  "account": "Content creator Isbae U, also known as Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, recently opened up about his inspiration for the popular interview series, \"Curiosity Made Me Ask.\" Speaking during an interview on The Morayo Show, Isbae U expressed his desire to create something different from skit-making, which he had previously explored in various forms such as acting, singing, and rapping. He explained that he wanted to distance himself from being average and part of the skit-making crowd.\n\nThe idea for the series came from watching a show called \"Between Two Ferns\" by Zach Galifianakis, which Isbae U found inspiring. He liked the concept of asking celebrities unconventional questions and revealing a different side of them to the public. Isbae U noted that he was often nervous before interviewing older and more established personalities but received warm welcomes and encouragement from them to be themselves.\n\nSince launching the series, Isbae U has interviewed notable figures such as former President Olusegun Obasanjo, actor Peter Edochie, and entertainer Charly Boy. His goal is to continue creating content and explore new formats, while also writing stories for other creators behind the scenes. He emphasized that the aim of \"Curiosity Made Me Ask\" is not just to ask celebrities conventional questions but to offer a fresh perspective on their lives.",
