Comedian and actor Samuel Perry, widely known as Brodashaggi, is marking his birthday this year with an unusual sense of gratitude and reflection. Traditionally, Brodashaggi shies away from birthday celebrations, preferring to avoid cakes, wishes, and even turning off his phone on his special day.
However, this year’s celebration is different for him. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he shared his recent near-death experience and his renewed appreciation for life.

“Birthdays are usually not my thing. In fact, I switch off my phone these days cos I dislike receiving birthday calls and wishes. Only those who are close to me know Shaggi is not Samuel, but that ain’t a discussion for today, lol.
“But this particular birthday is different cos the gift of life was almost taken from me recently but God showed himself and gave me another chance. In fact, this photo shoot was done last night, lol.
“Today, I’m happy, I’m grateful, I’m honored cos I know some birthday mates who aren’t here to celebrate theirs. I’m no different from them, but God has spared me for a reason, I’m sure.
“For those who love me, God has already given me the greatest gift but if you wish to gift me today, all you need to do is listen to this Birthday song I made for myself. It’s available on every music platform, and you can also click the link in my bio. Thank you.”
Brodashaggi’s post underscores his deep appreciation for life and the special nature of this year’s birthday. Fans are invited to celebrate with him by listening to the birthday song he created, reflecting his unique way of marking this significant occasion.
