By Enitan Abdultawab Nigerian online streamer and TikTok personality Hamza Kolu, widely known as Kolu Wahala, has spoken about the reason behind his small stature, linking it to being born prematurely. The content creator made the revelation during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch, where he discussed personal aspects of his life, including his health and upbringing. According to Kolu, he was delivered at seven months rather than the typical nine-month gestation period, which he believes contributed to his unique physique. “I was born prematurely at seven months, not nine. That is why I look like this,” he said during the interview. Beyond his physical development, Kolu also spoke about his family background. He disclosed that he lost his mother at a young age, while his father is still alive. “I have parents, but my mother is late. She died a long time ago. My father is still alive,” he added. In a separate development, Kolu recently encountered trouble with immigration authorities in the United Kingdom following a confrontation at the airport. Nigerian singer Candy Bleakz shared details of the incident on her Instagram page, explaining that tensions escalated after Kolu was unable to locate his travel documents ahead of a scheduled flight. “We wanted to board a flight, but Kolu couldn’t find his passport,” she wrote. “I told him to calm down and search everywhere. When he couldn’t find it, we needed to communicate this to immigration, but instead, Kolu started a fight.” According to her, his reaction led to his arrest and detention by UK immigration officers.
