Biography

EARLY LIFE

Isaac Ayomide Olayiwola was born on 11 July 1998 in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. He lived most of his early life in Osogbo with his mother and brother after his father passed away when he was approximately two years old. He was raised by his mother, uncles, and extended family. His comedic talent was noticeable from a young age as he entertained friends and family with his wit and humor. He completed his primary and secondary education in Osun State before attending university.

CAREER

Layi Wasabi is a Nigerian comedian, actor, and social media content creator known for his satirical, character-driven skits that often feature deadpan humor, social commentary, and relatable Nigerian scenarios—particularly his signature “lawyer” persona and portrayals of corrupt officials. He began creating content around 2015–2020 and gained widespread popularity through viral skits on TikTok and Instagram starting in 2021. His style avoids typical comedy tropes like sound effects or objectifying content, focusing instead on sharp observation and everyday absurdities. He transitioned into Nollywood acting while continuing digital content creation. He has appeared in films like, Aníkúlápó: Rise of the Spectre (2023), Adire (2023, as Bar man), Everybody Loves Jenifa (2024, as Rex), After 30 (2025), Alter Call (2026, as a robber). He continues to produce content on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, often expanding his “lawyer” universe in longer-form sketches.

PERSONAL LIFE

Layi Wasabi maintains a relatively private personal life. He has spoken publicly about the impact of losing his father at a young age, which influenced his resilience, empathy, and approach to comedy. He has stated that he does not have a girlfriend and only started going on dates in 2022, while also noting that he does not subscribe to the conventional idea of a “girlfriend.”
