In an interview with GistLover, Syd spoke about how some of the industry’s biggest names supported his growth when he was just starting out.
In his words:
“Some of the people who inspired me to become a content maker when I first started in 2019 are Sydney Talker, De General, Gentuu, and Saint Bellington. They encouraged me because we all attended the same university (University of Benin, Edo State).
In addition, Crazeclown, Broda Shaggi, Josh2funny, and Lasisi Elenu inspired me. Blogger Tunde Ednut also promoted me for free.”
Speaking on how Sydney Talker’s work impacted him, he said:
“I love the way he shoots his content and he has been able to grow his followers with his level of creativity over the years.”
When asked what he learned from Sydney Talker’s consistency, Syd replied:
“Sydney Talker started some years ago and his name is still on the lips of his fans. That’s a big deal for a content creator and I want my fans to see me in that light.”
He also shared one of the challenges he currently faces in content creation:
“Getting casts to shoot some specific skits is difficult. It’s not always easy to find the right person to play certain roles.”
With over a million followers on Instagram, Syd explained what drew him into skit making in the first place:
“I began off as a hobby and hoped to make money from it, but in the end, I didn’t take it seriously enough to make money. I was only interested about making others happy. I didn’t care about the money anymore because I enjoyed doing it whether I was paid or not.”
