Top 10 Nigerian TikTokers who blew up this year (and how they did it)

2025 has been a blockbuster year for Nigerian TikTok creators, with a new wave of talent taking over the platform with bold ideas, unforgettable content, and viral moments. From digital comedians to fashion icons, these creators are not just chasing trends, they’re setting them.

Here are 10 Nigerian TikTokers who made massive waves this year and exactly how they pulled it off:

1. Jarvis (aka Jardrolita) — @realjadrolita

Jarvis, whose real name is Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, has redefined what it means to “act like a robot” — literally. Known for her eerily accurate impersonation of artificial intelligence and NPC (non-playable character) behavior, she became a viral sensation thanks to her mechanical movements, deadpan expressions, and monotone delivery.

Jarvis’s character, inspired by the name “Just A Rather Very Intelligent System,” gave her a distinct identity in Nigeria’s content space. From donning full AI-style costumes to launching viral livestreams, she created a futuristic niche nobody saw coming.

Recently, she’s made headlines for both her content pivot — following surgery — and her public relationship with fellow TikToker Peller.

2. Peller (Habeeb Hamzat) — @peller08

If there’s a crown for African streamers, Peller is wearing it. The 19-year-old from Ikorodu smashed records with 270,000 concurrent live viewers, setting the benchmark for African streaming. Known for his raw, sarcastic commentary and comedic edge, Peller became an online favorite in 2023 and only doubled down in 2025.

He snagged the “Best Content Creator” award at the Trace Awards, collaborated with music giants like Olamide and Dax, and kept fans hooked with unpredictable livestreams and personal updates — especially his budding romance with Jarvis.

3. Modola — @modola_

Smart, stylish, and sharp-tongued — Modola is the queen of comedic delivery. With her polished British accent and ability to switch between Yoruba and Pidgin like a pro, Modola brings sophistication and sass to every skit.

She’s featured in over 100 comedy videos alongside stars like Mr. Macaroni and Broda Shaggi, but her fiery roast sessions with Ibrahim Amokun are what sent her viral this year. Their series — part skit, part drag fest — has turned into must-watch content on TikTok and YouTube.

4. Rodney (The Wisdom Man) — @r0dn3y

Rodney Odinakachi Umeh blends sharp humour with real-life lessons — which is why fans call him “The Wisdom Man.” His calm delivery and thoughtful punchlines make every skit more than just entertainment — they’re mini TED Talks wrapped in comedy.

Starting out in 2020, Rodney has since grown into one of the most respected and loved creators on Nigerian TikTok.

5. Wisdom Kaye — @wisdm8

High fashion meets high engagement. Wisdom Kaye, the Nigerian-American style icon, has taken TikTok’s fashion scene to cinematic levels. Known for his editorial-worthy outfits inspired by anime, comics, and pop culture, Wisdom blew up globally — culminating in his Met Gala appearance in a Robert Wun masterpiece.

He’s one of the few Nigerian-born creators fusing fashion and viral content at a global scale.

6. Peace Pever (Purple Speedy) — @purplespeedy

Dance lovers, meet your queen. Peace Pever, aka Purple Speedy, became one of the most recognizable faces on Nigerian TikTok this year. Her fast-paced dance moves, infectious energy, and comedic flair have earned her millions of fans.

She’s also one half of a powerhouse duo with her partner, Crispdal — their chemistry on camera is part of the magic.

7. Crispdal (Chinye Elijah) — @crispdal

Crispdal doesn’t just dance — he bends time. Known for his jaw-dropping slow-motion routines and intricate breakdance moves, this content creator and influencer has made every video feel like a spectacle.

Alongside Purple Speedy, he’s taken TikTok choreography to a new level and collaborated with several music and lifestyle brands in the process.

8. Agent of Laughter — @agentoflaughter

Godson Chukwuebuka Eze, aka Agent of Laughter, is a skit-maker who’s built his name on character comedy and classic Naija humor. From his early days imitating Twyse to creating his own comedic universe, he’s now one of TikTok’s most consistently funny creators.

His content blends everyday frustrations with exaggerated characters, and he’s grown his fanbase steadily through collabs with other top creators.

9. Sol Twins (Jose & Jesse) — @soltwins

Double the talent, double the energy. Jose and Jesse, the identical twin brothers better known as the Sol Twins, have won over TikTokers with their ultra-synchronized dance routines and hilarious sibling skits.

Whether they’re pulling pranks or pulling off flawless choreography, they’ve become the go-to twins for entertaining content in 2025.

10. Skinycomics — @skinycomics

Farouq Yusuf and Hammed Ibrahim — the brains behind Skinycomics — are bringing Nigerian culture and street-smart satire to your screen in the most creative ways.

They started out in 2022 but blew up this year thanks to a viral food reaction video and a series of hyper-relatable skits. Their unique editing style, expressive acting, and cultural storytelling have turned them into TikTok royalty, with over 7 million followers and counting.
