My name is Tamunodiepiriye Samuel, but most people know me as Mr. Philip Samuel — the face behind Cold Carpet Ent.
Born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and now based in the creative heartbeat of Nigeria — Lagos — my life has always revolved around one thing: storytelling. From a young age, I was drawn to the power of expression — through words, movement, images, and later, screens.
In 2020, I made a pivotal move to Lagos — not just to chase dreams, but to build something meaningful. That dream materialized into Cold Carpet Ent — a platform where entertainment meets impact.
“Red carpets are for glamour. Cold Carpet is for the grind before the shine.”
Cold Carpet Ent is about more than media — it’s about authenticity. I created this brand to represent those of us who work behind the scenes, who hustle without hype, and who build from scratch. It’s for every young creator, dreamer, actor, or innovator who dares to do things differently.
This platform brings together all aspects of who I am:
Each piece of my life feeds into the Cold Carpet vision — to entertain with purpose, to inform with impact, and to empower with creativity.
Before most people saw me on screen, I was behind a keyboard — solving global tech issues for major companies.
My work as a technical support specialist with Microsoft via Tek Experts, Apex Network, MTN, and GigPlus has exposed me to building strong character and resilience, supporting customers, product troubleshooting, and system support 💪
But deep down, I knew I had more to share.
I used the same discipline and problem-solving mindset from tech to build a creative brand that would:
Solve problems through stories
Spread messages through music
Build connections through content
That’s the Cold Carpet difference.
Cold Carpet Ent isn’t just about my work — it’s a movement for voices that deserve to be heard. In every skit, every reel, every song or short film, you’ll find themes of:
Identity
Family
Hustle
Growth
Faith
My creative mission is to help young people see themselves reflected in content that uplifts, educates, and inspires.
Whether I’m acting in a Nollywood production (Chef of My Heart, Pinky), or creating viral TikTok content, or performing music with Generation God’s Geng, I strive to represent the everyday Nigerian — bold, brilliant, and beautifully flawed.
Consistency over hype
Creativity with a message
Discipline through action
Faith at the center
Collaboration over competition
Cold Carpet Ent isn’t just my project — it’s a platform for creatives, thinkers, and storytellers who are ready to impact the world through digital content, tech-powered media, and raw storytelling.
The journey is just beginning.
From producing original films to launching exclusive merch, from creating live shows to partnering with brands, Cold Carpet Ent is evolving into a full-scale creative house.
And I’m inviting YOU to be part of that growth — whether as a fan, supporter, partner, or fellow creative.
