SDK, a content creator and comedian, has shared the obstacles he encountered when he began producing content, revealing that he did not possess a personal phone and frequently utilized his sister's or a friend's devices. On Behind the Hustle, a program aired on 3Xtra, SDK disclosed that securing a device was his greatest challenge.
"I didn't have a phone of my own. I was usually shooting and editing with my sister's phone. And most of the time, she went to work without her phone because I needed it for shooting. Sometimes, when she wasn't around, I had to ask my friend to lend his phone. That was the most difficult aspect when I was starting out." He also recounted the frustration of dedicating days to creating content, posting it, and receiving little engagement.
"I would spend days shooting content, post it, and it would flop. You would feel bad and start questioning yourself about what you're doing wrong. But it's fine; it's part of the journey. When you come to understand the work, you'll keep pushing. It is normal." Reflecting on his evolution as a creator, SDK noted that some of his older content now makes him realize how much he has progressed over the years.
"I made one piece of content about eight years ago. I thought it was a joke, but later on, I came across that content and realized that if it were made now, I wouldn't have shot that content."
