People become famous for doing so many things. While some have made reputations as superstars in sports, politics, etc., others have crumbled as a result of their internet activities; Koksal Baba belongs to this class of celebrities. He became a public figure after a video of him appeared in 2015.
As captured in the video, Baba, who is short in stature, was fighting a man twice his height on the street. Shortly after the video was shared online, it went viral, racking up over six million views and earning him a huge following on his social media platforms.
Best described as the most unlikely viral video in the world, the incident was a stepping stone for Baba to achieve celebrity status. Currently, Koksal has his personal YouTube channel called Koksal Baba. It has over 600 subscribers and features videos about his life in Turkey, from which the superstar runs his online career.
