Biography

Comay created the "Dudu Faruk" character during his time in high school in 2013 as a parody Instagram account. His character started getting attention in 2017.[2]

Faruk wears clothing commonly associated with an ars, usually a white tank top and baseball cap.[3]

Faruk received negative reactions following his songs' explicit lyrics.
