Kadir began his career as a comedian through the comedy group Srimulat, alongside Tarzan, Nunung, Nurbuat, and others.

The man born in Lumajang, East Java, on September 3, 1951, is identified with the Madurese dialect, even though he is not of Madurese descent.

However, Kadir's career in the entertainment world is starting to be replaced. He hasn't even received any shooting offers for five years.

To continue living, the 72-year-old man was forced to sell his house, land, and even his car. Moreover, he also suffers from heart disease.

This makes him have to undergo intensive treatment until a ring is installed. Because it requires a large amount of money, Kadir is forced to sell his assets.

Apparently, the result of the land sale that he obtained was quite large. Not wanting to continuously sell assets, Kadir finally tried his hand at the food business. He is grateful that his income is able to cover daily needs.
