Orojogun, who went viral in 2024 with a creative forced-perspective clip, has become a digital influencer, collaborating with big brands like Burberry, H&M, and MAC Cosmetics. She’s also worked with Khan on promoting London’s zero-emission buses.

In her acceptance speech, Orojogun encouraged others to pursue their passions, saying, “Don’t allow your age to stop you. Don’t allow your family to say Don’t do that, it’s embarrassing. If you love it, do it.”

Her winning video has racked up almost 50 million views on TikTok.

Fans are thrilled, and Nigerians are jokingly challenging her to recreate her stunts in busy areas like Oshodi or CMS.
