 Was that one clip that you did that just changed the game for you? It was that interview where she asked me if I saw Jesus in Mushin, Mushin is another ghetto in Nigeria. She asked if I saw Jesus in Mushin, how would I react? I was like Jesus in Mushin, how would I exclude? I would tell Jesus that he must not leave me, must give me money. I am suffering. So it was funny, it was controversial, it was different. What's up everybody, welcome to SPM Buzz. My name is Liz Jackson, this is Buzz with the stars with the one and only Broda Shaggy. Hello, how are you? Alright, so boy Broda Shaggy nabawafambag buddha melalim, ppom ppim blaskim. Boy, how do you from Nigeria? Whatever you said. Welcome to Kenya. Thank you. The response should be asante. Asante, asante sana. Asante sana, mambo vip. Aha, that one I don't know. Niko freshe. Nice, nice, nice. Welcome to Kenya, happy to see you. How are you loving Kenya? I'm loving Kenya very good, very well because it's my second time in Kenya. The first time I came, it was just me knowing more about the old country, Nairobi itself, but I feel good. Every time I'm in Kenya, it's always a celebration for me. Have you tried any Kenyan food? This time I haven't, but the last time, yes I did. What exactly did you love? Okay, I think Gloria, which one did you feed me that day? Ugali. Yes, I love that. I want to take you back when you started. At a very young age, you were acting and I think your father was a teacher. What exactly drove you into acting? I would say, well, my father was a teacher like you said, but he was a drama teacher, so I think most of the entertainment vibe in me, I got it from him because he was a dancer, he was a singer as well. I started going out with him for classes when he started while I was in school because it was a boarding school. That was Me Flower, Me Flower is in Ikenne, Oregon State in Nigeria. That was when I started. After his demise, I started living with my mum. I just grew passion for art basically. Even in my university days, it wasn't acting I went to study, it was drawing and painting. I just grew love for art basically. How instrumental was your dad in your career? Did he nurture it? How was he about it? I would say not very much, but he did his best. I was nine years old when he died. I lived with my mum after his demise like I said before. But getting the talent, I'm sure the talent was definitely from him. My mum wasn't an actor or dancer or anything. He was my dad. He played a vital role in my life, in my career. Were you a normal school boy who your dream was to become a pilot, a lawyer? Was acting, did you know that this was the path? Yes, I've always known that art is my way, art is my path. Even though my mum never really wanted me to, because every mum in Nigeria, we either wanted to become a doctor, become a lawyer or become an engineer. But that was never my way. When I told her I was going to study art, she was like really. But she didn't argue it. She just allowed me to, which I really appreciate her for, she allowed me to go into it, she supported me. Is the Nigerian school system open to film and art? Is it strictly or is it leaning on the side of what we know the sciences? How is it in Nigeria? In Nigeria, we have film schools. We have film schools, we have theatre. Because while I was in Unilag, Unilag had three units. That's the University of Lagos. Under Creative Arts, we have the music department, we have the theatre department and we have the visual arts department. So I was into visual arts department. But while in school, the only thing that brought me money was more of the theatre arts. Because I was good in acting, I was good in dancing, I was a good singer, I was a good instrumentalist. So I gathered a couple of students together and took them out for shows. We made some money and were able to pay school fees and do other things. Nigeria is very famous for Hollywood. Is there one actor or actress in particular that you are looking up to? Honestly speaking, I have always said this in every interview. I never looked up to anyone because my craft is different. In Nigeria, there is a comic actor. There are these people we call the agboros. So these are the people I imitate. They are called touts in Nigeria. And there is a way to behave, there is a way to talk. So these are the people I imitate. And hardly will you find any actor who practices such in Nigeria. It makes me unique. It makes my brand different from others. So I never looked up to anyone. All I just do is learn from Mr. A, learn from Mr. B. What makes Mr. A better than Mr. B? Okay, I want to take from him. What I don't like from this person, I try to make myself better. And I stay original no matter what happens, because originality has really kept me to this point. And that is fact. As you mentioned, the comical acts are very unique. And that was quite different from what we know Nigerians from. Did you have a team or did you just start on your own? Did you just wake up one day, and then you posted it? Yes, honestly, I just woke up one day and I was tired of sleeping at home every day because I just finished school. In Lagos, there is a place we call the mainland and the island. The island is for the big boys, the rich people. We can afford to pay millions for houses and cars. So the mainland, we have rich people on the mainland as well because they might be watching this interview. And they might be saying, you have your money. But you get what I mean, right? So it's of the upper class and the lower class. Then when I came to the island, I only came for an audition for a movie. Since then, I didn't go back to the mainland because they chose me. I was picked for the role, and I had to live with one of the actors. We now became a friend. I started living with them. Then when they travelled to Abuja, Abuja is another state in Nigeria. I was left alone in the house, like four bedrooms and I was doing nothing. Every time I wake up, sleep, eat, so I now joined the theater group then. They wanted to shock, excuse me. They wanted to showcase the play. That was where I met my interviewer. I started with the interview skits where she asked Brother Shaggy, she asked questions, and I just responded in that character. So I just said, I'm tired of sleeping at home, waking up, and I just started with my phone. I started recording myself. The time I invited her to my side, I would shoot her. She would film me. Then after everything, I would edit and put out on the internet. So I was doing that, every day, I was in the back to back, every day before it started getting better, before the use of cameras and the team. Right now I have a team, but then I never had a team. It was just me and the girl. Which is that one clip that you did, that just changed the game for you? It was that interview where she asked me if I saw Jesus in Mushi, she asked if I saw Jesus in Mushi, how would I react. I was like, Jesus in Mushi, how would you exclude? I would tell Jesus, you must not leave me, you must give me money, I'm so funny. So it was funny, it was controversial, it was different. That was why people accepted it because I remember then, lots of people were talking, some people posted that it's blasphemy, how would I talk to Jesus like that? How would I say such a thing about Jesus? And I was like, okay, I'm sorry, I never meant it that way because this is actually the way a normal aggro would have spoken if asked that question. It was just me imitating, I was just an actor imitating a character. So I never meant it in the wrong way. I received some mails that I should bring down the video. The funny part was some lawyers even texted me on IG that they would sue me. I was like, on top of this, I was just like, you know what, I'm not bringing down this video. If I can be getting these comments and these followers all because of this video, I think this is it. Then I started doing more. But while doing more, I didn't do more about Jesus because I didn't want to. But I just held that character and improved that character. Drink from that. You might have received a bullying. You are trolled online. Which is that one comment that you saw and you're like, is this really what you think about me? See, honestly, as a creative, you get bullied. There is no how you want to avoid it. You get bullied. People will say different things. We live in a world of different choices. You can never be liked by everyone. So that's why I keep telling people, stay true to your craft because you love it. Some people love it. Some people will never like it. You cannot force them to like it. They might come back later to like it. But it's left to them. You don't have to prove anything. You don't have to say, yes, you must like it. Because by the time you start saying, okay, I want everyone to like it, then you start losing it. Because you are doing it particularly for a kind of people who don't really even give a damn about what you're doing. So I just stayed true to it. I kept on going. I saw different comments online. Twitter, Brasag is not forwarding. He shouts too much. It's too many comments. But I just ignored and kept going. One thing I don't do is reply its comments. Because it keeps getting worse. Nigerians are flourishing. We can see clips are going global. You are global. What do you think Nigeria is doing different? Honestly, I just feel, I feel Nigeria is Africa in all is talented. And the only difference that I think is affecting other countries is support from their citizens. You get what I mean? Support. You have to support your own. Most of us, we prefer to listen to American music than our own. Nigerian artists have tried to support their own. And they never give up. They always want to reach out to the world and sell Afro beats to the world. In the likes of David Doe, Whiskey, Buntner Boy or Mali they keep taking Afro beats to the world. They never said, I want to do, I want my style to be like the western style. And Nigerians, they support their own. Everywhere they support their own. You recently scoped an award at the Africa at the AMVC. Have you seen that right? AMVC A as the best actor in comedy. How was that moment for you? It was a big moment. I never expected it. And being nominated amongst those actors in that category I never really really expected it because we have actors who have been there before me. I just started as an online content creator. Then I won AMVC. It was my first time even attending the AMVC award. So I felt so good. I felt happy. It's a motivation for me. It's a motivation for every other online content creator. What you do online is not the end. You can do more. You can do more as long as you stay original. Because one thing for me is whatever I do I try to stay original to that character that brought me out. I don't want to deviate from it. Some people call it stereotyping. I know myself. I was a stage actor. For a stage actor it means a lot as an actor because you can easily play any role. I know my capability. I know what I can do. But when it comes to online comedy or when it comes to film online comedy already brought Brother Shaggy out. So people want to see more of Brother Shaggy. There's no need to prove to anyone that Brother Shaggy is a good actor. Yes, they will see it. This is what they know me for. So I want to stay on that character and build my character. How long did it take to start earning from your craft? To start earning from my craft. I think it was the year we started. It started earning as low as 35K. That was my first payment. 35K was big money to me. When someone said they were going to pay me money for my craft I felt wow. Okay, yes. Since then I just continued. Now that you're in Kenya who is your favorite 3 Kenyan comedians? I have so many of them. Mamito. I do forget his name. Crazy Kenyan. I love Crazy Kenyan. The last time I came we did something together. Eddie Kenzo. Jalango. So many of them. So many of them. What are we expecting from your stay in Kenya? Are you planning something for us? Is there a show there is? Shout it out. Okay, so there is a show tomorrow at Kitchenette Bristol and Cafe. That's tomorrow 28th Friday. It starts from 4pm to 10pm. I'm not just the only one who is going to be performing. Brain Jota is coming. You know Brain Jota. And also we will be having music. Victor is going to be there and others. So tomorrow you definitely have to be there. I don't know if this interview will be out before tomorrow. We will make sure it does. How have you been able to keep yourself relevant? Not fall off trap because we've seen there are some celebrities who come, they blow up and then they go missing. But you are consistent. Like I said before, originality speaks a lot. By the time you stay true to yourself, you just find yourself, you keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger every day. As long as you know you must be hard working, you can't give up because you know you are out there, you don't blow, you don't finish. No, you must keep creating new things every day. Because people get tired. People get tired of a particular kind of content. Because when I started with the interview skills, then at the time I moved to creating more online content with stories like dramas. And one thing about me is I write all my content myself. I write all my scripts. So I just keep creating, that's it. I just keep creating consistency. And I saw online that you are in Edo's 40th birthday. And you are dressed. Yes. Can you remember what you wore? Because I can't. Yes, I remember. I was wearing Tiana styling that night. I'm asking that because your style is very unique. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And I would want to know which is the most expensive pair of shoes you've ever worn? Ha. In US dollars. Honestly, I'm not like concerned about how much things I wear worth. You know, as long as I look good, that's it for me. As long as I look good, that's it. What is the craziest scenario you've ever had with a fan? Ha. The one that held me at Lego's airport and dragged my clothes. Ah, brother Shaggy. Calm down, guy. Easy, easy, easy. I'm not brother Shaggy now. I'm Sambo. Fans do a lot of crazy things. But it's just the life we live. They do that out of love. But some of them need to chill because we are all humans. Could brother be looking for Kenyan wife? Yes. I'm here twice. If there's Kenyan wife that's looking for me. I'm single. Forget all these rings, though. A lot of breathing. I'm single. Thank you. Thank you so much for talking to us. That was fun. Remember to catch his show tomorrow. We're going to post the details. So make sure you come and watch brother Shaggy. All right. It's okay brother Shaggy number one fan bag. But I'm not popping blast skin, boy. Any question of the day? It's me. Your fan keep watching. SPM buzz. Don't touch the die. If you touch the die, electric is shock you. It's shock you. Mwah.
