Career[edit]

Temidayo was born and raised in Lagos, he is originally from Ekiti State.[5] Temidayo is a graduate of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic[6], with a higher national diploma in Business Administration.[7] He started music after high school in 2011,[8] Temidayo at the age of 19 won a music talent competition called "The One Mic Campus Tour" in Abeokuta, Ogun state.[9] He first came into the Nigerian music scene in 2017 when he released a single titled "My body" where he featured Olamide.[10] The song went viral when a video of Davido dancing to the song surfaced online, and that was the beginning of his friendship with Davido.[11]

I started music when I finished SSCE in 2011. While waiting for admission, I started following my friends to the studio and I got influenced. But I was a church boy, I played drums and I had a knowledge of music. When my friends said they wanted me to be part of a song, I agreed. It was a rap song and people loved my part. It started gradually from there and I went ahead to win a car when the then Airtel organised a rap competition in my school, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic.

Temidayo followed up in 2018 with an appearance on "Able God", a hit song by Chinko Ekun that featured Lil Kesh as well.[12] Then he dropped "Zanku" soon after with a new dance routine titled the same name.[13] Another song featuring Davido was released before the end of 2018, called "Osanle".[14] Temidayo started 2019 with the release of Glory before appearing on another hit single alongside Burna Boy, the song is titled "Killin dem".

Controversy[edit]

In 2017, a video of a 9 year old kid named Segun surfaced on Instagram talking about he wants to be an internet fraudster.[15] It turned out the boy was just a goofy kid who loves to play around. Temidayo opened up an Instagram account for the boy and started promoting him as a comedian. Temidayo helped the boy into a new private school and cleaned him up. In 2018, things turned sour when It was reported that Temidayo was using the 9 year old Segun as a means to extort people.[16] It was also reported that some thugs related to the family of the kid attacked and assaulted Temidayo,[17][18] which led to the end of his relationship with the kid.[19]
