The Chicken Connoisseur

It was announced in October 2017 that Quashie would star in a new Channel 4 television show entitled 'The Peng Life'. The programme started in August 2018 and featured 4 episodes.

In January 2017, Quashie came under criticism after he featured Taylor Harris (stage name 'Bonkaz') rapping in one of his YouTube videos. Harris was previously convicted of groping a 13-year-old girl in 2010. Harris was also jailed for three years in 2011 for his part in a kidnapping and torture of a 22-year-old disabled man.

In May 2017, Quashie endorsed Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election. During an interview with The Fader he said: "he's one of the few people who make sense".

In December 2016, he established Chicken Connoisseur Ltd and in April 2017 it was announced that he would be writing a book entitled The Pengest Munch: In Search of the Nation's 50 Favourite Chicken Establishments, published by Blink Publishing.

Quashie lives in Tottenham in North London. Following his rise to fame, many people speculated about his age as he looks so young, about 16-17 years old. Quashie confirmed to be 23 (as of December 2016) in a tweet he swiftly deleted. This is confirmed by a number of government records stating his date of birth as May 1993. Quashie has also said that he has "no appetite for discussing his age". Quashie is also a renowned Arsenal fan, stating it in his youtube videos and interviews since his rise to prominence.

Quashie started his YouTube channel The Pengest Munch in August 2015, inspired by Gregg Wallace of television series MasterChef and produced by film maker Elishama Udorok. Until December 2016, his videos had around 700 views each, with a total of 150 subscribers. The videos involve Quashie visiting, critiquing and rating chicken shops around London.
