Renowned content creator, Layi Wasabi, whose real name is Isaac Olayiwola, has shared the story of how a breakup with his girlfriend played a pivotal role in kickstarting his career.
Speaking at a recent event, Layi explained that prior to the breakup, he would often make humorous videos and share them only with his close friends. His friends enjoyed the content, but Layi did not initially think of pursuing it on a larger scale.
He noted that he would always make funny videos and send them to his friends who found it amusing.
But when his girlfriend left him, he felt like he had nothing to lose and began dropping his funny videos till they began going viral.
Layi Wasabi revealed that after his first, second and third viral video, the ex-girlfriend called him.
He said …
“I would do some funny videos, I wouldn’t share it with people. But I would show it to my friends. So when things ended with this particular person because I wasn’t showing seriousness with my life. I didn’t have anything to lose, I started to spam you people. I started to drop content on a daily basis and as God would have it I had my first viral video, I had my second viral video, I had my third viral video, then she called me. That was the journey. It was something I was passionate about and I worked towards it relentlessly.”
