Comedian Destalker Reveals: Tried Internet Fraud, But His Kind Heart Shut It Down
Nigerian comedy star Destalker just dropped a bombshell confession that’s got fans cracking up and nodding in agreement—turns out, before he was roasting audiences worldwide, he dipped a toe into the shady world of internet scams, only to bail because he couldn’t stomach the deceit.
In a raw chat on the In-House Gist podcast, the funnyman, real name Desmond Onaibe, spilled the tea on his pre-comedy hustle. Back in Enugu, a buddy—now Reverend Nelson Umeh, a full-fledged pastor—lured him into “Yahoo Yahoo,” Nigeria’s infamous slang for online fraud. But Destalker? He crashed and burned faster than a bad punchline.
“I couldn’t do it. I am too kindhearted,” he admitted, his voice laced with that signature mix of humor and hindsight. Picture this: Late nights at a cyber cafe, scripting fake emails to lure victims, but every time he’d hit send, guilt would crash the party. “It was not my destiny. I can’t defraud a person,” he said. That friend footing the bill for his browsing sessions? Yeah, even that free ride couldn’t override his moral compass.
Fast-forward, and Destalker’s pivot to comedy feels like fate’s plot twist. He credits those early flops for forging his unbreakable confidence. “Because of all that I went through, I have grown so confident that no one can stop me from achieving my goal,” he shared. And boy, has he proven it—rising from underground gigs to headlining sold-out shows, all while dodging industry gatekeepers.
Not that the comedy road was a straight shot. Destalker called out jealous peers who tried to blacklist him from big events, sneering that he’d never blow without their nod. His clapback? “I told them that I would blow even without performing there. And I did.” Ouch. Today, those gigs are ghosts, and some rivals? Faded into irrelevance. It’s a classic underdog tale, wrapped in laughs and laced with shade.
Social media’s eating this up like free jollof rice. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes and praise, one user quipping, “Destalker too soft for fraud, but hard enough to slay stages—peak Nigerian energy!” Another chimed in: “From Yahoo fails to comedy wins. God’s got jokes.” Even skeptics are turning fans, with comments like, “This why we stan: Real talk over fake flex.”
For young hustlers scrolling this, Destalker’s story hits different—proof that ditching the dark side for your true vibe pays off big. In a scene rife with quick-money temptations, his “kindhearted” flex is a reminder: Scams might promise fast cash, but authenticity builds empires. Plus, who needs fraud bucks when you’re banking on sold-out tours?
As In-House Gist clips go viral, expect Destalker’s star to shine brighter. He’s not just surviving the game; he’s rewriting the rules, one honest laugh at a time. What’s next for this fraud-failed phenom? More stages, more stories, and zero regrets.
