The 39-year-old claimed that before starting his rib-cracking business, he worked as an undertaker.
He revealed this while participating in the most recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, which he co-hosts with Nedu, a.k.a. actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel.
The Delta-born comedian said after graduating from the university, he worked as a commercial motorcyclist, aka okada, mortician, and sales boy.
Destalker said, “I started as an okada [commercial motorcyclist] as a graduate. From Okada, I did undertaker. I worked as a sales boy in Enugu.”
