- A Nigerian grandmother came to the United States for a medical reason and while staying with friends she ended up on Beyonce’s album.
- The grandmother, named by Beyonce’s team “Grandma Moji” was staying with her daughter’s friend whose 7-year-old boy is the star of “Black Is King.”
- Folajomi FJ Akinmurele was driven by “Grandma Moji” to work on his craft while his mother was working. It wasn’t until FJ’s mother signed the grandmother up with a talent agency that she was cast for the movie.
- "I was out shopping one day and she called me, and asked that I come home immediately. I was scared, you know. That was how I found myself on the way to L.A. that same day for a part in the album,"said the grandmother. You can hear Grandma Moji on "Bigger" and on "Mood" on Beyonce's"The Lion King: The Gift"album.
