At the ceremony, the baby boy was named Olamide Babatunde Ogunleye. Olamide is the baby’s first name, while Babatunde is his middle name.
Oluwadolarz is a Yoruba man from a state in the Southwestern part of Nigeria. He was born and raised in Lagos, spending his formative years living in the Lagos mainland.
He came from a humble background and was the first son in a family of six. Oluwadolarz had four other siblings, of whom Intelligent Tope and Ayomide Adebisi are the two most widely known.

Career
Despite his talent for comedy, Oluwadolarz initially had no ambition to become a comedian.

He also featured his family members – his mother and two younger siblings – in his videos. His younger siblings, Intelligent Tope and Ayomide, have also gone on to build successful content creation careers.

As of 2022, he is one of Nigeria’s top social media influencers. This is because he has built a large, loyal fan base who actively engage with his content on social media.
