At just 26 years old, Precious Ijeoma Anizoba, better known by her moniker Blackchully or Blackchully Scorpion, is fast emerging as one of the freshest TikTokers in Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
Born on September 9, 2000, in Plateau State, Chully is both an Afrobeats front-liner and a genre blender who wears her youthful swagger with flair.
According to her, she said she was born in Plateau State, but originally she hails from Nkanu West Local Government Area in Enugu State. While she was pleased with the way people react to her different hairstyles every day offline, undoubtedly she had the impression to post it online to get more exposure. So, in 2021, when she opened her TikTok, she began sharing multiple videos there; this platform helped her build some initial fan base. She sometimes dresses like a boy, and you know, some boy swag, and people started getting to know more about her. She began playing the role of Kodak Black and even sagging like a boy.
This serves as an identifier that sets her apart from many peers (girls). Her viral videos in 2021 marked her arrival, not only just hair videos but the way she acts too. It was raw, honest, and unmistakably local in its flavour. After that, she dropped multiple videos in 2022 and follow-ups in 2023, each helping to raise her profile and expand her For You Page reach.
Another big one, Blackchully’s music aspect real breakout came with “Payment Before Service” featuring Big YD the Beast. It went really viral on TikTok and online and earned her serious streaming traction on Spotify, Audiomack, and Apple Music. The song’s energy, catchy hook, street vibes, and streetwise lyricism resonated strongly with young audiences, helping close the gap between underground buzz and mainstream visibility.
In mid and late 2025, more songs were released, further expanding her reach and fan base. Blackchully doesn’t shy from collaborations. On her videos, she has worked with names like Zubby Michael, Broda Shaggi, Slim Case, and Flowerboy, proving she’s ready to mix it up with established celebrities.
What makes Blackchully compelling isn’t just her ability to create videos; it’s how she weaves tomboy and woman energy, street vibes, and a confident delivery together. She often goes by nicknames like Chully, BlacChul, or simply Black. In interviews, she cites influence from Nigerian actor Zubby Michael as an actor who taught her how to act and aspired to be an actress.
Blackchully was spotlighted in Nigeria’s Best TikTokers in 2024, putting her alongside other emerging talents to watch. Even in music aspect, her streaming numbers reflect early but promising traction. She already commands a listener base on Spotify and Apple Music. Though still pushing music and content, Chully carries momentum. Her commitment to authenticity, refusing to give a damn about haters, makes her a voice that many young Nigerians will likely ride with.
In TikTok landscape where many chase trends, Blackchully stands out by doubling down on her roots, even creating her own trend “Kakashi House Sound Challenge” which went viral on TikTok.
When her wannabe Kodak Black and tomboy videos hit the internet, Chully went from underground to viral in a matter of days. People started to hate on her while some loved her swag and everything; in all these, the video quickly became an all-for-you page, taking over TikTok and Instagram. But this wasn’t a random stroke of luck. Chully’s rise had been building for years.
