Armed with a 2 master’s degrees, and the viral catch phrase “everlasting bastard” Damilola Olatunde or AphricanApe as he is known on the interned has fast taken over Instagram with his hilarious sketches.

With a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a Masters in Business administration, one would think that Dami’s success tip would have something to do with money. But it turned out to be the opposite …

“Never do it for the fame or money. Do it because you love it, because it’s your passion. Doing it for fame is why a lot of people don’t succeed, because they give up after a short time of trying and not becoming famous.”

And for those that have had the opportunity to work with him, his humility is ubiquitous … from his videos to his embrace of his fans. This is definitely a humble and talented individual that is not driven by money but one destined to make lots of it.

Surprisingly unlike the conservative degree-addicted African parents he plays in his skits, his Parents on the other hand have been greatly supportive.

“To my utmost surprise, my parents have been my biggest supporters. I guess on this issue, my parents were not the typical African parents that I usually play in my videos.”

And true to his words, his parents have been very supportive even being featured in his videos as seen below.
