Chunkz grew up in northwest London to Somali parents with three sisters and one brother. He has since featured on various social media, doing challenges, riddles, pranks and rap battles.[2] Chunkz featured in the 2017 novelty song Man's Not Hot, with doubling punning references to his own issues with being overweight and violence in inner-city regions of London.[3] In March 2018, Chunkz, along with Michael Deepah, helped launch a voice app built for the Google Assistant for the train ticket retailer Trainline to ease rail journey planning.[4] In April 2018, Chunkz won the International Somali Awards for best entertainer, exceeding singer-songwriter Cherrie and actor Barkhad Abdi in the vote.
