Content creator Oluwadolarz has revealed that he got the stage name during his time as a stand-up comedian.
Speaking in an interview with Open Up Podcast, he stated that brands avoided him thinking he was a fraudster.
He said, “My stage name started with “Dolarz” first in 2010 when I was doing stand-up comedy. People started calling me “Dolarz” because I cracked a joke about the dollar rising and falling at the time.
“So whenever people are with me, they forget my real name and call me Dolarz because that’s the joke they can remember.
“Around 2014, I started saying “Oluwa is involved” so when people call me Dolarz, I will reply “Oluwa is involved ” and that’s how Oluwadolarz was coined.
“However, because of the name, a lot of people thought I was one yahoo boy or bad guy. Some brands did not even want to be associated with me because of the misconception that I’m just a Yahoo boy trying to cover up with comedy.
“So, I had to start explaining how the name was coined and its meaning.”
