If you haven’t heard the name Boy SF (sf_dboy) yet, you’ve definitely heard his voice. You know that viral skit—the one where someone says, “If you give me $50, I’ll give you a thousand dollars back”? Yeah, that was him.
We sat down with the man himself to talk vision, the struggle of being “too creative,” and why you don’t need to “dress ugly” to be funny. Buckle up—this is the blueprint for the next generation of African creators!
For Boy SF, it’s not just about making a video; it’s about building a brand. When you hear “SF,” he wants you to think of one thing: Absolute Creativity. From entertainment to music and film, he’s not just playing the game—he’s changing the rules.
Here is a major truth bomb for all my up-and-coming creators: Where you are matters. > “Location is a very underrated factor in growth… I wish I knew that early and prepared to relocate to a major city like Ibadan or Lagos sooner.”
If you want the collaborations and the impressions, you have to be where the heartbeat of the industry is. Don’t wait—move!
Boy SF admits his journey hasn’t been easy. Why? Because his content is unique. In a world of “relatable” Nigerian comedy, he’s doing something different, something “out of the box.”
- The Struggle: The algorithm doesn’t always “get” it immediately.
- The Payoff: Staying true to his skill and confidence has led to massive personal growth.
Gone are the days when you had to powder your face or dress in rags to get a laugh. Boy SF is on a mission to make fresh guys cool again. > “I want to entertain and reach the heights without having to powder myself or dress ugly. You can be FUNNY and FRESH.“
He’s not stopping at skits. Get ready for:
- Unique Music: Afro-vibe-ish sounds that keep that signature SF uniqueness.
- Streaming: Dominating your digital screens.
- Movie Roles: Keep an eye out for him on the big screen—the auditions are in motion!
Boy SF’s parting advice is a wake-up call: Don’t wait on anybody. Friends and family might not see the vision as clearly as you do, and that’s okay. If you spend all your energy trying to convince others to help, you’ll be too drained to actually create. Do what you can on your own and TAKE OFF!
