Popular skit maker and content creator Kamo State has opened up about his early career aspirations, revealing that he once dreamed of becoming a lawyer before life circumstances led him to pursue a career in the performing arts.
In an interview with fellow entertainer Tobi Makinde, Kamo State shared how financial struggles and his mother’s worries about funding his education influenced his decision to abandon law for a more creative path.
“I wanted to be a lawyer. But I was raised by a single mom alongside my siblings. My sister and I got university admission at the same time, and it was hard for my mom to sponsor both of us. She asked me, ‘Are you sure you want to do this? Who will sponsor you?’ That made me rethink everything,” he recalled.
Instead, Kamo State decided to follow his passion for entertainment, studying Performing Arts and later venturing fully into content creation — a move that eventually paid off.
He also revealed that he had been creating content since 2012, starting at the age of seven, but his major breakthrough came during the 2019/2020 lockdown period, which brought him widespread attention.
“I’ve been doing content since 2012, but my big break came in 2019, and you all know how things exploded during the 2020 lockdown,” he said.
Today, Kamo State is one of Nigeria’s fast-rising comedy and skit creators, known for his relatable content and vibrant social media presence.
