The name Samuel Animashaun Perry may not ring a bell; that is because he is widely and better known as Broda Shaggi.
In a recent interview with Allure Vanguard, Broda Shaggi, revealed what he would like to change about himself, “I would like to change the fact that I don’t like going out. I really want to explore different places and have fun but I am not really that fun person. I love being alone writing and doing all kinds of creative activities. I am an introvert, I want to change that.”
When asked if he had dreams of being this famous, the Instagram comedian, “To be honest, yes! It has always been my dream; it has always been my prayer. I always wanted to see myself in a very big place. Fortunately, that is what we are seeing now. I am not there yet; I am still a work in progress. I didn’t know I would become big this soon, but I think this is as a result of hard work and consistency and I am happy. As things are now, I look forward to breaking more grounds and being more celebrated in this craft. Grace found me and I do not take it for granted. I want to perform on bigger stages in the international scene. It is happening gradually; I want more.”
As a comedian, do people take Broda Shaggi seriously outside? She says, “It depends. For people who know that Broda Shaggi has double personality, they identify with me properly. I have Broda shaggi and I have Samuel’s personality. Those who know me personally, know how serious I can be when I am not in Broda shaggi character. My fans who have not encountered me closely believe I am Broda Shaggi everywhere. Whenever they see me, they would prefer to experience the comedian part of me, which is very hard most times. I do try as much as possible to separate my art from who I am; though it is not so easy to achieve, I try to make it happen.”
