Nigerian comedian and content creator, Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, popularly known as Bae U Barbie, has explained why he quit skit-making for podcasting.
Bae U said he took the decision after becoming tired of being ‘average’ and sought to create content that would distinguish him from other skit makers.
He disclosed this in a recent episode of The Moraya Show, where he said the idea for his popular talk show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, emerged while he was trying to rediscover himself.
According to him, he wanted to explore something different rather than continue along the path taken by other skit makers.
‘The concept of Curiosity Made Me Ask came from me finding myself. I was tired of being average and wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to be like the skit makers. A show called ‘Between Two Fence’ by Zack inspired Curiosity Made Me Ask,’ he said.
Bae U also revealed that his biggest career ambition is to interview United States President, Donald Trump.
Since launching Curiosity Made Me Ask, the content creator has hosted several prominent Nigerians, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, veteran actor Pete Edochie and television host Frank Edoho.
