Bemi Orojogun, the Nigerian content creator famous as London Bus Aunty, has shared her ultimate wishlist for future TikTok partnerships, naming global superstar Ed Sheeran and Nigeria's own Davido as her top picks.
Dream Collaborations Revealed
In a recent interview, the viral sensation was asked which celebrities she would most love to work with, given her skyrocketing popularity in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria. She responded enthusiastically, pinpointing two major music icons.
"That is a good one. I’d probably say in the UK, it would definitely be Ed Sheeran," Orojogun stated. "In Nigeria, I’d probably say Davido because I love Davido."
Despite having these dream collaborators, the creator emphasized her openness to spontaneous connections. She noted that the authenticity of her content, which often features street conversations and bus interviews, is key to its success. "I’m open to it. Anyone can come on the street and join me on the buses," she added.
A Meteoric Rise to Fame
London Bus Aunty's profile has seen rapid growth over the past year. Her unique blend of humour, encouragement, and relatable life moments filmed on London's buses has amassed a massive following across TikTok and other social platforms.
Her impact was formally recognized when she won the prestigious Video of the Year award at the TikTok UK Awards in 2025. During her acceptance speech, she offered motivational advice to aspiring creators: "Don’t allow your age to stop you. Don’t allow your family to say don’t do that, it’s embarrassing. If you love it, do it."
Her success has translated into significant brand partnerships. She has collaborated with major names including Burberry, H&M, IKEA, Jacquemus, Maybelline, JBL, and recently, MAC Cosmetics.
Recognition at the MOBO Awards
Beyond TikTok, Bemi Orojogun's influence continues to expand. She is among the Nigerians nominated for the 2026 MOBO Awards. She earned a nomination in the Best Media Personality category, where she stands alongside DJ Remi Burgz.
The nominee list, unveiled on Thursday, features a strong contingent of Nigerian talent. In the Best African Music Act category, nominees include Wizkid, Davido, Tiwa Savage, Shallipopi, Ayra Starr, Rema, and Adekunle Gold.
Ayra Starr also secured a nomination in the Best International Act category, competing with global stars like Cardi B, Gunna, and Kehlani. German-Nigerian singer Odeal received nods for Best Male Act and Best R&B/Soul Act.
The recognition extends to film and television, with actors of Nigerian descent like Wunmi Mosaku, Dayo Koleosho, Damson Idris, and Cynthia Erivo nominated for Best Performance in a TV Show/Film.
London Bus Aunty's journey from creating spontaneous bus content to naming international superstars as dream collaborators and earning major award nominations highlights the growing power of authentic digital creators in shaping modern pop culture.
