Lucky Udu Background
Lucky Udu was born and raised in Delta State. He was born on June 2, 1997. He was raised in Ika, Delta State. Unfortunately, he lost both his parents at the tender age of 4.
Growing up, Lucky Udu was inspired by the stories of the Nigerian people. At some point, he observed that the once popular celebrities he looked up to had gone under because of personal issues with him.
So, this motivated him to start his platform to help forgotten Nigerian celebrities.
Lucky Udu Education
Lucky Udu attended the prestigious Elizade University in Ondo State.
He studied English Language at a private university. He graduated with excellent results in 2021.
Lucky Udu Career
Lucky was inspired by the popular Nas Daily documentary. He saw firsthand what it means to help people with a platform to air their pain. Additionally, Lucky is also a person who feels compassion for people.
So this motivated him to create videos that inspire hope in forgotten heroes. One of the videos that made him viral was the Kogi flood epidemic.
Recall, in October 2022, various parts of Kogi State were affected by floods. This affected homes and businesses both in the rural areas and urban regions.
Moved by pity and compassion, Lucky Udu travelled to Kogi to capture this situation. Immediately after he posted the video, it attracted the attention of the Nigerian government.
As a result, moves were made to reduce the impact of floods in that area. That was not all. BBC Radio reached out to Lucky to provide comprehensive news on the Kogi flood. Not long after, his video hit the 1 million views milestone on Facebook alone.
In 2024, Lucky made an effort to reconcile Mark Angel and Denilson Igwe. Originally, the issues between the two personalities emanated from the royalty settlement.
The latter claimed Mark Angel owed him a certain amount of money. Even though the issue between them caused uproar on social media, Lucky intervened and tried to settle their issue.
He brought both of them to a serene hotel to settle their grievances. However, efforts made to settle were to no avail. Lucky was praised for putting in an effort into settling the long beef between them.
Not only does Lucky post celebrities, but he also helps to raise funds for forgotten heroes. A prime example is that of Thespian Nosy.
There was an opportunity where well-meaning Nigerians could contribute to helping such celebrities get back on their feet.
Lucky Udu Controversy
Lucky Udu has been in a lot of controversies. Here is one:
- It started when he interviewed a person who claimed to be the Cubana’s Chief Priest’s brother. The person alleged that Cubana had abandoned him in the village.
- He also told the public how the Chief Priest sidelined his music career despite having the connection to blow him up.
Of course, Chief Priest did not respond to these allegations at first. Then, pressure started piling up when Burna Boy, his rival, invited the alleged brother for a monetary gift. How, then, did Lucky Udu come in?
Recall that Lucky gave the alleged brother the platform to air his view. As a result, he was bashed by online critics for trying to tarnish Cubana’s reputation.
Being a part of 30BG afforded the fans of Davido to join in this online attack on Lucky Udu. That was not all!
- Sometime in December 2024, Lucky interviewed a woman who claimed to have a child for Cubana Chief Priest.
- Despite the numerous attempts Chief Priest had made to deny such allegations, the woman publicized this news even more!
What happened next?
In an attempt to paint Chief Priest as bad, Burna Boy invited the woman known as Helen, along with her son, to Nigeria. But, Lucky was to be an intermediary between him and Helen.
As soon as Helen heard of it, she was concerned about her safety in Nigeria. To her, Cubana Chief Priest may hurt her in Nigeria.
Lucky Udu tried to convince the woman to come to Nigeria. He was even persuasive. It even got to a point where Lucky told her that she could spend the night in his house if she felt unsafe anywhere.
To Helen, this sounded suspicious. This gesture infuriated Helen, who likely thought ‘Is he trying to take advantage of me?’
So, this made netizens attack Lucky for sending advances to Helen. He was even attacked by Helen’s lawyer too in the process.
However, in reality, Lucky was trying to offer a helping hand, but it was misunderstood by the public.

So, he needs financial support to help his foundation reach more people across Nigeria. We hope he gets the desired helping hand he needs.
