“I Stopped Being Human in 2023” – Skitmaker Gorilla Guy Explains Why Acting Like an Ape Changed His Life

Nigerian skitmaker Chekwas Okorie Michael, popularly known as Gorilla Guy, has shared the bold truth behind his unique online persona — acting like a gorilla. And in his own words, "That’s what puts food on my table."

In a candid video posted to Instagram, the viral content creator revealed that his decision to drop the “fine boy lifestyle” and embrace the outrageous image of a gorilla has transformed his life and career.

🗣️ "As a Gorilla, I’ve Achieved 5x More Than As a Human"

“I stopped being a human being in 2023. I started being a gorilla and in just 2 years, I’ve achieved times 5 of what I achieved all my life as a human being,” Gorilla Guy declared.

He explained how trying to act normal and maintain a regular image brought little to no success — but the moment he embraced the wild character, his career exploded.

“When I was a human being, what did I really achieve? You’ll be forming fine boy, but nothing’s in your pocket. It’s all about the hustle.”

🙌 A Symbol of Creative Survival

In a country where young creatives constantly battle economic instability, Gorilla Guy’s story reflects the reality of thinking outside the box to survive. His message?

“Do whatever it takes to survive — legally.”

Now with a growing fanbase, brand collaborations, and financial stability, Gorilla Guy says he has no shame in being called ‘gorilla’ in public.

“If you see me in public and call me gorilla, I’ll call you human being. I don’t even care.”

🧠 Opinion: Absurd or Genius?

Love it or hate it, Gorilla Guy is a product of hustle culture and content evolution. His story echoes that of many Nigerian youths who’ve had to throw away pride and pursue what works, even if it breaks societal norms.
