What happened to the One Pound Fish man?

The One Pound Fish Man, Shahid Nazir, joins Tom for a very very good discussion about what it was like being the nations favourite fish-sales-based-singer, and what he has been up to recently. Shahid even debuts a BRAND NEW SONG for us on the show! Not a one pound fish remix, a completely new song with new lyrics.
Shahid comes from Pakistan originally and shortly after moving to the UK began selling fish in Queens Market, Upton Park West Ham. A video of Shahid singing his tune “come on ladies come on ladies One Pound Fish” “very very good and very very cheap” went viral nationwide. He even performed on the X-Factor and made a music video with Warner Music. The rest we’ll hear about in the interview.
Shahid has recently gained another surge of popularity with remixes and mash ups coming from TikTok, beginning with The Kiffness.

I swear if English was his first language, he would of made it big here. He has a voice and creativity. He has sang great songs back home in his language. Btw when he sang a bit in front of you, he sounded exactly like the music video. Dude doesn't need auto tune 😃

[@jovial1870]

This guy is so humble such a legend 🐐🐐🐐

[@COTOHAXX]

World certified trainers: we'll teach you how to trade. Shahid Nazir: hold my fish.

[@matthewgleasman2130]

His energy is just pure joy and happiness. The kind of human being that's makes your day better by just hanging out with him. I hope I'm right because you never know but that's the feeling I get from watching this video.

I have only one question. Did he create his own KZbin channel, to accumulate results of his fame there? One should take advantage of moments like this.

My question is, how did the song affect fish sales 🤔

[@syedamahvishizzat609]

He shouldn’t have been deported…. He could be a supporting comedian for movies too…He would have had a future. He should have settled and applied for immigration.

[@floptime]

Was that Michael Jackson song a spoof ?? I almost pissed myself😆😂😂

Rumour has it he's gone out of business, because '1.50 for a fish due to inflation' is harder to fit into a song
