“I Still Love Her But We Can’t Be Together!” Big Zuu on Break Ups, The BAFTAs and Burning Out!
In this unfiltered episode of We Need To Talk, rapper and BAFTA-winning TV chef Big Zuu opens up like never before.
Zuu reflects on his childhood, sharing the sacrifices his mother made to give him a better life. For the first time, he reveals the truth about his past relationships and whether he’s truly moved on from his ex. He talks about the explosive highs and crushing lows of his career - from his rapid rise to grime MC to the face of Big Zuu’s Big Eats, and the burnout that followed after winning two BAFTAs.
Paul and Zuu dive deep into the challenges of representation in the TV industry, the musical influences that shaped him, and how food became a powerful vehicle for connection.
This is Big Zuu like you’ve never seen before.
