| Submission declined on 4 January 2025 by SafariScribe (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Clinton Monday Ovuakporaye (born 2 December 2002), known by his stage name Clintianoo, is a Nigerian TikToker, social media content creator, and skit maker.[1][2][3]
Early life and education
[edit]Clintianoo was born on 2 December 2002, in Lagos, Nigeria, to parents from Isoko, Delta State. He attended Tendermate Nursery and Primary School for his elementary education and completed his secondary education at Jubilee Model Junior Grammar School and Coker Secondary School, Lagos, where he earned his Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) in 2020. He temporarily put his education on hold to focus on social media content creation.[2][4]
Career
[edit]Clintianoo began his career in 2020, posting dance videos and comedy skits on TikTok. By 2024, his follower count on the platform exceeded 3 million, establishing him as one of the most followed Nigerian skit-makers on TikTok. He has collaborated with other prominent Nigerian content creators, including WF James Brown and Purple Speedy.[5][4][6][1]
Controversy
[edit]He has faced backlash for some of his content, particularly for dressing like a woman, which some of his fans criticized as emulating controversial cross-dressers such as Okuneye Olanrewaju, popularly known as Bobrisky, and James Obialor (widely recognized as James Brown). Others have suggested that he should focus on incorporating moral lessons into his content rather than wearing makeup.[3][7]
