Summary
On this episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend and fellow streamer, to talk about his journey to becoming a Muslim, what it's like being in the entertainment industry as a Muslim and what it means to be a streamer.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
The more things become formulaic, the more people are going to want what's real.
00:00:03.840
Right. I mean, what has been the reception now becoming a Muslim,
00:00:08.260
joining, you know, this global ummah, meeting people from all walks of life?
00:00:11.840
Have you seen a transition in terms of the fan base, in terms of the content?
00:00:14.920
Like, has that had to be something that you have to, like, be more conscious of now that you're Muslim?
00:00:20.020
No, like, the content and even the stuff you're producing, like, has Islam taken,
00:00:25.640
made you take a different approach to content creation?
00:00:27.660
Of course. You know, there's a different, I grew up without that community and now I'm in the middle of it.
00:00:34.440
So it's a responsibility, but it's a good responsibility.
00:00:37.480
And it's a good reminder of what you're supposed to put out there.
00:00:40.400
The best example is the gambling that's become so popular in the streaming world, right?
00:00:46.360
Every day I'm reminded that I could take, you know, multi, multi-millions to gamble online,
00:00:53.220
But I refuse to because of, you know, because of these, being a Muslim.
00:00:59.640
So it's just reminded about what I'm supposed to do.
00:01:02.320
And of course I make mistakes, but I try my best to put out what's right.
00:01:07.000
How do you do with the constant pressure of, like, live streaming, of, you know, of those potential things?
00:01:11.860
Yeah, you have to see a little bit of behind the scenes right now.
00:01:14.000
So you come in here, I get out of the car, I was taking a nap in the Uber, long drive from the city.
00:01:18.180
I get here to Long Island, I wake up, I step out and everyone, there's just chaos, you know.
00:01:22.000
Trying to set up the Wi-Fi, the phone's not working, the camera, people, you know.
00:01:27.020
It's like, you know, I'm blessed to be in this position.
00:01:30.700
It's like as soon as it sets up and lights, acts, and camera, you've got to kind of almost perform to a certain extent.
00:01:34.660
Obviously, you're being yourself, but, you know, do you ever feel that people may have a different perception of you,
00:01:39.900
maybe based on what they see online versus maybe what, you know, who you really are?
00:01:43.040
Yeah, sometimes I think people expect me to put on a show, like they'll see me if I'm doing,
00:01:47.700
say I'll go to the laundromat, I'm doing laundry or something, and they're like, whoa!
00:02:01.580
Any advice you have for, you know, future streamers, people that might be watching that maybe want to enter into that world,
00:02:06.420
that maybe are Muslim youth that are debating if it's something for them.
00:02:10.180
What advice would you give for somebody who wants to enter that world?
00:02:13.040
Be yourself, be funny, be entertaining, try not to stray away.
00:02:22.000
And it's also, you know, being a Muslim in that world, it's very conflicting.
00:02:26.020
Because the entertainment world, for the most part, like, it is, a lot of it's haram.
00:02:30.620
Like, so you have to find a way to balance it properly and understand what it is and not to lose yourself.
00:02:39.900
May Allah continue to use you as a means of guidance for others.
00:02:42.440
May Allah continue to have a good eye with you and your family and all those we love.
00:03:28.700
Was it afterwards when he jumped over the cage?
00:03:43.460
Listen, I saw you wearing the hoodie, and you was looking fire there, bro.

00:07:20.200
I have Sonny and Sikev's tickets when they get here.
00:16:43.060

00:26:14.620
You might have to just go ahead and do your thing.
00:26:53.700
If you need any, like, any questions, I know you got, you know, Shake Ufman.
00:27:23.300
I might have to challenge him in the next life.
00:34:09.580
Like, well, I can't even hear what you're talking about.
00:34:15.060
So, I run the, sorry, I run the Times Square Dawah booth.
00:34:17.840
I know, like, you know, we're shaking the mind you guys do Dawah.
00:34:20.180
If you guys ever come to New York and come to Times Square.
00:35:53.260
But the thing is, like, they start saying, like,
00:35:56.300
I'm just like, you know, I don't know what to do.
00:36:38.400
And we're going to take a picture really quickly.
00:36:45.640
And we're going to come and just like bother you one day.
00:36:52.760
Do you want to do you want it to do an interview?
00:37:32.400
I'm here to listen to one of my favorite fighters speak.
00:37:45.480
And you're a really good influence on the youth.
00:37:51.220
Sometimes I, you know, sometimes I think I have low self-esteem.
00:37:56.160
I don't know if it's low self-esteem, but I'm always...
00:38:51.320
And you're speaking of Muslims and also exposing the agenda.
00:39:04.000
33 is the age of Jesus Christ upon him when he got raised to the heavens.
00:39:27.560
So I got a book that you're going to like and show up.
00:39:35.720
Wait, did you get this beforehand knowing I was going to show up here?
00:39:38.500
To be honest, some of them yes, some of them will.
00:39:49.120
Do you think we can keep that here in this room or would it be safe here?
00:40:33.160
When we showed up here, I was asleep in the car.
00:40:35.480
I woke up and then the guy was supposed to let us in.
00:42:00.340
Hey, I want to give a shout out to Mr. Beast for doing that.
00:42:08.880
It was funny seeing Dan Clancy only donate $1,000.
00:42:16.380
Yeah, I understand, like, you know, people are on Twitch and, you know, they have brand
00:42:20.980
deals and stuff and, but, yeah, it is what it is.
00:42:32.240
And I would love to see influencers do that more.
00:42:46.560
I don't know why everyone, like, willfully ignores it.
00:42:48.920
But, you know, make a lot of money from, well, I mean, they make a lot of money from gambling.
00:42:54.620
It's like you should have a responsibility to do something good with it, too.
00:43:10.380
Bilal Muhammad said I did well against Strickland.
00:43:12.740
If you get unbanned on YouTube, then, um, I mean, yeah, there's one thing that was interesting
00:43:31.200
about, I was watching that stream yesterday, it's just, like, how possible it is to get
00:43:37.140
Like, it's literally at the, like, right in front of me.
00:43:39.440
I feel like, like a science experiment, like a rat chasing a piece of cheese at the end
00:43:47.560
But it's literally, like, right in front of my whiskers.
00:43:52.420
Like, Dan Clancy, the Twitch, and Mr. Beast on the same call with people that I stream with
00:44:10.160
I mean, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
00:44:29.540
I've seen you on the screen, so it's good to see you.
00:44:38.300
So I was saying, because Brother SQ, he also has, you know, supported our New York
00:44:43.420
So we have a Dawah table every week in Times Square.
00:44:46.060
So if you're ever, you know, in the city, every Saturday, we do it from 8 to 12.
