Co-host of The FIX podcast and renowned artiste agitator Orane Hart, popularly known as “Naro,” reflects on a decade of engaging with celebrities, revealing that Bounty Killer stands out as the singular artiste who intimidated him the most. Describing the Warlord as the iconic ‘cross, angry, miserable’ deejay, Naro acknowledges the overwhelming experience of having the legendary artist in the studio. Ironically, this encounter evolved into one of their most viral interviews, a testament to their ability to navigate challenging situations.
“We all grew up seeing Bounty as being that no-nonsense ‘cross, angry, miserable’ deejay, so to have this man in a studio directly across from you was quite an overwhelming experience, but we got through it, and ironically, it became one of our most viral interviews.” – he told Prism Marketing Consultants. Naro also humorously added a shout-out to Spice and the memorable ‘blue shoes’ incident. “Big up, Gracie and the blue shoes.”
Reflecting on a challenging yet rewarding decade, Naro expresses gratitude for the diverse experiences shared with co-hosts Ari, Javi, and technical chief Jervis. Despite heated arguments and disagreements, Naro emphasizes that good sense has consistently prevailed, contributing to the podcast’s success.
