People like Kin Kardashian or that Haw Tuah girl has proven to us that you don't need to have any talent or skill to make big.
You just need to go viral for any reason and the important thing is to know how to invest this golden chance you got.

This is like that superstar high school athlete everyone loves for his skill but once he graduates and can’t play anymore nobody cares for him anymore. Very sad

He would walk around Vegas like he was a big celeb with a big entourage. I saw him once some guy tried to sneakily take a picture of him as he walked by and a dude that was with Welvin pushed the guy and started to beat on him.
I wouldn’t wish him to be homeless or anything but I certainly don’t feel bad for him

He definitely deserves that level of respect still too. I am not saying he's the most deserving of talented man of all time, but he certainly doesn't deserve the homeless or the hate he gets.

he doesn't deserve the hate or to be homeless, but he doesn't deserve the respect of being super famous.

100% agree. I am not saying he should be recognized as an A-list celebrity but most definitely not homeless and broke

Also met him in Vegas about the same time. I wanted to get a photo with him with a buddy and he asked us for $100. Said we didn’t have cash and he told us to fuck off then 🤷
