One day, you're at the gym listening to his music and the next, he's gifting you one of the world's rarest supercars... That's basically the dynamic between 6ix9ine and YouTuber Steve Will Do It.
Given Steve's recent YouTube videos, it is evident that the two are getting along and close friends. The duo is spending time together in Miami - let's just say recently, they bonded on another level, as the rap star gifted Steve a car worth half a million.
The YouTuber took to IG, expressing his gratitude for the friendship.
"6ix9ine surprised me with a $500,000 McClaren. 1 out of 10 in the world. I give people stuff every week and for someone to give me something meant the world to me.. especially 69..."
"I grew up loving him to death because I worked out to his music every day. My body actually got consumed by weird feeling shit and I cried. I can't believe it."
Given the gesture, it is evident that two are fond of one another. Steve is also helping to reshape the rap star's image, as fans are seeing a different and generous side of him.
Though most fans are wondering, who Steve really is and how he grew to such fame, with millions watching his videos every week.
Steve Was Discovered By NELK
It might be hard to believe, but the YouTuber is only 22 years of age, despite his embarrassment of riches, which includes private jets on the regular, along with the nice toys life has to offer, such as flashy jewelry and dazzling cars.
Despite all the recent success, Steve will be the first to admit that things weren't always so smooth. In fact, back in 2017, he was posting challenges via Instagram.
Viewers would challenge Steve to do some type of stunt, usually involving alcohol. The name 'Steve Will Do It' was later coined and his real coming-out party took place when he was shouted out by NELK.
NELK has a near 7 million followers via YouTube, so let's just say they have quite the reach. Their platform aided Steve's popularity and soon enough, he became a regular on the channel, alongside its founder Kyle.
These days, Steve's persona took a life on its own, and he's thriving with his very own channel.
An Edgier David Dobrik
He might not have 16 million subscribers like David Dobrik, however, his numbers prove that he's getting closer and closer.
At the moment, Steve has a near 4 million subscribers, along with millions of views per vlog episode. His most-watched video has 10 million views and given that his channel is still relatively new, those numbers are only expected to go up.
The videos on YouTube are edgier, though they can be compared to David Dobrik, especially given all the giveaways that frequently take place on his channel.
Steve loves to give back, he's typically doing so by giving away cars to the less fortunate, like Teslas.
In addition, he isn't shy when it comes to giving away money either, he's giving out anywhere between $30K-$50K per episode to the less fortunate.
The structure of his videos features a little bit of everything, including his daily lifestyle which also features drinking and gambling... For that reason, his YouTube funds are at times cut given the edginess involved in some of the videos.
He has other streams of revenue, for the most part, his clothing brand is the biggest money-maker. He'll typically set up giveaways, which increases the power of his merchandise sales.
The videos on YouTube are obviously a huge hit and he's collaborating with all sorts of people, including Steve-O in a recent video.
Though just three days ago, over 4 million fans tuned in to watch his video alongside 6IX9INE.
Fans Are Loving The Friendship
In just three days, the video received over 4 million views, along with 440K likes. Fans are obviously into the duo. Steve is usually the one gifting a car, though this time, the roles were reversed, as the rap star dished out one of the world's rarest McLaren rides.
Fans were nothing but supportive of the gesture in the comments section.
"6ix9ine is really becoming part of their friend group."
"When 6ix9ine got that watch you saw the look at his face no one gets him gifts. He felt that one."
"Steve is CARRYING YouTube I love the boys especially 6ix9ine coming into the group one day ima party with yall ❤️."
Given the love, we can expect to see more of the two alongside one another in future videos.
