Broda Shaggy went on to state that his skit making got better because he is to a large extent an introvert, adding that he has made it a full time job.
“I have taken this as my 24-7 job. Every time I create content I create my time to plan the shoot. No time. I don’t go out that much. I am more of an indoor person. I don’t club, not that it’s a bad thing, it is just my person” he added.
The 28-year-old actor, when asked how he copes with attention from fans despite being someone who loves being by himself, said he switches characters to please his fans.
He also said he stayed away from cyber crimes because he does not have what it takes to face the consequences, also stating that since he has a job that is paying his bills, he decided to focus on it.
He stated, “It’s a normal thing, my personality is different from this character. Most of the time when I am on set, I can vibe with anyone. When I am alone, say I am travelling, when people see me they want to believe it’s still that character. I still put everything together because these are my fans. These are the people that subscribe to my YouTube channel”.
“I don’t have the guts to do ‘yahoo’. Content creation is what I do aside from my other businesses. It’s what I started with. It is what put me out there. Through this content creation endorsements have come in, a lot has come to me. I just stay true to myself”.
The comedian also said he gets inspiration from solitude, adding that living alone gives him the ability to think deeply, jot ideas down and write stories in his quiet moments.
“My home inspires me. I live alone, I get inspiration when I am alone and most of the time when I am alone you just see me laughing. I live alone, jot things down, and write stories”. He concluded.
Broad Shaggi took interest in acting at a young age, he was influenced by his late father who was a drama teacher and he is notable for his satire plays which he shared on Instagram.
He had tried different characters before settling for the name of Broda shaggi. He also won awards such as The Future Awards Africa Nigeria Prize for Comedy and City People Music Award for Comedy Act of the Year.
