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. 

The star also shared glimpses of his life with his four million subscribers, including videos like one where he took fans through ‘a day in the life of a young Black millionaire’ in Los Angeles.
