For Hameed Ibrahim, also known online as Hamzzy or Hamzzythecreator, content creation didn’t start with high-end gear or viral fame, it began with a humble BlackBerry phone and a big imagination.
Passion to document or create funny moments started from childhood. Long before he became a Samsung brand influencer with millions of fans across social platforms, he was a young boy with dreams.
He attended Ajangbadi High School in Lagos, before which he seldom recorded playful skits with his siblings using his father’s old phone.
The difficulties he encountered at the onset were grossly insufficient to discourage him from becoming one of the youngest successful content creators in Nigeria, not necessarily as a comedian, a space that naturally attracts Nigerians online, but as a content creator with a unique style in 2023.
“Those little moments meant a lot to me because they made me realize how much I love creating and entertaining people. Fast forward to 2023, I had started working, saved up, and finally bought myself a brand-new phone with a good camera. That’s when I told myself, “This is it. It’s time to build my dream,’” Hameed Ibrahim disclosed.
”Since then, I’ve been fully focused on creating, growing, and building something real out of what once felt like a childhood fantasy. It’s been an amazing journey — from that old BlackBerry to where I am now, I’m just getting started.”
Uniquely gifted with the brilliance of expression, creativity, and visuals instead of talking in his videos, while Hamzzythecreator’s skits caught attention of millions of fans across the world, his compelling content on comparison between major global brands grabbed the attention of leading mobile phone maker, Samsung.
Hamzzy signed in as an influencer for the South Korean company, underlining how deep his content resonates among those amused by his creativity.
“Signing ambassadorial deals definitely boosted my financial status. It helped me turn my creativity into real income and gave me more stability to invest in better equipment and projects. But beyond the money, it also showed me that brands truly value what I do, and that keeps me motivated to go even harder,” Hameed Ibrahim revealed.
“I’m still a brand influencer for Samsung Mobile. I became one because I genuinely love their products and have always promoted their phones through my content that consistency caught their attention”,said Hamzzy.
