He gained popularity by creating videos of himself playing NBA 2K and Fortnite, and later started making general guides for popular video games known as “Let’s Plays”.

He also had his own streetwear brand DontMindUs.

Aside from gaming, P2istheName gave fans a glimpse into his personal life with vlogs showing “a day in the life of a young black millionaire” in L.A.

In his most recent Instagram update on February 19, he shared a photo of himself loading DontMindUs packages into a van, sporting a red and black jersey from the brand.

In another slide in the same post, he appeared to be in a mailroom or shipping facility, surrounded by inventory.

He had previously expressed his enthusiasm for the brand by posting: “The journey continues to improve. @dontmindus all year long. Thank you, God.”

Philip’s videos once reached millions of viewers – with some boasting more than 13 million.

However, viewership had dwindled over recent years to around 20,000 to 60,000 views – with Philip opening up about feeling “lost” on the platform.
