Tunde Ednut is a popular social media influencer from Nigeria. His popularity has earned him a fair share of both plaudits and, of course, controversies. However, there’s more to him than just his Instagram blog where he shares a wide range of information. In this post, we’ll talk about Tunde Ednut’s biography, birthday, net worth, and how he makes his money.

Tunde Ednut talks with a lot of volumes. Therefore, with his comparably smaller number of followers, he’s able to attract a lot of attention. His posts get more engagement than some other celebrities with a higher number of followers.

His sense of humour has been his selling point so far. And that explains the huge engagement he enjoys on his Instagram page.

Meanwhile, he tried out so many things before finally settling for his true calling.

Biography

Tunde Ednut is a Nigerian comedian, singer, and blogger. Meanwhile, he prefers to be tagged simply as an entertainer. He was born in Katsina, which is located in the northwestern part of Nigeria. However, he is of Yoruba descent from Kabba, Kogi state.

Tunde was born on the 20th of January, around the 80s. At the moment, though, his exact year of birth isn’t certain, as he has never disclosed it in any of the interviews he has offered.

The entertainer spent the early days of his childhood in Katsina where he was born before moving to Lagos with his family in the 90s.

He obtained primary school education at Cambridge International School which is located at Ilasamaja, Lagos.

As for his secondary school education, he attended the popular Kogi-based boarding school, Federal Government College, Ugwalawo. Then, he started tertiary education at the University of Lagos before proceeding to Kingsland University, London, where he obtained a degree in Graphic Arts.

During an interview session with 9jaOlofofo, he revealed that both of his parents were lecturers. Also, he disclosed that he is the second born child, though firstborn son, out of three children.

His parents were not rich; however, they were very comfortable growing up, according to him.

Career in comedy

Venturing into the world of entertainment, Tunde Ednut started out as a comedian. His sense of humour quickly earned him a lot of attention.

In 2007, he performed at the Dynamic Night awards. His performance at the show earned him recognition and popularity. Thereafter, he received an invitation to perform in the UK. It was during that time he became a household name in the world of comedy.

However, his career in comedy was short-lived, as he had other plans in mind.

Music Career

During an interview session with SoundCity in 2014, Tunde Ednut disclosed that he’s an entertainer and that he wanted to entertain people with both music and sitcoms.

However, he, later on, gave up comedy for music, disclosing that his reason for switching was that ‘music was stress-free unlike comedy’ during an interview with 9jaolofofo.

“I’ve always loved music. My comedy then was always centred around music in Nigeria. I always use to part songs with alto, tenor and all that and then I got encouraged by loads of people for me try out singing and mixing comedy together,” he said.

Tunde Ednut released some slightly popular songs including, ‘Baby boo’ and ‘Jingle Bell Bell’. But the song that earned him the most acclamation is ‘Catching Cold’ which he subsequently remixed featuring then Mo’ Hits singer, Dr. Sid.

Meanwhile, his musical career was also short-lived, just like his career in comedy

Controversies

Tunde Ednut’s popularity has earned him a fair share of controversy. Meanwhile, he has deliberately landed in some of them for the sake of publicity, like he admitted during an interview with HIP TV for the June 2014, shirtless picture saga.

He also got into a theft scandal after music producer, Shizzy accused him of ‘stealing’ his beat for ‘Kosowo’.

Some of the popular celebrities he’s gotten into fights with include Speed Darlington, Bobrisky, Tonto Dikeh, to name a few.

He has also, on many occasions, displayed absolute disdain for Wizkid, although it is not clear what exactly transpired between them.

For example, he’s fond of calling Davido ‘the real StarBoy’, and that gesture has not gone down well with a lot of Wizkid fans. That has, nevertheless, made him desist from doing that.
