Considering he didn’t want to leave Hawaii & said they were “priced out of paradise”, I can only imagine how much receiving an honorary diploma from the high school in his hometown meant to him! So beautiful & special!❤ much love!
So much humility and love, on his journey to fame...he expresses so much love for his family,home, friends, his love shines for the beautiful State of Hawaii and stays true to his roots...it so touches our hearts 💕😢
It's very impressive. There is so much love, no wonder he did not want to leave. He was just one big smile. The world can look at Kahuku and try to be more like them.
Can't help but cry for happiness... Iam, you always make us feel that we all are as ONE in color, race...you yourself unites all races in the world! Love you extremely! You are the world's new IDOL of this new generation! God Bless you brother!
Gosh, it doesn’t matter which video I view of Iam, his heart captures my heart and my tears will begin to flow. I am so proud of this young man right here. Team Iam ATW!!! ‘Congratulations Iam and all Kahuku High School Graduates… Class of 2023.’ Much Aloha from Lahaina, HI.
So happy to watch Iam's homecoming. It looks like a Disney movie. So much love and appreciation. The world loves you Iam. Enjoy your homecoming event. Also I have never seen someone with so many lei, just amazing. 😊
Big congrats Iam on your Kahuku graduation. Now go eat some Ono short ribs, 2 scoops rice and Mac salad for me all the way in Texas. 😀 Sure miss da Ono kine grinds that only Hawaii know how to make. Much aloha and continued prayers in your exciting journey. The world loves you, Iam!❤❤😀
I doubt, by now, there's not a country in the world that has not heard of this gentle giant. He's precious, without an ounce of pretention. When he sings, all the ideas of the song's writer(s) come to life. As the saying goes - "Live long and prosper". Aloha...
He is already a global superstar in his own right. The world loves him for who he is, for his talent, for wanting to represent. For being Iam. The Iam Tongi Effect.
