Who is Lasisi?

Lasisi Elenu, whose real name is Nosa Afolabi but is fondly called Lasisi, is a social media influencer and also a Nigerian comedian who posts comic videos on Snapchat and Instagram, with a strong following of 2.2m on Instagram which he began in 2017.

He has also been described as Nigeria’s No, 1 Ranter, an Event MC, and moderator, an actor, content creator, singer, and rapper. The phrase “SumJusAppenRightNow” was gotten from his usual intro in each of his videos where he begins by saying – “Laisisi is here again, something just happened right now.” It can be safely said that the comedian popularised the use of the “wide-mouth” filter – found on Instagram and Snapchat – in Nigeria.

Rise To Fame 

Lasisi started posting his video skits on Instagram in August of 2017. At first, the response was not so encouraging but he kept at it and his following gradually grew. Today, the young social media influencer boasts of a large following Instagram and Snapchat, as well as Twitter
