KING JOEL

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎆

Here’s the cover for my upcoming EP titled “GOD’S TIME” dropping on Jan 11 🥶
Pre-save link in my bio 📍

This EP was postponed so many times last year due to all the unforeseen circumstances. I made so many plans, set so many dates, & put so many things in motion, but all to no avail. I guess it wasn’t time. I still feel unprepared but I’m no longer waiting on perfection cos there’s no such thing. Let’s roll.

I pray 2023 will be a year of restoration and blessings. God bless y’all 🕊️

Farewell to a soul tie 💔

I rolled into 2022 thinking it’d be my best year yet. O how mistaken I was. A series of misfortunes & internal disasters. At some point I watched both my parents barely cling to life. Mom survived but Dad eventually passed away, December 2022.

I pride myself with being tough & perseverant, but I’d be lying if I said 2022 didn’t break my will. I’ve been a shell of myself, suffering internally. It’s been difficult for me to be happy. I can’t even bring myself to do the things I love. Burdened with guilt of accepting things I can’t control.

I apologize to everyone I ghosted. People kept checking on me & never get a response. I couldn’t talk about anything without getting extremely emotional & I didn’t want people to see or hear me like that. It hits different.

I raced to succeed in life so my parents would be proud of me. I had so many plans for them, but I kept trying to chase more success before doing a lot of these things. I thought I had time, but God said otherwise. Now I’m stuck with regrets of all the things I should’ve done 😢

Love yours while you still can. I’ve got so many mixed emotions & unanswered questions from God, but I choose love. I Love you Dad. May your soul rest in peace 🕊️

I’ll be performing with some musical legends at the Sheen Magazine Awards show in Atlanta tomorrow.

I’ll be the only Artist representing Afrobeats for the awards so it’s definitely bout to be lit.

Streaming live on Fox Soul to millions of viewers. Tune in ⚡️🐉

I’m unapologetic with my art. I say what I want, how I want, when I want. I showcase art in all forms with true correlation to life, de@th, vanity, sins, holiness & all in-between.

Everything you see/hear from me is pure & how I truly feel in the moment of creation or envisionment. There’s plenty hidden messages in my lyrics; prophecies, manifestations & revelations.

My vocabulary is impeccable. My knowledge is incalculable. my swag is indelible. I’m an enigma. Overtly ethereal & intentionally superfluous. I’m not a product of serendipity. Nothing I do is by way of happenstance. See, I sometimes flex a lil like this just so you know I’m cut different. One of a kind. A once-in-a-lifetime prodigy. The greatest miracle of recent times.

I AM KING JOEL 🐉

I’ve been suffering mentally for several months & it all stems from how I’ve openly portrayed myself as a philanthropist & a big hearted person that really wants to impact millions of lives positively by taking on their pains, burdens & financial woes.

I Can’t solve everyone’s problems. Lord knows I’ve been a helping hand to so many. As a result, people started taking advantage of me. I became a bank & it’s been hard to have a normal relationship with people cos I’m scared it all ends the same way. Few conversations in & i hear about some financial problems they need me to help with. I no longer know whose call I can answer because 97% of the time, they end up asking me to help with money.

People literally get mad at me when they ask for $2,000 & I give them $1,000 instead. Let’s do some quick simple math. If I send $1,000 to 100 people, that’s $100,000. So put that in perspective. I barely sleep 4-5 hours a day & I wake up to almost 100 missed calls, 100 emails, a bunch of texts messages & hundreds of DMs. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I read messages & feel people’s pain. I cry for them, feel bad for them, & overextend myself to help them. What do I get in return? They say “thank you” & come right back a couple of weeks later. When I say “no more” I’m a bad guy.

Some loan money from me & don’t wanna pay back. Even most people I do business with are quick to charge me triple the normal fee & keep coming back for more money without delivering my job. I’m tired Mehn.

I’ll be taking a break from philanthropy. In just 4 years, I’ve done more for people than many corporations do over the span of a decade. & I’m doing this with personal funds, not donations. I NEED A BREAK. I don’t even have time to fully focus on myself cos I’ve been immersed in other people’s problems.

Just love me for who I am right now or leave me the F**k alone. I need time to focus on my wellbeing, my family, my label, my artistry, my few friends, & my happiness. I NEED A BREAK. If you contact me with your personal problems, I’ll perceive you as a problem. I AM NOT A BANK, & I AM NO LONGER TAKING ON ANYONE’S PROBLEMS THIS YEAR. Thank you & God bless.

GINGER drops on MAY 25 😤

it’s time to make a statement. Let’s Goooooo

DAMN!

I allowed people’s burdens to be my burden & I got so overwhelmed to the point where I was in a very sad place, devoid of my usual happiness & enthusiasm. I recently stopped myself from sending money to everyone that kept asking. THEN,

For my birthday, I asked people to send me any cash amount I was worth to em & I waited to see who would oblige & how much they’d send. Only 4 people sent me money. A total of $5,110

I’ve refunded $5,000 & kept $110 (SEE SLIDES 👉🏾). One other person did reach out & I told him not to send me anything cos he’s doing things more valuable than cash. Anyways, I received a lot of love, well wishes & meaningful gifts. I’m extremely thankful for those 🙏🏽

Once I stopped sending money, I became oblivious to em. My biggest regret is that I sidelined a few projects cos I gave away all the money I set aside, only to still get hate in return.

I’m known for being so charitable & it’s the ones closest to me that abused it. They get mad about how much I’m doing for other people I don’t know personally, & they feel entitled to huge sums of money from me. I started feeling guilty about spending MY MONEY on myself.

I came out of my shell a few years ago because I’m embracing the role of an entertainer. I started making my charitable deeds public in order to spread awareness & encourage others to do likewise. I also became accustomed to this new era of showing the good life you’re able to afford & so forth.

I graduated college in 2012 & started making over $250,000/year by 2013. I bought my first house in Atlanta in 2014 (worth almost half a mill). I bought my 1st international piece of land in 2014 (donated to church/charity). I’ve been doing very great & remained lowkey until I decided to embrace being a public figure. So to those saying I brought this upon myself, I beg to differ. Scroll down to my old posts & you’ll see the high level of things I’ve been doing for many years (& those are a few things I was comfortable enough to post back then).

I’m entering a new chapter in my life & I’ll be moving different. I’ll be focusing on myself, my music, my businesses, & the few people that bring me joy. Peace & Love ✌🏾💛

MY TIME IS COMING. GOD’S TIME 🐉

I’ve got so much vibrations to share with y’all. Sorry for the wait, but it’ll be worth it.

MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW, APRIL 7

Don’t forget my challenge to everyone this year is to know what I’m worth to you. Put a value on me & send how much you think I’m worth.

THIS DOESNT START UNTIL MY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY TOMORROW & IT’LL LAST FOR 1 WEEK.

see previous previous post for full details.

& YES, that’s a picture of me when I turned 1. ENJOY THIS PICTURE OF A BABY GOD. Wide eyed, very quiet, extremely intelligent baby full of hope.

Just a couple years from that picture, my entire world would be turned upside down. I don’t think anyone else could’ve survived what I went through. I’ve literally been to hell & back, yet here I am today defying all the odds set against me. I’ll save the details for another time. In the meantime, Celebrate me.

I can’t wait to see what I’m worth to some of y’all. Looking forward to all the blessings and disappointments 😭 Love y’all 🚀💛

Don’t waste your time on a waste of time, cos that’s a waste of time. I’m done wasting time ⚡️

MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 3 DAYS. APRIL 7!!!
& I’m doing things a lil different.

🚨 SEE PREVIOUS POST 🚨

= 🤔 🚀

ALERT 🚨 APRIL 7th IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

As you all know, I’m probably one of the most selfless and charitable people you’ll ever come across. In the past few years alone, I’ve given away money & gifts worth over $3,000,000 to people all around the world 🌍

THIS IS NOT TO BRAG. I’m just saying that I’ve dedicated my life to doing good to others, blessing others, & making people feel special.

HENCE, I want to use this birthday as a means of seeing what I mean to every one of y’all that know me. I WANT TO FEEL LIKE IM WORTH SOMETHING. I don’t wanna hear “King has it all” or “What can you give someone that has everything” etc… I’ve been hearing that for so many years & i’m tired of it. People think it’s unimportant to give me anything & I usually end up with text messages, IG posts, birthday cards, or comments saying “Happy Birthday”

I do appreciate ‘em, but this year, I’ll respectfully say “FXXK THAT”. Put a dent in your pocket if I mean something forreal. SEND MONEY 💵 . Let’s see how much im worth to you.

I REALLY WANNA SEE THE VALUE OF WHAT IM WORTH TO EACH OF YOU. If you send $10,000 it’ll tell me a lot. If you send 10 bucks, it’ll also tell me a lot. I’m looking forward to all the blessings & disappointments. The results of this activity will shape the future 😎

Zelle: [email protected] 🐝

I’ll keep it open & running for 1 week. Put your name so I know who it came from. I’ll let the world know how much I get from this 🚀

Some will get it, some won’t. Some will judge & some will make weird assumptions/conclusions. Eitherways 🤷🏽‍♂️ 💛🖤

“Put my name in the sky. Bury me in Heaven with the gods when I die.”

THE MAN CALLED GOD!

I take advantage of my misfortunes. I find blessings in disappointments. I persevere when all odds are against me. I may be phased by life’s challenges at times, but I remain unchallenged & give all glory to GOD.

To all those who believe in me, I promise I’LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. To all those who genuinely love & care about me, THANK YOU!

Heavy is the crown. The glorious destiny that awaits me comes with burdensome responsibilities. They shall never be too arduous for me to bear. They shall never overwhelm me. GOD is my strength!

& ⚡️& of course, 😤

More money
More problems
More gain
More pain

A rollercoaster of emotions.

What if I never made it?
What if I stop having it?

Would people love me the same?
Or relish my moment of shame?

I ponder these things while living the dream, or so it seems.

Nowadays I can’t seem to think
Sallowed by too many things
A bevy of lovers & friends
Just heartbreak waiting to sting

I’d be remiss if I didn’t think there’d be deceit
Or cumbersome feelings from those full of sh*t
Oh how I reminisce bout life before the dough
My broke days was when I loved life the most

💔

It’s a difference between living & merely existing. When you a rich ni**a I swear to u that life is litty 🐒

Lyrics from
⚡️ 🐝

I kicked off 2022 by coming to my motherland, NIGERIA 🇳🇬

One of the main purposes of my trip was giving back to my people out here. Daniel Cole helped me put together this event. We had kids debate in order to win cash prizes and the topic was: “BUILDING A BETTER NIGERIA: RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENTS OR GOVERNMENT?”

The event was a huge success and I spontaneously went way over budget by even picking kids in the crowd to get 50,000 naira each (besides the millions already won by contestants).

I increased the winner’s cash prize by 300,000 naira because she was so impressive. ONLY TO FIND OUT AFTER THE EVENT THAT THE SHE IS AN ORPHAN. Unbelievable. You see how you never know how impactful your good deeds are to someone’s life.

We also gave away a ton of cash to widows and less privileged people. Everyone in that stadium left with something they’ll never forget. I funded this personally, & I also know some philanthropic Nigerians like David Njoku whom do things like this as well. Imagine if more people joined the cause. WE CAN HELP BUILD A BETTER NIGERIA !

It’s important to inspire and motivate people. It’s paramount to invest in these kids because they’re our future. I was once one of them, & I’M STILL THAT KID FROM OJUELEGBA.

Major thanks to , , , my ⚡️ Thanks to the Schools, the professionals that formed the panel of judges, & everyone involved in making this a success.

Big thanks to Spellz for welcoming me home, & to my Security detail for protecting me at all costs. I’m thankful for y’all.

Like I always say, “Do good & better things will find you.” Stay blessed, stay inspired & stay motivated. God bless.

More money more problems. Just Gotta learn to smile through the BS & surround yourself with those who care about u Forreal 🌚🌝

Rest In Peace

On November 28th, we wrapped up production of my visual album “LIVINGGOD PROJECT”

On November 28th, I wore my exclusive pieces of the Virgil Abloh x Louis Vuitton Fall collection.

On November 28th, we lost a LEGEND

It saddens my heart to learn about his early passing, but I feel extremely honored to immortalize him in my memory forever as the designer of my final wardrobe for the LivingGod Project. I’ll also remember November 28, 2021 forever in sadness & joy.

Like I said in the final chapter of my project, “Life is the greatest gift you have, for you are unawares of what precedes and what follows. Yet we live in the moment and relish the value it brings, the memories we make, and the love we share. The purpose we have in the moments we’re here...”

Virgil served his purpose. He inspired millions of us and showed how a young black boy from Africa can transcend barriers and accomplish the highest levels of adulation from all races and cultures. Rest easy brother. God got you 🕊

📸:

I’ve collaborated with outlets in 5 states in Nigeria to feed at least 1,800 people.

It’s a new Dawn. We’re celebrating THANKSGIVING in Nigeria from now on.

I was going to give away 2 Million Naira to a few families, but I had to find a way to reach more people. This already costs me a lot of money, but I’m still committed to giving cash to a few families & i’ll keep reading suggestions on how to distribute the funds (SEE PREVIOUS POST) ‼️‼️‼️

Thank you for thinking up this brilliant idea.

My hope is that we can influence others to join this effort to make a thing in Nigeria.

No one is asking for Donations. Let’s just make it a day where people come together to provide food and clothing to the less privileged. Directly from YOU to THEM!

THANKSGIVING brings joy to people in America. It’s literally one of the happiest days for the less privileged people here & they look forward to all the love they receive on Thanksgiving. Let’s extend that to Nigeria. We’re all we’ve got. Love y’all 🇳🇬

Happy Thanksgiving 💛

As we all eat & celebrate with family, it’s important to remember those who are less fortunate.

I’m not celebrating Thanksgiving this year. I’m taking time to think about ways to reach more people in need. We (Elision Records / CYR) already partnered with other companies for a food drive in Atlanta. I’ve always done something special for people in Atlanta, especially around Georgia State University, downtown where I graduated from.

I want to do more ‼️

So I’ll use this opportunity to give back to people from my motherland 🇳🇬 where I was actually born. Nigeria doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but I’m declaring today THANKSGIVING DAY in Nigeria as well ‼️

It has never been done before, but I’ll see this through that THANKSGIVING becomes a thing in Nigeria. It might take a few years, but I’ll do everything I can to help influence the government. Why it’s important is because of the impact Thanksgiving has here in America. So many homeless & less fortunate people get to receive a lot of Love, food & warmth on this day. People get together with their families & there’s tons of joy & merriment in the air.

All that said, I’m pledging 2 Million naira this Thanksgiving day to people in Nigeria. I don’t know if it’ll go to 2 families or 10 families. I’ll let y’all decide ‼️

& will help with this effort. I already have thousands of unread messages, so it’s best to contact them directly or comment your opinions & I’ll be able to read through some. I think it’s more impactful to give 2 families 1 Million Naira each, & then we do a food drive later, but that’s my opinion. You guys let us know the best way to distribute this 2 million.

I’ve actually spent over $100,000 towards helping people & making donations this year (that’s a very modest estimate), so Whoever says 2 million isn’t enough, They’re welcome to contribute as well 🤷🏽‍♂️

My fellow Nigerians, I’ll never forget where I came from. , from to you 💛🇳🇬

I’m thankful to God for his immense blessings & i’m for everyone that truly loves me. Who/what are you thankful for???
