A little off topic, but I appreciate how “Yao na bisso” has stuck to his humble roots unlike most African athletes when they become millionaires. He’s also heavily funding Fally, Héritier, Werra, Extra, and Doudou Copa for their recent and upcoming albums

He makes me real proud. In the states people dont know much about congo, Nigeria is the big African country or Somalia in my area. So its nice to see one of ours going hard. I love seeing him on IG uploading videos where’s he’s singing rumbas and loved how he was teaching Keri Hilson how to cook fufu and how to speak lingala. Soon as I seen the vice documentary I sent the link straight to my moms phone. Had her homesick as fuck lol

What do you mean sticking true to his roots because a lot of African athletes who are millionaires still are very prideful of their culture.

Sure, to varying degrees. I just wanted to highlight Serge because on his pages he's always promoting and shouting out Fally/Werra etc, showing his Western fans what Congolese food and is fashion, etc. He's also the most famous central African figure in USA & Canada right now with how well he's playing in the playoffs.
Did you watch the second documentary? If so you'd understand his passion for his Congo/DRC heritage and giving back; even telling his story of his daughter his parents kept a secret so he can make to Spain to play professional basketball.
