Seniorman Layla has shared with to TikTok content creator Papa Jay how Dr. Likee played a pivotal role in his rise to prominence as a skit maker and comedian.
Seniorman Layla revealed that he faced significant financial challenges at the start of his career and struggled to transform his creative ideas into tangible projects.
Despite gaining popularity through his content, he found himself still financially constrained, grappling with the tough realities of his endeavours.
It was during this challenging period that a friend named Prosper introduced him to Dr. Likee, who was already a well-known figure in the skit-making industry.
“A friend of mine called Prosper, who has travelled to the US, knew Dr Likee. Dr Likee used to watch my videos, but he did not know that I was staying at Bremang. He thought I was staying in Accra or somewhere else. He came to visit Prosper one day and informed him of my whereabouts.
Given his widespread popularity and ongoing financial difficulties, he was hesitant to meet Dr. Likee due to feelings of embarrassment regarding his circumstances; however, he ultimately decided to go ahead with the meeting.
“I went to see Dr Likee at UGC. He thought I had made money from my skits. He didn’t recognise me. I was very hungry.
“He was surprised to see me in my state. I told him my story, and he was even sorrowful. He was the one who motivated me and assured me everything would be fine,” he said.
