNell]

Love that she stayed true to herself (as always) & only showed the parts of her home that we've already seen. Loved the interview too

[Thegracelyn]

A collab we didn’t know we needed!! The Aina’s😍

[busayomed]

This man is a legend! Very soon you will be touring your own millions of dollar home. Amen.

[Flygehever]

Jackie is so inspiring. I can’t believe her story. Thanks Tayo for the opportunity to get a more intimate view of Jackie’s world. Your interview skills are impressive too. It felt more like a conversation between two friends and not an actual interview.

[melindahmkhwanazi]

I remember watching Jackie, years ago, in red pjs, talk about her divorce, depression and the holidays and man i was going THROUGH IT!!!! She was just sitting in her bedroom, no frills. I sat there and I cried. Never been a makeup girly but i have watched all her videos since then. Her growth is amazing, awe-inspiring! She glosses over her struggles but baby girl has been through a lot! I'm so proud of her and i don't even know her personally.

[rodgertim]

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[tosinadeoye]

There are so many Nigerian-Americans that are doing GREAT things in America!

[theridges]

Being able to cook is not a stereotype...it's apart of being self sufficient and independent.

[JBRealLucky]

Two Aina's from different part of Youtube collaborating is what I didn't know I needed to see and it's so inspirational.

[shebelievedshecouldsoshedi]

As an African-Amercan woman on my own journey of entrepreneurship...this is HUGE! Sincerest thanks to you, Jackie for inviting us into your phenomenal home, and for sharing some of your hardest moments in life with us. Tayo, thank you for being a gracious gentleman and interviewer. I've only watched your channel once before. Trust & true humility is what landed you this interview. Well done. It's so refreshing to see a successful, African man on YT. I'm rooting for you. Blessings!
