On Jan. 29, he uploaded a video titled “I’ve Been a Millionaire for 6 Years & I’m Still Lost.”

His most recent video was uploaded on Feb. 24. The vlog titled “a regular night with my rich ‘psychotic’ friends” had over 218,000 views.
Another post on Feb. 21, was titled “Why this is my last month living in Los Angeles,” and explained why he planned to moved to Atlanta.
“I’ve been here in Los Angeles my whole life — grew up here, raised, went to school, all that,” he said. “But one thing I’ve been feeling as of recently, I feel like I’m in a place where I need to meet new people.”
Enewally recorded the video from a car with a woman he referred to as his “twin.”
He said he wanted to get out of his comfort zone. “I feel like I need that in this stage of my career and just in general,” the influencer explained.
He added that when he got older, he wanted to be able to talk to his children about different places to live.
“I’m 26 years old right now, but when I’m older and I have kids one day… I want to be able to say, I lived here, and I lived here, and I lived here, not just one place for the rest of my life,” he explained.
The YouTuber said he wanted to focus on his product line in a place where he could “meet a lot of like-minded people” who share his mentality as an entrepreneur.
“L.A. is very saturated,” he said.
