“I went from being overlooked to overwhelming” – Itele reminisces on his days in the hood as he shares secret to his success

Some victories don’t arrive loudly.
They arrive heavy with memory.

As Ibrahim Yekini, fondly known as Itele, marks a record-breaking moment on YouTube, his reflection wasn’t about numbers alone — it was about distance. The distance between being overlooked and becoming undeniable.

He spoke of that boy from the hood people once ignored. Not with bitterness, but with clarity. A boy who chose discipline over distraction and consistency over excuses. No shortcuts. No unnecessary noise. Just pressure, focus, and stubborn faith in the process.

What made his words land was their honesty. Success didn’t fall into his lap. It was built quietly, repeatedly, when nobody was clapping. And now that the results are loud, the journey speaks even louder.

Using himself as proof, Itele reminded his followers that backgrounds don’t cancel futures. That global impact can rise from overlooked beginnings. That progress is possible when focus refuses to blink.

He didn’t brag.
He testified.

From the hood to the world, his story stands as evidence: when work meets belief, dreams answer.✍️ 👀 ☝️👆 📎
