TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE ADDICTIVE… | Body Counts, Breakups & Drake ft. Zach Zoya | Get The Gist

HELLO GISTERS🎙️

Roz and Princess sit down with Canadian R&B artist Zach Zoya for a raw, FUNNY, and unexpectedly deep conversation that swings from toxic love,music, and cultural chaos 🎙️✨

We get into it properly body counts & toes👀, why toxic relationships feel so good😮‍💨, makeup sex vs emotional damage 😵‍💫, and that grey area between the “love of your life” and just a “love of a season.” Zach doesn’t hold back, sharing his views on dating, feminine energy, and why real connection always comes down to authenticity over ego 🧠❤️

It’s not ALL relationships… Zach opens up about his upbringing in rural Quebec, growing up with no TV or internet 📺🚫, and how boredom literally pushed him into music. He also shares the powerful story of his father fleeing apartheid South Africa 🇿🇦 as a political refugee and rebuilding a life in Canada 🍁

On the music side, Zach breaks down how his roots shape his sound, explaining why he hears rhythm first and treats rapping like drumming 🥁. We have the great debate of Canadian icons 🇨🇦 from Drake, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, and Celine Dion including the Kendrick vs Drake beef and what it says about hip-hop right now 🎤🔥

From chaotic dating confessions to emotional family history and real music insight, this episode is everything Get The Gist does best: unfiltered conversations, big laughs 😂, and moments that actually make you think 💭
