00:00I just started Snapchat and I've been liking it a lot.
00:02When I see you, it's on.
00:04You better watch out for my moves.
00:06I want to do unpolished better.
00:09Jason, Nora, welcome to London.
00:11I hope you like the way I've got some scones here for you.
00:14It's so cute.
00:15I've got some English breakfast tea.
00:17Yeah, I was going to ask what's in there.
00:18Is that coffee or...?
00:19It's tea.
00:20Do you want to pour yourself a little cheeky cup?
00:23It's tea. I love that.
00:24Oh, you're not really accustomed to tea over here yet.
00:26I'm a big tea guy, but I'm not the black tea guy.
00:31You're not?
00:32I've got some milk for you here.
00:33I kind of like the herbal teas.
00:35Like green tea, chamomile.
00:37Yeah, I'll take a little chamomile.
00:39Okay. Well, look, it looks nice.
00:40This looks good. I might have that after.
00:42Yeah, and I wanted to ask you if you're a jam and cream kind of person or a cream and jam.
00:46Because there is an order to this, by the way.
00:48Yeah, all of those look good to me.
00:50I'll take both.
00:51Just put it all in.
00:53So, I mean, this is so exciting that you two are together over here.
00:56How much of a fan are you guys of London?
00:58And how many times has it been now that you've both landed here?
01:01I mean, I've been here a million times.
01:03I feel like this is one of my second homes.
01:06I even considered moving here at one point.
01:08Oh, no way.
01:09Yeah, but I like the sun. I like the sun a lot.
01:12Same.
01:13But the energy here is amazing.
01:16I always have some of the best shows here in the UK.
01:19The food, you can't get a bad meal in the UK.
01:22Whether you're eating Indian food, whether you're eating sushi.
01:25I mean, you literally can just have whatever you want here.
01:27That's true.
01:28Fish and chips?
01:29Fish and chips, for sure.
01:31Pie and mash?
01:32Not yet, but I will now.
01:35What about movies over here?
01:36Have you got any iconic movie scenes that you love that you try and reenact when you're over?
01:41Reenact?
01:42No, but I shot a movie here.
01:43Yeah, in 2019. That was amazing.
01:45We were here for two months.
01:47We shot a movie called Street Dancer, and I had the time of my life here.
01:51Well, your dancing, guys, is unbelievable.
01:54I finally met someone that can take you on.
01:56I finally met someone who can.
01:58Honestly, it was crazy.
02:00I mean, I couldn't believe...
02:03I've seen Norah's videos before, but there's something to be said about being up close and personal
02:09to somebody that can really move and dance like that.
02:12I mean, you're just not going to see that.
02:14In 2025, it doesn't exist.
02:16So, do you remember the first time you saw each other online or on TikTok?
02:19Do you remember when it was and what it was, and how did it all come about?
02:24How is it happening?
02:25Well, look, my story is quite funny because Jason's been doing this for a long time.
02:30He's the biggest when it comes to pop music and dance.
02:34When I was in high school, the first dance collaboration I did with my group was to What You Say.
02:43Stop it.
02:44It's a banger.
02:45It's a banger, but we thought we were the most amazing dancers out there.
02:50But when I look back and I see the video, I'm like, what were we thinking?
02:52It was really bad.
02:53But I remember thinking his positioning as a dancing star who also has a beautiful voice,
02:59that whole appeal attracted me towards this world of music and dance.
03:05And I always thought, why is there no girl who has the same profile, can sing, can dance,
03:12and just so grand?
03:14And I thought there was something missing in the industry.
03:16And I always imagined, maybe it could be me one day who does it.
03:19And then, boom, we're collaborating together.
03:21It's so crazy.
03:22Hang on.
03:23Are you saying that Jason's the reason that you're kind of doing the singing and dancing?
03:28Definitely one of the reasons.
03:29Definitely one of the reasons.
03:30He does it so well, and he's so successful at it.
03:33And then I see how he works, TikTok and social media.
03:37And he's so connected with his fans.
03:39And even though he has a beautiful voice, he's never left dance.
03:42He takes dance very seriously, and I respect that.
03:45I'm so connected with the dance community globally, and I know what it means to dancers,
03:50for artists to respect the craft and to actually implement it into their artistry.
03:55And he does it in the most amazing way possible.
03:57You're getting a big head over there.
03:59You okay?
04:01I'm not going to be able to fit out of the room.
04:02It really is the truth.
04:03And I think we're kind of missing that in the industry.
04:06Yeah, and you're bringing it, babe.
04:07I mean, unbelievable.
04:09Jason, when did you first discover Nora, and did you love the same dance moves?
04:13Absolutely.
04:14Actually, a friend of ours, Tommy, introduced me to the world of Nora.
04:22And I just got engulfed.
04:24So I was literally watching video after video, just trying to understand her artistry.
04:29And I was just blown away that in 2024, there was an artist that sang that well and danced that well.
04:36Because I honestly feel like performance is just such a lost art these days.
04:40So to have seen her videos and to be blown away by her dance.
04:44But not just that, but by the energy and the wherewithal to actually put on real music videos.
04:55Like her music videos look like movies.
04:58And I'm just like, yo, nobody's spending...
05:00First of all, nobody's spending this kind of money on music videos.
05:04And nobody's doing it this well.
05:07So, you know, reinvigorated, reinspired me.
05:10So, you know, my music videos, we got to take it up a notch.
05:16I love that you said that.
05:18You know, it's so important for me to up the visuals when it comes to all the music videos we shoot.
05:23And when it comes to how I position myself in the industry,
05:28I come from Toronto, Canada.
05:30And a lot of people don't even know that.
05:32But my family are from Morocco.
05:34So I'm African, but I also live in India.
05:36And India, Morocco, and Canada are embedded within my artistry as a performer.
05:41And I always try to bring that to life through the music, whether it's the melodies, the beats,
05:46or whether it's just the visuals or the dance styles.
05:49So a lot of the things he's seen is a mixture of all these worlds put together.
05:54But for me, I make sure dance and the way I perform and the energy is central to the entire packaging.
06:02So it's Bollywood meets Hollywood, right?
06:04So you're learning a lot about each other's cultures too.
06:06Yeah, Bollywood in a sense where what I bring from Bollywood would be the performance aspect.
06:12You know, the dancing aspect.
06:14But I also bring my Canadian background and the urban background into the singing and the aesthetic.
06:21Well, the video is unbelievable.
06:23Morocco was the destination.
06:25Was it boiling hot?
06:27No, actually it was cold.
06:29It was cold as hell.
06:31We were in the middle of the desert in Morocco.
06:33And it was in June.
06:35Even I was like, what's that about?
06:37It was windy, it was freezing.
06:39It's usually hot during that time.
06:41But the dance moves.
06:43Did you guys kind of meet up before and like, yeah, we're going to have a dance off.
06:46How did you get the whole thing together?
06:48I feel like there's a proper dance off going on in this video.
06:50When I see you, it's on. Just know.
06:52I'm like, yo, you better watch out for my moves.
06:55You raced each other the whole way through the video.
06:57I'm like, where does it go?
07:00The snake hips were just...
07:04Trust me, when I saw the snake hips...
07:06You know what I'm going to call it?
07:08I mean, it's pretty good.
07:10The snake hip challenge.
07:12That's fire.
07:14When I first saw it, she did it in the dance room.
07:16I was like, yo, she's going crazy right now.
07:18This is amazing.
07:20I want to know where that came from.
07:22Was that from you?
07:24That's definitely me.
07:26Because I've been doing that since middle school.
07:28That definitely wasn't no choreography.
07:30Nobody was like, you should do it like this.
07:32Because nobody can do that.
07:34That actually happened on the spot.
07:36I'm putting out a video that shows everyone
07:38how we put the moves together.
07:40We were actually just jamming.
07:42Suddenly, that move came.
07:44I'm like, this is the one.
07:46Could you believe the way your body was moving
07:48when you started dancing with Norah?
07:50You're like, I didn't know I could do this.
07:52It was new.
07:54I think that's what's beautiful about it.
07:56Throughout my entire career,
07:58I think that's been my favorite part.
08:00To pull from other cultures,
08:02pull from other genres.
08:04To me, it just makes things more fun.
08:06Talking about sponges,
08:08you love to eat one as well.
08:10We've seen your challenges, mate.
08:12Oh, my goodness, mate.
08:14In a sponge?
08:16The chocolate sponge.
08:18The Milly challenges.
08:20Oh, my goodness.
08:22You must run out of ideas for your TikToks
08:25and your food.
08:27I don't know how you do it.
08:29My one big question is,
08:31how do you both have the storage on your phones?
08:33I don't.
08:35That's why I have two phones.
08:37That's why.
08:39I'm going through deleting my calendar,
08:41my calculator.
08:43I've got nothing left on my phone.
08:45How do you do it?
08:47A battery pack as well.
08:49You must have your phone constantly plugged in.
08:51I'm not recording everything,
08:53but it's not many at all.
08:55Do you want to be a TikToker?
08:57Three phones.
08:59I've got a bonus clip for you, Jason.
09:01I've googled Jason Derulo's snake.
09:03The only thing that comes up
09:05is videos of you being terrified of snakes.
09:07Your new single is called Snake.
09:09Is it in homage to the fact
09:11that you are petrified?
09:13Or are you trying to make amends with the animal?
09:15You know what's crazy?
09:17Over the years, I've definitely gotten over that fear.
09:19I'm definitely not afraid of snakes anymore.
09:21Which kind of snakes?
09:23The actual animal or humans?
09:25Because humans can be snakes.
09:27That takes me nicely
09:29onto my little game.
09:31You've heard of snakes on a plane, right?
09:33Snakes in a suite.
09:35Here we go.
09:37We've got a little game for you.
09:39Am I okay to throw a snake at you, Jason Derulo?
09:41Absolutely.
09:43Can you tell me the name of that snake?
09:45Absolutely.
09:47What's the name on the back of it?
09:50This is a grass snake.
09:52Yeah, a grass snake.
09:54Have you ever snitched anyone up?
09:56When have you been a grass in your lifetime?
09:58Oh, are we doing that?
10:00What does that mean?
10:02Someone's annoying
10:04and so you tell your boss or whatever.
10:06Like a snitch?
10:08Yeah, a proper snitch.
10:10I didn't know that's where you were going with it.
10:12I snitch on my brother
10:14all the time.
10:16All the time.
10:18I'm not even going to lie.
10:20He gets in trouble for it?
10:22Yeah, he does.
10:24That's the best part.
10:26No, I didn't do too much snitching
10:28if I'm being completely honest.
10:30Snitching was not okay.
10:32It's not.
10:34It's street code.
10:36You can't snitch.
10:38That's why I snitch only in the home.
10:40I don't snitch outside.
10:42Even in the home it was not allowed.
10:44I could snitch on my brother
10:46and it was going to be hell to pay after if I did that.
10:48Okay, next one.
10:50Ready, Nora?
10:52What's this one?
10:54This one is a boa constrictor.
10:56Okay, what really winds you up?
10:58What really tightens your neck and really annoys you?
11:00Oh my god, when someone doesn't know how to do their job.
11:02I hate lack of efficiency.
11:04Told.
11:06Told, okay.
11:08I can agree with that for sure.
11:10But another thing is a liar.
11:14I don't like a liar.
11:16You can do a lot of things to me, but just don't lie to me.
11:18Love it.
11:20Ready, catch.
11:22What's that one?
11:24Anaconda.
11:26Okay, Anaconda, biggest snake on the planet.
11:28Who do you believe, apart from yourselves, is the biggest
11:30musical artist right now?
11:34I would have to say...
11:38I would have to say Beyonce.
11:40Oh my god, I was going to say the same thing.
11:43When can we get her involved with this, guys?
11:45When can we get her third wheeling?
11:47At this point, anytime please.
11:49Love it.
11:51Next one.
11:53This is a elephant trunk.
11:55Elephants never forget.
11:57What's been the most embarrassing moment on stage?
11:59Elephant trunk snake.
12:01Most embarrassing moment on stage, guys?
12:03Nobody knows this, but I know this.
12:05I was performing for
12:07FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
12:09This was for the FIFA FanFest performance.
12:11The crowd was 70,000 people.
12:13I was on stage,
12:15and my outfit rips.
12:17Like, from the back.
12:19From the back.
12:21And I'm like, oh my god, my outfit rips.
12:23And the boots rip.
12:25But I had to keep going.
12:27But thankfully, nobody noticed, because I had layers.
12:29But I knew it happened.
12:33I did a TikTok the other day.
12:35When I was on tour,
12:37I faked like I had to go to the bathroom
12:39when I was on stage.
12:41So then TMZ and all these sites
12:43picked it up like it was an actual thing that happened.
12:45It was like, Jason couldn't hold it on the stage.
12:47That was, you know,
12:49embarrassing and funny as hell
12:51at the same time.
12:53But an actually embarrassing moment
12:55was at Wembley Stadium here.
12:57I dropped the mic,
12:59because I was trying to take off this leather jacket.
13:01I had to be like 21 years old.
13:03And I was trying to take off this leather jacket.
13:05It was hot.
13:08It was hot as hell.
13:10I was trying to take off this leather jacket.
13:12And one of the dancers is right next to me.
13:14I'm like, hey, shorty, help me take this off.
13:16She's just in her own world,
13:18doing her own thing.
13:20Finally, the mic drops on the floor.
13:22And I'm like, damn.
13:24In front of 90,000 people.
13:26It's cool.
13:28Yeah, but you always look great.
13:30You just styled it out.
13:32I got one more.
13:34This is the big one.
13:36Okay.
13:38Cobra.
13:40That's a good one, isn't it?
13:42By the way, we have a cobra in our music video.
13:44And it's real.
13:46Unbelievable.
13:48I want to know who's the biggest TikToker on the planet.
13:50Who do you want to aspire to be?
13:52Him.
13:54I'm not even going to lie.
13:56I have to study him.
13:58He's a course.
14:00Can we get a Jason Derulo TikTok course going on?
14:02Oh, absolutely.
14:04I live in America.
14:06It seems like TikTok is going to be banned in America.
14:08Maybe I can give you guys
14:10like a
14:12Snapchat course.
14:14This happens, Jason.
14:16Are you going to move to the UK?
14:18I can't imagine your life without TikTok in it.
14:20What's your thoughts on it?
14:22You know what?
14:24I just started Snapchat, and I've been liking it a lot.
14:26Really? I'm not on it.
14:28You better get on it.
14:30I honestly feel like it's the next wave.
14:33I'm really into it.
14:35And I think people really love the live aspect.
14:37People like the unpolished aspect of it.
14:39Okay.
14:41I think it's the next wave.
14:43If we're not on it, then we're just going to get left behind.
14:45No, I don't want to be left behind.
14:47And you only do polished.
14:49I mean, come on. You are the Don.
14:51You're the best at it.
14:53You know, I want to do unpolished better.
14:55I can teach you if you want.
14:57There's no one ever.
14:59No, I promise you.
15:01I don't know why I want to curse so much this morning.
15:03I didn't have no coffee this morning.
15:05That was me also this morning.
15:07But I think the new age is live.
15:09It's just live.
15:11Yeah.
15:13Unfiltered live.
15:15Yeah, love that.
15:17And just finally, LA fires.
15:19Everything okay? Are you alright?
15:21Yeah, I got out in time.
15:23And obviously, it was really scary.
15:25I was shooting influencer videos for Snake.
15:27And we ended up having to evacuate.
15:29But I just hope everyone's okay.
15:31It's really, really unfortunate.
15:33But yeah, I mean,
15:35sending my heart out to everybody for sure.
15:37It's pretty crazy.
15:39You know, LA is like one of those places
15:41that, you know,
15:43you think that maybe an earthquake will happen.
15:45That's what I was thinking too, yeah.
15:47And then the fires will happen.
15:49But it's usually like in an obscure,
15:51more obscure area.
15:53But like some of the biggest cities,
15:55most well-known places,
15:57have been burned down to the ground.
15:59Yeah.
16:01So it's a pretty crazy situation.
16:03Send your love to everyone.
16:05Thank you so much, guys.
16:07The tune's amazing. The video's amazing.
16:09You're amazing.
16:11And I'm looking forward to seeing the unpolished version of you.
16:13Yeah, absolutely.
16:15I have a lot of footage of you.
16:17Thanks, guys.
16:19Thank you. Appreciate it.
