After giving the interviewer kilishi, Di'ja was then asked if she is indeed a business woman and now doing kilishi business, to which she said:

DI'JA: Oh my God, yes I really am. And they're different sizes. This one is just always in my pocket cuz you just never know. I can't allow you to go hungry. Literally one bite, you can't stop and I'm not just saying that. I really put in so much love, so much care into all the things that I'm doing. This as well. I try to see the positive out of all the things. I'm not telling you negative things don't hit me. I'm not telling you that we don't get slapped in the face in terms of life and things like that. But I'm just telling you it's my attitude towards sort of picking up and sort of reinventing and re-pushing and just literally creating what it is that is within your mind and allowing it to thrive. That's something that I'm learning more.

So, I love spice. I would like to think I'm the queen of spice when it comes to food. I really enjoy taste, and so yes, I have my own kilishi business and have amazing—I just got my first staff in it. I also think there's something amazing about creating jobs, creating certain parts of you that you've always wanted to sort of put out there and just have people taste it. So yes, I do have that.

I also do have, very soon, I'm going to have an art exhibition because Korede made it a point to tell everyone that I also do Visual Arts and I also do want to explore that part.

See you guys, that kilishi! I am going to be sharing some really cool kilishi to a lot of my followers cuz you guys have to taste it. You have to, have to taste it. My goodness. And there are two flavors, not just one.
