The man who was bullied when he was in college, and went through his mental turmoils, fought every hurdle and today he is a social media sensation who is bringing a very important message. In his latest reel video on Instagram, the clip starts with a man trying to do a deadlift, when suddenly, another man wearing a white T-shirt, comes in front of him and does something unimaginable.
He slaps the man across his head and starts spewing cuss words at him without any reason.
