In an emotional and unapologetically honest message to his followers, viral content creator Yagga opened up about the personal struggles he faced at the beginning of his journey. His story is one of doubt, resilience, and a relentless drive to prove that belief in oneself is stronger than any outside opinion.
Yagga reflected on how, four years ago, he made the difficult decision to distance himself from close friends and family members. It wasn’t out of bitterness or pride, but rather self-preservation. Every time he mentioned his dreams of making it in the online space or generating income through content creation, he was met with skepticism—except from his older brother, who remained his only source of support.
He admitted that the choice to cut ties was not an easy one. “It’s not that I wanted to lose those people. I was just tired of speaking dreams into ears that didn’t want to hear them,” he said, his words carrying the weight of frustration and growth. For Yagga, pursuing a non-traditional path meant walking alone, at least at first.
His decision to start posting on TikTok during the COVID-19 lockdown was met with outright discouragement. He recalled one particular cousin bluntly telling him to stop wasting time and focus on school, insisting the online hustle wouldn’t take him anywhere. But time would reveal a twist of fate. That same cousin later reached out to praise his progress—only to find himself blocked. For Yagga, it wasn’t about revenge, but setting boundaries with people who only show up when success arrives.
The deeper message behind his experience is one that resonates with many aspiring creators: most people cannot comprehend dreams they don’t see for themselves. Yagga explained how those around you may unconsciously impose their limitations on your goals, simply because they don’t believe something so big is possible—especially for someone they know.
“People will talk you out of your vision. They’ll say it’s unrealistic, not because it is, but because they can’t picture themselves doing it. So they assume you can’t either,” he said. His words cut deep into a shared truth for dreamers across the world.
Now thriving in the digital space, Yagga finds irony in being approached by the very people who once dismissed him. Some want to know how he made it, while others try to re-enter his life. His response is clear: “I’m doing it the same way your father didn’t. Harsh? Maybe. But sometimes people’s mouths are too negative to deserve access to your wins.”
He closed his video with a powerful reminder: don’t expect others to understand your dreams. Don’t waste energy convincing people who never wanted to believe in you in the first place. “People can’t see the giant in you because they don’t want to. Sometimes, they just never expected you to rise above them.”
Yagga’s story is more than a personal victory—it’s a rallying cry for anyone choosing the path less traveled. The message? Silence the noise, believe in yourself, and let your success speak the loudest.
