Victor Oluwakoya Emitam Kunda[1] (/ˈkʊndə/ KUUN-də;[2] born 15 July 1999)[1][3] is an English internet personality and model, who became popular as a comedy TikToker and fashion influencer.

Early life and education

[edit]

Born in South-East London[4] into a Christian family of Nigerian and Zambian origin,[2][4] Kunda grew up between the Eltham and Lewisham neighbourhoods with his mother, sister and two brothers.[2][5][6] He recalls being fond of performative arts since his childhood, having begun to sing, act and dance at an early age.[2] He went on to enroll in a music and drama school, but later dropped out[2] and switched to studying Media Production[2][5] at De Montfort University in Leicester, where he graduated during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Career

[edit]

Kunda first started posting skits on Facebook and YouTube as early as 2016[5][6] subsequently moving to Instagram and Twitter,[5] with several of his classmates encouraging him to join TikTok.[2][5] He became known at the time of the COVID-19 lockdown for a TikTok post where he was using a breadstick as a cigarette,[2][5][6] which quickly earned him 10 thousand followers[5] and ultimately garnered more than 6 million views.[6] He chose to continue posting humorous skits, some of which were shared by celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Lil Nas X and Doja Cat,[5][6] and gained a larger following over time, amassing over a billion views by 2022.[6][7]

Shortly after he became known as a comedian, Kunda received a request from a friend to take part in a photoshoot for an acquaintance's project at Central Saint Martins, marking his first steps in the fashion industry.[2] As an influencer, Kunda has advertised or partnered with a number of fashion brands which include Burberry, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, Bottega Veneta, Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, Balenciaga, Zalando×Versace, Adidas, Labrum, Levi's, Kurt Geiger, Yohji Yamamoto, Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Off-White, as well as other companies like Charlotte Tilbury, Topicals, Paramount+, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Durex.[a]

In 2022, Kunda featured alongside Doja Cat and Dolly Parton on the TikTok satirical short film Mexican Pizza: The Musical, recounting the story of a client who fights to get Mexican Pizza back on Taco Bell's menu.[15][16] The same year, he served as the host for Channel 4's comedy web show Razor Sharp.[6][17] He also made appearances on the TV programmes The Emily Atack Show (2022) and Dropped (2023),[17][18] as well as taking part in shows for nonprofit purposes, including the NCS-sponsored The Big Escape (2023)[19] and the 2026 edition of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.[20][21]
