Several of his videos showcased him personally packaging and shipping out merchandise to fans.

In many of his final uploads from Los Angeles, he was seen frequenting mailrooms and shipping centers, having completely sold out his entire inventory. 

Enewally gained a mᴀssive following through his NBA 2K and Fortnite gaming videos.

He later expanded into broader gaming content, including Let’s Play walkthroughs.
