Back when Iran started, the teenager had to walk more than 10km to post a video. The poor guy didn’t even have storage space on his cell phone most of the time to record videos. Despite all the hardships, the Brazilian has now amassed more than 50 million followers across all social media. After finally meeting Cristiano Ronaldo, the social media sensation shared his coming-of-age story on social media.
“I first want to thank God for all of this and then to you my troops. After all the difficulty I’ve been through, I would walk more than 10km to post a video and my cell phone had no memory to record them. And today getting to where I am is unbelievable.” Truly one of a kind story. Inspirational!
