Forget ridiculous outfits on catwalks, we see celebrities wearing questionable clothes every day. And even though we wouldn't go out wearing a robe and chains, Funny Toheeb does. Kinda. This guy from Africa has joined the likes of Anucha "Cha" Saengchart and Sine Benjaphorn, recreating absurd celebrity looks with stuff he finds laying around in his home.

"My name is Toheeb Adedokun Akorede, also known as Funny Toheeb. I impersonate celebrities. I recreate their looks with cheap materials," the entertainer told the BBC.
Jennifer Lopez
Rihanna
Funny Toheeb said that recreating celebrity looks isn't easy. "Sometimes when I don't know what to do with the picture, I listen to music, then go through the picture [again] and I will kill it [the look]."
"It's not a day's job, some pictures we spend weeks [recreating them]. Sometimes we work at night. Sometimes the material will be around, like what we did with the plastic bottles, you just have to look around for it."
But in the end, it's worth it. "People laugh and that is just our main focus," he said. "Bringing people out of depression, motivation amidst depression."
"I wasn't born with a silver spoon. I actually want to be the person that will change my family's story, that is why I keep working. 'Just keep doing and keep thinking outside of the box,' that's what my mum used to tell me."
"I tell her I will be a big celebrity one day, she doesn't believe me." However, she better start listening to her son. As of this article, Funny Toheeb has 558k Instagram followers, and to most people, that's probably enough to be considered as a celebrity. At least an internet celebrity.

An old mop would have been perfect for the wig. But noodles are ok, too.

He actually looks better than Cardi. I mean, anybody would if we were comparing a mediocre rapper in a bandana dress to somebody that actually put the work into creating something funny to wear that people can appreciate.

Ran out of ideas for next Halloween? Search no more.

All that ramen made me hungry.
How can upvote this man a gazillion times? He made my day.
I know I'm not up on Pop Culture, but I have no idea who most of these "celebrities" are. But Funny Toheeb needs to be a celebrity. LMBO
Sooo funny. es some or most of the originals are so very ridiculous that they beg parodies.
Sweet Jesus. Can’t. Stop. Laughing.
That was funny. More than half of those people pictured I've never heard of. For some odd reason I care about that? lol
they are Nigerian celebrities
Oh.
What has fashion come to?
hahahaha!!! Too funny and very creative!
All the arts were very interesting and entertaining.

I haven't. heard of half of these people, but I find their attention seek pathetic. Who the f... is some cardi sth woman that she thinks anyone might want to see her naked 9 mnths pregnant. Jeez, not everything is for sale!
I recognized like 7 of these people who apparently are famous... I need to get on insta or something 🤦♀️
I think you just aren’t Nigerian enough.
Haha you're dumb
Am I the only one, who don't consider this funny?..
Nope, me too.
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
These "celebrities" (I honestly do not know half of them) are self-caricatures already. Who dresses and poses likes this is merely desperate for attention. Trolling gives them even more attention...I was almost tempted to look up who "Cardi B" might be...
They are Nigerian Celebrities
The Kardashian thing is not Nigerian.
Ха, круто по тролив!😂

А может быть она скопирует человеческий образ жизни? Слабо "повторить" нормальную жизни как в Европе, как в США? Любая дура так может.
A lot of those black celebs think because something is expensive it is pretty... So they're rich but have a shitty taste in a lot of things! ;-)
That is some serious commitment! Awesome.
Most of these people wearing ridiculous outfits are black. Overcompensating for their lack of confidence.
He is Nigerian
Interesting ^^ they have the time to do that ??
Do you have something better?
Ofc ;) work for example. Thats like the refugees that tell us they had nothing and if you give them a steak they deny cause its too fat xD
what are you pointing at?
The irony of the hole thing :)

how many more of this?'i mean this shit gets boring its 2019 like 50ppl done that before....hey i got an idea why not revive the ice bucket challenge or plankin if were already at reviving dead internet stuff
Don't be negative, the world needs more creative and innovative people like this guy! If you don't like seeing articles about people recreating celebrity looks, then I have good news for you: You don't have to click on them!
ok ...so what is creative and innovative ...when you copy..not just the styles...but the entire concept of what youre doing is a copy too??pls explain because where i come from copying something twice is literally the epitome of being uncreative and unoriginal therefore the furthest form being creative and innovative
Holy crap no the world does NOT!!
So much ramen wasted..
