During the interview, AY asked Real Warri Pikin saying: "You didn't come on board just by yourself, you had to play a role with your mom. What was the feeling like?" to which Real Warri Pikin said:

REAL WARRI PIKIN: Beautiful! Oh my goodness. It was so nostalgic because it brought back a lot of memories. Because when we went for Maltina Dance All in 2010, my mom was on board. Like it was a family thing: me, my elder sister, my younger brother, my mom, and my uncle. Doing something with her in your movie just made me remember those times when she was with me and we were trying to do something together, a project together, and it was so beautiful. It was such, it's a priceless feeling doing that with my mum.

Then AY said "By the way shout out to mummy, you killed the role. You killed it back to back." to which Real Warri Pikin then said:

REAL WARRI PIKIN: And my mom was my mom in the movie! My mama na my mama for the film. It was a beautiful feeling and thank you [AY] for making that happen. And then you now went to collect account, and I say as the alert enter, the phone off! She been dey call me say "AY don run am o!" I said shoo! She was so happy. Thank you so much.
