Less than two years ago, Ziggy was relatively unknown on TikTok. Today, he boasts over 460,000 followers and 4.8 million likes.
"I love his videos. He's hilarious," said one of his followers.
Based in Europe, Ziggy has become one of the most popular Gambian TikTokers, with a large fan base in Senegal. Many of his followers regularly join his live sessions to share jokes and banter.
His rise to fame is attributed to his shift from engaging in unnecessary drama to focusing on comedy, particularly by humorously reacting to controversial Senegalese videos circulating on social media.
One of his most successful videos, in which he reacts to a Senegalese woman dancing provocatively, has garnered over 3.7 million views, making it the most-watched video on his page.
Ziggy's TikTok live sessions also attract a sizable audience, mostly young Senegalese fans who admire his humor and style.
With his growing popularity, Ziggy is likely to secure advertising deals from Gambian and Senegalese companies, which could lead him to leave his current job and pursue content creation full-time.
