Popular Instagram comedian and actor Samuel Animashaun Perry who is more popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has said during an interview that one of the toughest things about being him is that people always find it difficult to separate the real him Samuel Perry and his comic character “Broda Shaggi”.

Also during his interview with Allure Vanguard, Broda Shaggi, also revealed one thing 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.”
