Nigerian rapper, Sherrif Ilori, aka Big Sheff was born into a musical family. His parents are the legendary Sir Kollington Ayila and the original 'Gentle lady' Queen Salawa Abeni (Queen of Waka music). The talented rapper who is currently signed to Candiva Signature is often referred to as "Nigeria Rick Ross" or "Young Ross" by many because of his striking resemblance to the American rapper.
At Felabration 2015, the plus size entertainer got excited during his performance and took off his shirt, thereby sending his audience into a frenzy state. However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, Big Sheff made it clear that he is comfortable with his size....

"People have been calling me Nigerian Rick Ross ever since I started doing music professionally some years back and I am used to it by now. I am very comfortable in my skin and I often tell people that if you are a slim person, you should not expect to see someone with six packs when you look into the mirror. If you are a big person, don't go to the front of the mirror expecting to see a slim person.
If you see that I am a big person when I have my clothes on, then you should expect to see a big person when I take my clothes off. There is nothing to be shy and embarrassed about. If you are comfortable with your looks, then nobody can use it against you. But if you are not comfortable in your in skin; that is when there would be an issue" he said
And when asked why he removes his clothes on stage, he said....."It is not like i go on stage with plans to take off my clothes but I am moved by the crowd's response to my music. When the crowd goes crazy, then the music takes me away"

The Rick Ross look-a-like was featured in the music video "Hold Me Back" which Rick Ross shot in Nigeria during his September 2012 visit. Responding to folks who compares him to Rick Ross, Big Sheff says......:
I am not Rozay's brother. I am a fan and we look a like. Though, we make similar type of music, he has his style and I have mine"
Ok oh! It's all well and good. I think it's real nice that you are comfortable in your skin and size but I also think you need to take care of yourself and get rid of some of your weight for health reasons. I wish you well.....
