I came up with this one called 'Pilolo.' Mr Eazi's song. It was my dance step that influenced him to do that music. This dance went viral. I started a dance challenge and it went viral. Everyone was doing it," said Zigi.
"And in her performance on Jimmy Fallon's show, I saw her doing the 'Kupe' and 'Pilolo' all at once. That was great for me. One midnight, I was in bed and had people mentioning me on my Instagram.
