Back in 2017, a man named Ferdi became an internet sensation with his famous outburst, “Why you coming fast?”
The clip showed a cyclist crashing into him, and Ferdi’s angry reaction quickly turned into one of the most memorable British internet memes.
Ferdi, known for wearing a high-visibility jacket and a white hat, became an unexpected star. His phrases spread widely on social media, with millions watching the video and quoting his lines.
He even released a music video called “Why You Coming Fast,” which got over four million views on YouTube.
Despite his sudden fame, Ferdi’s story didn’t turn into long-term success like some viral stars. He tried to build a career, making appearances at clubs and bars, earning between £200 and £700 per event.
He also struck a deal with Boohoo for merchandise, but he claims he was paid far less than he deserved and didn’t profit from his music video at all.
Years later, Ferdi revealed he is starting a new chapter as a food reviewer. His upcoming Instagram show, “Ferdi Eats,” will explore different cuisines like Pakistani, Somali, Turkish, Indian, and English food.
While viral fame didn’t bring Ferdi lasting riches, he remains positive and ready to share his new journey with fans. We wish him the best of luck with his food reviews.
