Tell us more about your past career as a professional athlete?

I started my professional basketball career playing in Bosnia. It was a beautiful country and the locals were very welcoming. I stayed there for eight months and then received a contract to play in Australia. Adelaide was a gorgeous city and Australia was one of my favorite places I have visited. The basketball experience in Australia was one of a kind and our fans treated us with great hospitality.

As your new level of social media influence grows with your followers, do you feel that you have any social or ethical responsibility in your content?

Yes, as my platform grows I definitely believe it is one of my duties to speak out on social issues people face in America. Having a big platform always enables me to spread awareness and educate my followers on social injustices. 

Do you consider yourself an influencer, entertainer, or something else?

I consider myself an entertainer because my content is focused on giving people an experience whether that’s through comedy, advice, or inspiration. My aspirations are to be able to show my personality on television one day and grow as an entertainer. 

You have released several features on Tik Tok, can you tell us more about yourself as a musician?

My music has been taking off on TikTok. I have a song called Best friend which went viral and currently has over 44 million plays. A lot of my followers have been gravitating towards my music and embracing it. I haven’t fully made a true introduction to my fans about my music, so I am interested to see how they will react once I release my first project this summer. I recently collaborated with Bino Rideaux, who is an upcoming LA artist, and the song has been my best streaming song I’ve done so far. This new project I am releasing has a lot of significant features from artists who are established in the music industry. As TikTok continues to grow, a lot of artists/influencers like myself have been gaining more opportunities to collaborate with solidified artists because of having a large fan base on social media. 

What are the pros and cons when it comes to your social media growth (comments, dms, etc?

I think the pros are being able to have a voice and to be a leader that many can look up to. For example, some of my friends’ children have told their parents that I am their favorite creator on TikTok. I think it’s awesome that I can put a smile on someone’s face and make them happy. The cons would be on the business side of TikTok. I think brands often overlook, or devalue influencers by not paying them what their worth. That is one of the biggest obstacles I face as a creator thus far.

What’s the ultimate goal for Novaakan3?

My ultimate goal  is to continue to inspire others and to stay true to myself. I am taking this experience one day at a time and enjoying every part of it along the way. Social media has changed my life and I want to share with everyone the ability to have a platform that can help uplift others and can help change the world.
