A content creator and actor, Sydney Iwundu, also known as Syd Iwundu, has shared how his siblings supported him when he started his career in 2019.

According to the content creator, he began making skits in 2019 after gaining admission to the University of Benin in Edo State. His younger brother, Bright Iwundu, shot his video, and his first-ever content was with his sister, Jennifer Iwundu.

On his inspiration, he said, “The likes of Sydney Talker, De General, Gentuu and Saint Bellington gingered me because we were all in the same university. The likes of Crazeclown, Broda Shaggi, Josh2funny, and Lasisi Elenu inspired me. Also, blogger Tunde Ednut promoted me for free.”

Speaking about his challenges in the industry, Iwundu said, “Getting casts to shoot some particular skits can be challenging. It is not always easy to get who I want to interpret some roles with.”

He stated that his first endorsement, which paid him millions of naira, was in 2020/2021, and after that, in 2021, he moved into a two-bedroom apartment.

He also shared his aspirations as a content creator, saying, “I would love to go into film production. I am transitioning into movies soon because I don’t just create normal skits, and I try to work with movie actors and actresses in my content.”
