Ogunleye Olamide Babatunde, popularly known as Oluwadolarz, joined Amanda Dara on the Open Up Podcast for a conversation about his journey, from his struggles to his success in comedy.
He explained how he got the name “Dollars” from a stand-up joke and how it sometimes led people to the wrong conclusions about him. He spoke about losing his father at a young age and the challenges that followed. Moving between family members, taking on tough jobs, and trying to stay in school at the same time was a lot to handle.
He reflected on the early days of skit-making, the struggles of getting noticed, and how he eventually found his way in comedy. He also addressed a serious accusation that once affected his career and how he handled it.
On relationships, he talked about the boundaries he sets with women, his experience as a father, and the fears that came with having a child. He also shared his thoughts on marriage.
As the conversation wrapped up, he discussed his plans for the future and reflected on faith and the role of spirituality in his life.
