Headless YouTuber is a Ghanaian digital content creator who captured the attention of online audiences with his unique approach to content creation by remaining completely anonymous.

Known for his humorous and insightful reaction videos, he skillfully built a strong following without ever showing his face, using animations and clever editing to maintain his secret identity.

Behind the scenes, the man behind the channel was Ghanaian rapper Kula, whose real name is Frederick Mattey. He launched the YouTube channel in 2021 during a difficult period in his life and chose to stay anonymous to avoid the perception that he had turned to YouTube because his music career was not progressing as expected.

Kula, who won the VGMA Unsung Category in 2019, had already made a name for himself in Ghana’s music industry, despite some of his success being overshadowed by controversies at major events.

As Headless YouTuber, Kula developed a loyal fanbase he calls “Kɔtɔ Nation.” His audience was drawn to his sharp commentary on trending topics, viral videos, and Ghanaian pop culture.

After years of speculation and mystery, he eventually revealed his identity in January 2025 marking a major turning point in his journey.

Following the reveal, Kula began making public appearances, including a high-profile visit to the American Embassy in Ghana.

He also announced plans to expand his creative ventures, such as launching a podcast, conducting interviews, and exploring new formats beyond the Headless YouTuber persona.

Today, Kula embraces his dual identity as both a musician and a content creator. He continues to entertain and inspire audiences through his versatility and determination.

His evolution from an anonymous entertainer to a public figure highlights his strong connection with fans and his commitment to authentic storytelling across media platforms.
