Who is Chunkz?
Born on February 21, 1996, Chunkz is a social media personality and TV presenter, who shot to stardom thanks to his comedic YouTube videos.
The YouTuber was born in northwest London, England and is British Somali.
He began filming videos in 2015 with his cousin and fellow YouTuber, Darkest Man, sharing clips of vlogs, pranks, and partaking in challenges with his pals.
His culinary series, Cooking with Chunkz, also caused a huge buzz – so much so, he dropped out of university in 2016 to focus on his channel and says he then “paved the way for myself.”
And his gamble paid off – as he went on to form an impressive duo with fellow vlogger Yung Filly.
The pair have massively expanded their audience and thanks to their persistence, they have earned gigs with both FootAsylum and Sky Sports.
Chunkz’ popularity continued to soar after he played the role of Asznee in Big Shaq’s spoof 2017 music video, Mans Not Hot, which racked up over 390million views.
Alongside Michael Dapaah, in March 2018 he helped launch a voice app for Google Assistant and Trainline, while managing to win the International Somali award for best entertainer in the same year.
