Comedian Josh2Funny has spoken out in defense of the so-called "Olodo Uprising" in Nigeria's entertainment industry. The term, coined by rapper YCee, refers to the rise of brain-rot content creators and illiterate/semi-illiterate social media influencers. Josh2Funny argued that the rise of these creators is both a blessing and a curse.
He stated that comedy was never intended to be intelligent and that the so-called elite may label it as "stupid." However, Josh2Funny emphasized that this type of comedy has built a multi-million dollar industry in Nigeria's film sector, Nollywood. He further noted that social media has amplified the phenomenon, making certain personalities like Peller more visible.
Josh2Funny also addressed the envy some people feel towards these creators for their success despite lacking formal education or fluency in English. He questioned the moral responsibility of such critics, asking if they would advocate for a life of crime if someone were not educated or articulate.
