I'm done trolling. I'm tired of being a lolcow/idiot.

[@CZsWorld]

Can't wait to see your video essays about the dark side of children's cartoons. Everyone loved your cameo in my iCarly analysis today, so it should go over well.

[@BGKumbi]

Thank you so much for putting me in it. Thousands of new viewers will come here expecting comedy, but they're just gonna have to deal with my pivot to serious content creation.

[@nasti362]

If Kumbi has one fan left in the world it’s me. If he has no fans left that means im dead 💜

[@nasti362]

PS Mr. Stafford, can you please help me file my taxes? I don’t want you to have to resort to starting an OF to make ends meet.

[@BGKumbi]

@@nasti362 This isn't tax advice, but you could look into the IRS's free filing service if your adjusted gross income is $79,000 dollars or less. Thank you for being a huge fan. 💜

[@ErenDoppleganer]

⁠@@BGKumbican I transform bitcoin in some digital product that has no revenue? Like can I turn bitcoin in clash of clans gems? And then transform it into real income?

[@HGeorge1993]

​@@BGKumbidude the guy just above me asked you a question, dont be so rude.

[@crikeycam]

To BG Kumbi, April fool's day is just a normal day.

[@Mistoffillies2]

Kumbi cut the act. We all know who you really are and its definitely not some guy called Kevin.

[@pablowentscobar]

"Kevin" What a dumb name. Like "randy" the name just pisses me off, what a dipsh*t.

[@nm425]

You mean his real name is BG Kumbi?

[@kevinrhea7332]

Kevin is a strong name though

[@dust195]

Kevin Staffird is my favorite African American male. Unfortunately its no longer February, so this black king wont get the respect he deserves from the media. They should rename black history month to BG Kumbi remembrance month.

[@100Beef]

The joke is he was serious on April fools day

[@FunkyJeff22]

Wow. Didn't know your youtube career had such an impact on your life. Glad to see the new direction and I'm hopeful that things get better for you from here on out. April 1st is an unfortunate day to post this, I'm worried some fans of yours won't take this video seriously. Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

[@PenguinTac0s]

April fools 🎉😂

[@FrazzledripRNG]

I can't wait for Kevin's next video essay about Nutty Putty Cave. It's a story that needs repeating ad infinitum.

[@pablowentscobar]

You should do more bits with puppets and ventriloquist dummies. Like that "On a steeeeck!" guy. He does pretty good, people seem to like him. I think you'd do good with something like that. Maybe get an old man puppet, make him real grumpy. And you could argue with him. Try giving Netflix a call. IDK, you'll be ok.

[@torchy8048]

you are so brave for this

[@Midaz_Mains]

I used to pray for times like this

[@CitizenToxie72]

Would never unsub Kevin, we support your transition!

[@no-oneyou-know1558]

Kumbi looks like he's a Proud Boy's lawyer in that suit

[@TheBabadook616]

Not even in my worst nightmares could I have imagined that I would lose both Rusty Cage and BG Kumbi within a matter of weeks. My heart is broken and in shambles. RIP, you will be missed ♡

[@BGKumbi]

I still have a video about Rusty in the (water)works. Rest in pieces. 💜

[@ChasishOnYouTube]

Every time I watch a BG Kumbi video, it feels like the joke is on me. It doesn't matter that it's April Fools Day. It's all the same to Kevin. It's all the same video. If you watch every Kumbi video back-to-back, you will realize that it's all one video, actually. Kevin just does all the editing really well. Go ahead, Kev, do a jump-cut to next month's upload. I'll be there.

[@calebcrustysalad]

i subscribed a while back and i wont unsubscribe. your videos have made me laugh a lot when i was feeling down, you’re a great person!

[@Ayberch]

I am hoping this is a joke because you are a freaking legend do not let the numbers define you, this is one of the only handful of channels that I still sit through every video of. You mean so much to us and you've achieved things a lot of us can only admire - coming from a chest surgeon. Stay safe 🤍

[@texasjules22]

Real Name, No Gimmicks

[@BGKumbi]

I stole that line from a rap song, please don't tell anyone.

[@NoLMAOnade]

For the occasion, he dressed in a suit. Love it!

[@klm1784]

BGK I remember when I heard you call into the Jesus Chatline to talk about your inventions. I'm glad to see you're growing up from your jokes and getting back to what you were made to do-create ingenious inventions.

[@Kaizoku_apex]

I was so convinced by your performance. He really knows how to immerse himself in his role.

[@skandhreddy]

Glad you're doing well

[@LabiaLicker]

lol

[@dedik8SKB]

Continue the humility and the dry humor, review tax forms or whatever, it'll be a goldmine. It's great to hear your insight into your life.

[@gigachad2221-g4n]

Been watching this guy since intermittently since discovering his "I need money" video on Trolls News. Also were the same age practically, so thats how young I was.

[@LikelyLost]

Ive been a fan forever, i love your trolling. If the joke is being serious on April Fools Day and you mean it, im going to watch you no matter what.

[@HoboHunterRik]

BG Kumbi you're my sole inspiration for youtubing. While I'm even more unpopular than you I still thank you for helping me be a bit more creative throughout my life. It's one of my few sources of pride. Thanks Big Bro! 4channel will never be better than 9gag!

[@eekahheek]

It's weird because through the years, there's always been a real genuine part of Kevin, even in the "BG Kumbi" character if BG ever wasn't Kevin haha

[@shawnbarlow8851]

Trollception. Incredible kiddo. Been watching you for like, I don't know. 13 years. Even joined some of your streams. Keep being a freak of nature Kumbi.

[@bwc-chvd]

I am listening and learning. A black man’s experience and perspective in this white dominated society is always important.

[@C0nnie]

ill never forget a decade ago randomly stumbling upon your 'random ideas and inventions' video. 10/10

[@monkyskat1346]

Thought this day would never come

[@shawnmendrek3544]

There is better things in life than comedy and pranks. It's called growing up.

[@hatespeakersargonofakkad6523]

I've never seen your channel before, your vid was the top recommendation when I opened the app.

[@BGKumbi]

Please, feel free to stick around. Watch my old videos if you want comedy, but just know from this point forward, I'm going to be more serious.

[@BlakeGM]

Kumbi you just need to post some videos like "HOOD DUDE REACTS TO FORREST GUMP FOR THE FIRST TIME!"

[@mdschwartz24]

Bro Atlanta needs electricians real bad. Come on down

[@ZoomerDoomer]

Best "I'm retiring from KZbin" video to date. WE LOVE YOU KEVIN 🥰

[@kaasbaas2607]

probably used the april fools day as oppertunity to drop the act for once. this man dedicated his life to this. hope he one day will get the recognition he deserves as the great comedian he is

[@HuntersHunter]

I would watch your Hey Arnold analysis Kevin

[@TheEveryone1Million]

Hey Kumbi, When can we expect these new types of videos to come out? I think a timeline would help with your motivation. Regards, GREKKER

[@Pawsz]

You could start an irl street dating show. you go up to random people and ask them if they are single and if they are willing to let you find them a date - if they say yes, you make them go sit on a bench somewhere and you people watch together, and they choose who they want you to go up to and ask on a date for them - then you go up those chosen ones and explain to them you're trying to find a date for your friend and point to them, and if the person says sure then you go and send them on a date somewhere. you have to have 3 envelopes with 3 different date ideas inside, and they get to pick one. then they go do whatever is on the card inside the envelope - and you follow them with your camera crew to film it all. you will pay for the dates but it will be worth it because your channel will blow up and make a milly per week. trust me it's an untapped market on youtube and dating shows are very popular. you just need to come up with a catchy name like - street pimps also comment on their shoes, every time, to break the ice with people. it will become your thing and advertisers will love it. you will be getting sponsers by nike, addidas, fila, puma, kanye, gucci, you name it - you could be like "those are some slick kicks" and flash those brand names and price tags up on the screen with a big kerching sound effect for maximum impression. maybe then it could be called street pimps & sneaker simps some people are really obsessive about shoes. also you would draw in the foot fetish crowd, which - statistically, is the most common fetish - a huge market to tap. trust me im a genius, and if this works you won't even owe me anything until you make your first milly as promised, then i might be like hey can i please have some money for groceries, maybe a new pair of shoes once a year, and if you continue to be successful and become a millionair or more in a few years time, once you're well established, i would ask that you consider buying me my own home. p.s/ if you need an example of the format i have in mind - look up *davina mccall streetmate* it was a dating show in the uk in the 90s/early 2k. you could do alot more with it, add all your own flavour. The key is to find some interesting characters to engage, they will carry most of the show. they dont have to all be wacky or weird, they could just be that nice dude you want to see have a good time, or that shy girl you want to see swept off her feet. If you can get an active balance of wholesome and edgy, you have seriously got a winner.

Can u hire me too pls

[@santiagoferrari1973]

Dillon the Hacker we miss you.

[@TheThanatosian]

Hey Kevin. You'll always be the master of your craft, even after you retire. I'm a damn fool anyways, so maybe this doesn't mean much, but I've never been able to discern when your videos are serious or not. At least never on the first watch. Back in 2019, I even thought your video on Dillon's passing was another poor taste trolling. Maybe it's because we all wish that's what it had really been. I lost my own best friend when he took his own life a few months later (oct, 2019). I still get fucked up sometimes because I'll never remove him from my PSN friends, and seeing that "last online: 5 years ago" never gets easier. Anyways, before I get too off-topic... I've never thought of you as a lolcow or a meme. I've always found your brand of humor genuinely refreshing, and I'll keep watching your content for as long as you care to create it. Last bit of my thoughts, I'm 33 and I've gained more than I could have imagined since being 26. Your high school and college friends that are "already married", well, 90% will probably be divorced in the next 5 years. Not that we should take comfort in others misfortune, but buddy, you probably dodged a bullet. There are better days ahead, champ.

[@frankbrocker2963]

you're right, there are better days ahead. i believe one day you'll have an epiphany and realize what dry humor is. we're all gonna make it!

[@carlv1379]

I found this video helpful because you mentioned that your previous videos are supposed to be comedy. Now that I know they are supposed to be funny, I can give them a second chance.

[@lordnarwhal]

Hi I've been here since the first day of high school video and I've always enjoyed watching your videos. You're like a quirky side character in my main character life who provides the audience with brief moments of pity laughs and a much needed break from the nonstop action and intrigue

[@bingflosby]

Next thing he’s going to say he doesn’t have any black ancestors

[@bignumbers]

Is that a really small tie, or are you just pleased to see me?

I have no KZbin channel or public presence but I’ve applied to over 500 jobs only got 1 it’s not just you I think companies get paid to have job offers up

Baby no… stop.. dont say that😢

sad to hear it, mr. bulgarian kumbi

Can you post this again tomorrow

Realisation of growing up. Real jobs not pieces of paper and uni debt. Choices what people actually need. Plumbers Nurses, farmers truck drivers but hey they’re uneducated hey well well well. When you grow up this happens

[@danmoore6062]

This is the first time I've been recommended any of your content so I'm pretty lost...I have no frame of reference here...I've never seen trolling or stunts

[@100Beef]

Glad u opened up and spoke some of your truth

[@Whurlpuul]

Mr Kumbi, you should review retro videogames (in an angry way) so you too can become the next Spoony, or maybe even the irate gamer.

[@mcoupe69]

The real troll would be if you were serious.. on April Fools lol

[@100Beef]

He is

[@baconsarny-geddon8298]

I have some serious dirt on this guy, from when he interned for Dan Schneider, and I was a shy, naive 10yo, auditioning for an axed Nickelodeon show called "The Atomic Wedgie Kamikaze Fun-Time Hour". He took my innocence.

[@soyfacejay]

That's a serious hairstyle, sure. The jewelry tells a different story though, sir.

I know he's not serious because Tractor Supply doesn't do anything to their lawn mowers. They chain them in front of the store and leave them sit until they sell: no matter how many years that takes.
