Jude Brown Tamunoibim, a Nigerian-born musician, dived into the digital market in his early years spent in Ibadan until he was old enough to move to another city. Prior to his arrival into the music scene in 2017, through Hennessey Cypher with the likes of Falz, Dremo, Ladipoe, and Yoye on the line-up, Staqk G was born as the golden child of Afro-Hip Hop, shortly after his versatility was praised by music critics.
Staqk credited 2pac, 50 Cents, Biggie, Kanye West, J-cole, Jay-Z, and Vector as his biggest influence. The Hip-Hop artist fuses Afrobeat with Hip-Hop on his first single in 2019 titled ‘Down for the Moment’, in which Synth and Snare bounce like 50 Cent’s ‘Candy Shop’ on an Afrobeat instrumental. The following year he teamed up with Nigerian rapper Kayode, on ‘Mama Look’, which became a minor break for his career, ‘Mama Look’ debuted on TurnTable Top Triller Chart Nigeria at 25 on the list published by TTC. Staqk G also appeared on Kayode’s extended play ‘’Playtime Is Over’’, which was rated 7/10 by Nigerian music critic, Motolani Alake, who once served as a podcast host and Editor-In-Chief for Pulse Nigeria.
Who is the personality behind the brand Staqk G?
Staqk G is a highly motivated former rapper who has driven into digital marketing as his profession with 6+ years of experience in online retail. He was born on July 31, 1996 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. He finished his secondary education at Basorun Ogunmola High School in 2013 and was aspiring to get a degree in psychology, but circumstances, difficult life situations and the determination to build something big and lasting made him start working on his own project in the e-commerce sphere.
As a marketer, what inspires you to invest in E-Commerce?
We are in a digital age, and you see the most successful people build their wealth from digital space, which is influenced by technology. Looking at the era we are in, I just had to invest my last savings, keep my faith alive, and hard work, which resulted in what you now known as Staqk G Money School.
Did you ever feel most people wouldn’t support what you are selling/knowledge shared, looking at your startup name; Staqk G Money School, which reads G Money, a common street slogan for scams?
As you may know, the word Stacks also means Money in the street, and Gee represents a real one. This makes me the go-to guy, that puts you on, like the saying “follow who know road”. Am sharing digital information on my YouTube for free, and you don’t want to buy in. Then you are missing out totally on my update — on how to make digital currency with the help of Dropshipping, which is smooth like Forex. I run a money school, so it basically reads to the person, has to do with the person, and not me.
So far, how’s your journey been? has it been smooth one?
As a motivator, helping those who are just beginning the e-commerce journey isn’t smooth like when you have a class with people with basic knowledge. Honestly, I must say, I also gave my teachers a hard time in my junior high, guess karma came back so quick, LOL!!!. Am happy I can be an inspiration to people across the nation, demonstrating that with the right knowledge, guidance, and determination, one can overcome even the most challenging circumstances. People got to know, not everything is scam!
Looking at your work and social impact, which has provided hope and practical support to many Nigerians after the video you created on how to make 1k$ (950k Naira) every day. That’s big money, with a Nigerian mentality, EFCC should be on your radar for making 346,750,000 Naira yearly. I must commend your work, and it was really nice having you. Wishing you blessings all the way.
Thank you, but Nigerians need to stand against all odds. As humans, it doesn’t mean if your skin is white or black, we all have to learn and unlearn what we thought was the way to success if the need arises.
