I had a brief conversation with a couple of boys in a London school where I carry out some of my educational work. The debate was about these two popular You Tube entertainers, KSI Olajide BT and T-BOY, AKA 'Don't Jealous Me'. The big question is who is more popular?
I have discovered that both of these entertainers are NIGERIAN and are quite successful. Here are their biographies:
'Don’t Jealous Me'
Tolulope “T-Boy” Ogunmefun AKA “Don’t Jealous Me' is a YouTuber and comedian from Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State in Nigeria. Tolu was born and raised in Hackney, East London. He was sent to school in Nigeria. After a few years Tolu returned to England to finish his studies. While at university sometime in 2008, he recorded a comical rant on camera titled ‘Don’t Jealous Me’. His friend uploaded the video onto Facebook and it went viral.
