Michael Dapaah
Michael Dapaah (born 10 August 1991) is a British actor, rapper, and comedian. He is also known as Big Shaq (or Roadman Shaq). In 2017, he made his mockumentary SWIL (Somewhere in London). The mockumentary focuses on four characters and their journey to success.[1] His novelty song "Man's Not Hot" saw commercial success. It went to number three (meaning it is popular, but not popular enough to get to number one) on the UK Singles Chart. The song has been certified platinum in the United Kingdom by the BPI.
Dapaah was born in Croydon, London, to immigrants from Ghana.[2]
