Fellow YouTuber COLETHEMAN paid tribute to his friend on X, with a touching post.

Enewally rose to popularity when he started posting NBA 2K and Fortnite gaming videos on YouTube — amassing almost 4 million subscribers.

He also shared a glimpse into his opulent lifestyle with videos like, “My new $6,000,000 lakehouse mansion” and “A day in the life of a young black millionaire”.

A month ago, Enewally opened up to fans about feeling “lost”, revealing that his viewership was declining and he felt uncertainty about the future of his content.

His last YouTube video “a regular night with my rich ‘psychotic’ friends” was published two weeks ago.
