THE RISE OF BILAL ZIANI: A RAW DIGITAL VOICE RESHAPING CULTURE
Who’s Bilal Ziani ?

In a world where millions of videos are posted online every day, standing out has become a digital miracle. Yet, Bilal Ziani, known to his growing audience as @off.zn, has done just that—capturing hearts, minds, and screens with nothing more than his phone, his voice, and his truth.
Ziani, of Franco-Algerian and Moroccan heritage, has rapidly become one of the most followed content creators in the French-speaking digital sphere. His content, grounded in unfiltered humor and anime culture, has positioned him as both a comedic force and a cultural curator.
What sets Bilal apart is not flashy production or marketing tricks—but his raw, relatable presence. In a space often flooded with polished, algorithm-chasing content, Ziani keeps it real. He speaks the language of his audience, capturing street-level humor and geek culture with equal precision.
His videos, often filmed on a smartphone, resonate deeply—racking up millions of views, with a record-breaking 150 million in a single 30-day period. And he’s done it all without sponsorships, agencies, or paid promotion.
Ziani’s reach is growing at an exponential pace. He currently has over 100,000 followers on Instagram and more than 100,000 on his Facebook page, OtakUnited. His audience generates massive engagement, with hundreds of shares and comments per post. These numbers would be notable for any influencer—but for a creator working independently, they’re nothing short of exceptional.
Ziani has crafted a unique hybrid: streetwise humor meets anime fandom. Through his signature style—equal parts meme, punchline, and cultural commentary—he connects two vibrant communities: urban youth drawn to his fearless and funny takes, and anime enthusiasts who value his deep knowledge and curated clips. His Facebook platform, OtakUnited, has grown into one of the leading French-speaking anime communities, and it's fast becoming a hub for fans of Japanese animation, manga debates, and anime nostalgia.
Ziani's impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. He’s received organic recognition from major public figures and brands—without a single paid post. Among his notable followers and supporters are GMK, one of the most recognized automotive influencers; PLK, a major figure in French rap; Black M, former member of Sexion d’Assaut; and actor Embarek Ouasini. Even Ford, the global car manufacturer, has interacted with his content. These unsolicited endorsements reflect not only Ziani’s popularity, but also the cultural relevance of his voice.
Recently, Bilal Ziani received official verification on Instagram, a status reserved for public figures and high-profile creators. The blue badge affirms his influence and opens new doors for partnerships with media outlets, institutions, and global brands. But for Ziani, recognition hasn’t changed his approach. He remains focused on what matters most: staying true to himself.
Ziani is more than a content creator. He’s a symbol of representation for a generation of young people—particularly those from North African backgrounds—who see themselves reflected in his words, his references, and his unwavering authenticity. His journey is proof that you don’t need big budgets or industry backing to reach millions. All you need is a voice—and the courage to use it.
With Facebook and Instagram under his belt, Ziani is well-positioned to conquer new platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or Twitch. While collaboration offers are pouring in, he continues to prioritize creative freedom. The future may include launching a personal brand or merchandise line under OtakUnited, partnerships with anime, gaming, or streetwear companies, and appearances at pop culture events and conventions.
In a saturated content economy, Bilal Ziani stands out as a rare blend of talent, authenticity, and cultural insight. He isn’t chasing trends—he’s setting them. And in doing so, he’s becoming not just an influencer, but a voice of a generation.
