Show notes

Can you imagine being an internet sensation at age 23 after building and maintaining a much-loved brand as a comedian, content creator, influencer, Youtuber and podcaster for 3 years? This is the story of Ogechi Ukonu popularly known as Caramel. On the third episode of Tea With Tay, Temisan is joined by the bubbling internet star and she takes us back to her childhood days when she knew no boundaries or barriers. Caramel also clues us in on her rise to fame; a televised bonnet-clad rant on Game of Thrones and shortly after, a cosign from Wizkid who shared her reaction video to his song "Joro" on his Instagram feed. Fast forward to the present with over 1 million followers on Instagram and followers in hundreds of thousands on other platforms, Caramel is seated on Temisan's couch after having gone through a publicised breakup and a fair share of scandals that is enough to rock any brand off its centre. Yet, to the star's surprise, she shares that this period has been one where she witnessed an influx of gigs, sharing with Tay how this has in fact culminated in the purchase of a car. Admitting her tendency to not display vulnerability on the internet, Caramel lays bare her experience dealing with depression so deep she was unable to recognise herself. She also speaks on the emotions that triggered her publicised breakdown while battling allegations of being a victim of domestic violence. Wrapping off with a strong closer, Caramel and Temisan speak at length about friendships and the need to have a support system as well as faith in God. This episode represents the essence of the coming-of-age arc and is a must-listen for everyone who needs to face their flaws in a bid to get better. This episode is for me and you.
