Thank you for being TRANSPARENT with us. Made me understand you better, and why you go so hard for your family. You have no idea how much your story and testimony motivated me. Keep going peaks, you’ve helped me get through a lot these past couple months since I’ve started watching you, and Shayla. This summer I’m trying to come down to the DMV and try some restaurants down there! Hopefully I’ll run into you guys! God bless, and keep going!
Imma be real… he speaking facts about the alcoholic addiction . I’m an alcoholic and I’m working on change. I went and got blood work and my doctor basically told me my liver ain’t working normal. And her exact words was “Don’t quit cold turkey”! Them withdrawals might kill u! Mannn y’all pray for me fr! And Peaks… keep winning! This video was super real💯💯💯
I don't think Peaks ever had to explain "I'm a good guy at heart" - he has always shown that. In an era where every youtuber is making fake content for clout, always keeps it real with his audience. Wishing him and his family nothing but happiness and prosperity.
Right he truly is making a difference. Every time I hop on TH-cam I search up peaks for a laugh. He’s really helping me through my hard times 😢 and I’m a younger 21 year old girly girly who loves watching girls my age on here that make the type of yt content I aspire to make.. but peaks is always my first thought to come to his videos cause he genuinely makes me laugh and entertains me through my hardships. Even me and my bf share laughs with his videos all the time.
The fact that you didn't let your childhood be an excuse to fall into that lifestyle is a testament to your character. We appreciate you sharing peaks!!
Real touching story bro. To see you come through all of that to now having your own family, being a good dad, forgiving your mom, bringing everybody back together. You are what a 'real one' should be defined as, not this gangbanging drug dealing savage who everybody wants to look upto in the streets. Its real stand up dudes like you who are the REAL role models. Big up each and every time homie.
Ik I’m mad late but I’m glad you posted this Peaks. I’ve always had respect for you and your choice to avoid drugs. Never knew you been through so much cuz most people drag their past and brag about it like you said. Glad you made it out, you’re content really be making my days. Your work ethic and humbleness is what got you here and that’s something I got major respect for. All love bro, keep dropping them 🔥 videos.
damn crazy to know we got the same upbringing, probably why you are my favorite youtuber. i became a father myself this year & i always told myself when i was younger id never put my children what i went through. keep doing what your doing my guy 🦾
Strong Brother! Some of us survive our past but grow up and recreate it. Others survive and go the opposite direction with their decision making. Blessings!
this video was real asf, everyone goes through some type of struggle n it differs for everyone. the fact that you doing what you are with yourself shows you worked extremely hard to be where you’re at n as a fan this video was 💯💯
Thanks for sharing your story. You’re fortunate to have gone down a better path and not let the hardships and trauma affect you. You’re strong-minded and that’s commendable. Keep staying positive and never give up. Would love to hear more stories. You’re a natural storyteller. Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year!! 🥂
the fact that u have so much respect for your mother now when it seems she didnt care enough to take care of you when you needed it most tells me how amazing of a person you are
I can relate to you fam , i was foster child , man i was abused in there , cigarette burns an broken bones . Was eventually adopted but shii still was rough , alot of domestic violence in my household . Struggle after struggle , darkness after darkness. Really was never no happy times for me in my life an if there was i can probably count on one hand . But at the end of the day i got your videos that lift me up . thank for sharing some of your story , blessing to you n yours 💯🙏
Thank you for having the courage to talk about what you have been through.❤️ I’m sure there are people watching who have been through similar things and I hope they can be inspired/encouraged by your sense of strength.🙏🏼
Can still see the hurt in your eyes as you told your story…it all makes sense now why you are such a great father and husband. I have a similar story and through those experiences it made me never want to have my child go through any of it. I am now the father I always wanted to my son. He will never know the pain of abandonment. I applaud you bro keep doing great things. We all ride for EVIL KEITH LEE 😂😂💪🏾
Thanks for this. Love your channel and I'm in a different age bracket. I truly understand, I don't like indulging in alcoholic beverages as much as others due to the things I saw an experienced in my childhood, most people don't understand and can't except that, which is their problem, it's just not fun for me. Keep on keeping on, the past is the past, you're past it. 💯
Peaks BEEN the realest nigga out… the reason I watch him constantly is the way HE CARRIES HIMSELF. A true testament to staying down & being yourself. You INSPIRE MANY. Thanks for your story man, makes me a better person. Thank you man. Loves from KC.
Thanks for this. Lived about 10 years in the homeless shelter in NY in the 90s as a kid. I'm happy that I did experience what I did. it just makes us stronger. Reason why I don't try drugs my dad OD from heroin and I grew up with that around me as a kid.
I just would like to say thank you very much Peaks for being very transparent with us. You didn't have to open up to us, and for that, I greatly appreciate it. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your life with us 😊
I just found out about Peaks a month ago and watching this video made me respect him so much more. Amazing person who makes great and fun content. I learned a lot about you in this video bro. I fuhhh with you bro. ❤ 💯
Wow, you never know what a person has been through by looking at them. You are a REAL a*s person. I’m glad I watched this video. I was already fw you. Now I am 10x more. This is the side of people that needs to be shown more. The REAL. Kudos to you for being accepting instead of sitting on hurt, letting the time pass.
"when people use their past to do drugs and other stuff it's an excuse"!!!!! Some real spill moe, alot of people have been through hell and back and still made a way for themselves . Nobody past should dictate their future a lot of people need to hear this in this generation fr.
damn peaks this shit real. Never know the story behind your favorite content creators but I can tell you been through a lot , preciate you for being real wit us peaks🤞🏾
Peaks thanks for sharing your testimony. I agree Peaks!!! There is DYSFUNCTION and CHAOS in ALL families. All families experience some sort of DYSFUNCTION. In my honest OPINION Peaks!!! You are a good man and family man. I RESPECT YOUR GRIND. You work hard ( legitimate work ) and you protect, provide for and take care of your family. Peaks you are a good HUSBAND and you are also a good responsible FATHER. Peaks continue to do what you do. Keep up the good work. Im wishing you ( Peaks ) and your family a PROSPEROUS and Happy New Year.
Yo peaks I was one of those people who had a horrible childhood too, our past is what makes us stronger to be better men in the future. I think of it as a humbling experience now days, I’m glad I went through what I did. You ain’t born with resilience you acquire it
Thanks for sharing your childhood with us peaks we wouldve never knew what you been through, i hope your kids are successful like you and see the fine things in life.
Be proud of how far you have come Peaks. This heavy G, I see why you have N uplifting personality because of how rough life was for you. I see u and ur OG have grown from that. Stay out the substances, trust me, they are bullshit. Keep up the good work! I will continue to support this content. You and up your girl seem chill asl and keep doing y’all thing. I love seeing black people shine fr
This was a serious drop Fam....I'm glad you were able to keep it together and presevere .You are a role model to all the yung'ns out here watching you Shine ! May you be blessed w/ultimate SUCCESS.
Thanks for sharing your story Peaks. You definitely are an example of that saying that where you come from doesn't define who you are. You seem to have done a great job with creating a new generational trajectory for your family.
Gotta appreciate the vulnerability you showing bro, shit like this is only gonna solidify your fanbase. You doing a damn good job as a father from what i cam see man and doing a great job at not repeating the cycle of poverty you saw as a kid my g. Keep going!
Mid video here Peaks. Your childhood experience is def central and personal to you. 58 year old Army Vet here. Love your sharing with us and not saying that you're ashamed of what happened but I can appreciate that you held it close to your heart and decided to share it. All of your past can do one or two things for you, make you an aware and better person or totally the opposite. I wasnt in foster care but my mom was abandoned by my father with 13 kids and she made it happen for us on the daily. I myself tried to defend my mom from my dads violence when I was probably about 8ish that I can remember. Heck, I didnt drink until I was about 20 in the military and afterwards didnt smoke until I was 32 after leaving my wife and going to a bar with "friends". Everything you've been thru as a child and thru teen is shaping you to the person who you are now. Kind of off topic but I lived thru bell bottoms (well my older bros and sis) and skinny jeans and the like, but my point is what comes around goes around and you will hear stories from younger peeps and you will be like DAMN I been thru that and you may offer them your knowledge and experience.... Watch and see. You're a better person and will continue to grow because of your past. ❤🇺🇸👍🏽 Oh, back to the video 😂 Ok, watched till the end. P.S. Peaks... You really dont have to explain everything that happened in detail because thats not what your channel is about. We def appreciate you sharing. Its awesome that you're an open book but if peeps wanna get that deep with you, they can sub to your Patreon and pay extra for the counseling. We love you for your content so keep keeping on and keep doing what you do! I'm not speaking for your thousands of subs but we just watching to see whats good and whats not and if you will take that drink with or without the straw 😂😂😂 Keep entertaining us bro 💪🏽
Story really hit home for me. We had very similar childhoods my friend. I've always said to myself growing up that i never wanted to be a victim of my own society because although we all aren't dealt a great hand we can overcome the diversity & use what we've been through to be better people for ourselves and our families. thanks for sharing much love.
You were destined for greatness at an early age peaks. I don’t come from a background like yours but i do know what it’s like having to grow up at a young age. You’re still here and thriving with the same group and that’s a blessing. Keep going hard!
Big facts I’m from Chicago south side n da shit I went through made me da man I am today n I ain’t pick up no drugs jus cause da shit I went through growin up I gotta family to take care of 💯 keep doin ya thang my boa on foenem
congrats to your mom on her sobriety. changing yourself for the better is self love and strength. and people idolize their parents too much and forget that they are just people too
Much respect to you bro i grew up with an alcholic mother and she used to have shithead abusive boyfriends and she just couldnt be a good mom but i forgive her for all the shit she has put me through i got truancy hated school all that i fuck with you peaks ypur a real one man salute keep up your grind the lord is with you know that
Peaks you one of the realest vloggers frfr, I been fucking with you for awhile and i appreciate you sharing your lifes story with us. You're an inspiration many people including myself and you've motivated me to start doing TH-cam and even put me on some fashion brands and shit. I think its dope af that you've learned from your upbringing and aren't repeating the same cycle with your kids as sometimes people tend to do, I respect that you don't seem bitter about your past and if anything you embrace it while remaining humble about it. Salutes to you bro!!
Damn Peaks Bruh I’m in the process of gaining joint custody now with a scorned vindictive mother. Your testimony is much motivation for Me All I need to do is have patience and endure to make it through Thaks Peaks 100
This was a very great topic because its not talked about enough. My husband was in foster care system and I told him he could really help people in the system but he is people shy so maybe not yet but praying God will lead hi, into a destination as such if its Lords will. Thank you for sharing your story buddy. Much Love.
Nuff respect Peeks. Keep being the amazing Husband, Father and business man that you are. And don't hold nobody in your past accountable for your future... you spoken like ah boss 👊 👊 One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
Thank you for telling your story, it takes a lot to open up and let people know about your past. As a long time viewer, I appreciate this. I have mad respect for you Peaks 🙏
Thanks Peaks for sharing your story. I can so relate being that my mom was an verbally abusive alcoholic & dad on crack cocaine. I had to grow up at the age of 8 living between my mother & father. Never felt loved, unless i was doing for my mother and father. Still til this day, and im 46 and my Son is 27. I stayed prayed up and only time will tell when my heart will heal. ❤🙏
Nothing but RESPECT Peaks! We all have our dark pasts, some darker than others. You've withstood a lot and should live proudly everyday knowing you're creating a new path for yourself and your family 💯🙌🏼🔥
This is so real of you to tell this story , much respect to you and your mom. We love your mom. Everyone has a past which is why we live , learn & overcome. Your mom is a walking testimony. Much love. ❤
I went through foster care too. You’re a better person than me. You’re blessed to have a supportive and good family who cares about you. I have a similar life but my family was the opposite. Nobody wanted to take me in and I had to grow up on my own.
I’m just seeing this video but I have so much respect for you for going through all that and choosing a different path. A lot of people don’t have the same mindset as you and go down a bad path. This one hits home because my sister is one of those people. Your kids are blessed to have an amazing father and mom in their life. These experiences just tend to create the best type of people which you’re an example of. Salute to you my brother 🫡
Man you where born in Montgomery County like me, Takoma Park, Things could have went way differently for you but you made it out, not only you but mom also, It's great to see you being such a positive roll model to your kidds and a great husband, Keep grinding
🔥Good shyt brova . I’m from SE Dc and moved to PG later on and I understand how you feel. It takes a lot to open up to people, yet alone the world. Sometimes it’s ok to open up and the eyes never lie bro . I can see it in your face when you talk about these things . It make you see a more clear prospective moving away from the bs . It makes you a better person and parent . Cause you will most likely not make those same mistakes the more you open up about what you had to see . Proud of you fam . Keep pushing G. 💯
That was deep. Folks never know what people go thru. I know you didn't even touch the surface of it all. I can relate to a lot of what you said. Glad you didn't let your past define your future. Thanks for giving us a lil back story on your life. Love your vids. Much love to you and the fam.
I respect Peaks a lot for being a man and choosing to break the cycle of vices and unstable situations and seeing that he’s doing better with his family, good on you Peaks, you a real dude
This is one of my fave videos of yours. Kudos for sharing your story everything you said was real genuine shit and much respect for making sure your kids live better than you did 💯 we def need more specific story times
Ngl man I really feel more connected to you from this video I dealt with the same shit growing up! Mad respect for you telling your story and owning up to alot! You fr my favorite youtuber man! All the blessings to you and your family, you truly deserve everything great coming your way!
wow thank you for sharing something so personal. i wish nothing but success for you peaks. you're a really humble guy who speaks his mind no matter what people may feel. if you ain't feeling it then you straight up tell them.
Peaks you’re so blessed 🙏🏽 your platform and audience will continue to grow because of your authenticity and consistency. Definitely bigger than just food reviews, people rock with you because you are so real and it doesn’t go unnoticed. This is hard work! Wishing you and your family nothing but continued success and blessings❤️
Peace and love to you brother. I’m so proud of you because you overcame and walked through the valley of death and made it. You have a beautiful family and continue to keep them safe in this crazy world. Now someone said that this is your mother’s story. Well he is WRONG, anyone who is addicted to anything, their family members are Co depended of that addiction. I destroyed my family after I got of the military and it took me 25 years to TAKE back my life. Keep being a positive influence for the family and many blessings to your mother for her journey because I been where she was and it’s either fight to live or die. She wanted to live. Stay strong and many blessings. Shalom 🙏❤️
Thank you for being TRANSPARENT with us. Made me understand you better, and why you go so hard for your family. You have no idea how much your story and testimony motivated me. Keep going peaks, you’ve helped me get through a lot these past couple months since I’ve started watching you, and Shayla. This summer I’m trying to come down to the DMV and try some restaurants down there! Hopefully I’ll run into you guys! God bless, and keep going!
I’m glad the story was able to motivate you🙏🏽 that’s what it’s all about. Thanks for supporting me

Peaks you one of the realest vloggers frfr, I been fucking with you for awhile and i appreciate you sharing your lifes story with us.
You're an inspiration many people including myself and you've motivated me to start doing TH-cam and even put me on some fashion brands and shit.
I think its dope af that you've learned from your upbringing and aren't repeating the same cycle with your kids as sometimes people tend to do,
I respect that you don't seem bitter about your past and if anything you embrace it while remaining humble about it. Salutes to you bro!!
Thank god for this man, you really spoke hope in this one thank you dawg
Damn Peaks Bruh
I’m in the process of gaining joint custody now with a scorned vindictive mother.
Your testimony is much motivation for Me
All I need to do is have patience and endure
to make it through

This was a very great topic because its not talked about enough. My husband was in foster care system and I told him he could really help people in the system but he is people shy so maybe not yet but praying God will lead hi, into a destination as such if its Lords will. Thank you for sharing your story buddy. Much Love.
Nuff respect Peeks. Keep being the amazing Husband, Father and business man that you are. And don't hold nobody in your past accountable for your future... you spoken like ah boss 👊 👊 One love from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago ❤ 🇹🇹.
Thank you for telling your story, it takes a lot to open up and let people know about your past. As a long time viewer, I appreciate this. I have mad respect for you Peaks 🙏
Thanks Peaks for sharing your story. I can so relate being that my mom was an verbally abusive alcoholic & dad on crack cocaine. I had to grow up at the age of 8 living between my mother & father. Never felt loved, unless i was doing for my mother and father. Still til this day, and im 46 and my Son is 27. I stayed prayed up and only time will tell when my heart will heal. ❤🙏
I have a new found respect for you. It’s not hard to open up or keep it 100. It is hard to steer away from hurt though.
I respect you bra it takes a lot for a person 2 talk about there past 💯
Nothing but RESPECT Peaks! We all have our dark pasts, some darker than others. You've withstood a lot and should live proudly everyday knowing you're creating a new path for yourself and your family 💯🙌🏼🔥
This is so real of you to tell this story , much respect to you and your mom. We love your mom. Everyone has a past which is why we live , learn & overcome. Your mom is a walking testimony. Much love. ❤
I love you ❤
I went through foster care too. You’re a better person than me. You’re blessed to have a supportive and good family who cares about you.
I have a similar life but my family was the opposite. Nobody wanted to take me in and I had to grow up on my own.
Big boy truth telling. Hopefully this reaches the right people & gives them hope & courage.
I’m just seeing this video but I have so much respect for you for going through all that and choosing a different path. A lot of people don’t have the same mindset as you and go down a bad path. This one hits home because my sister is one of those people. Your kids are blessed to have an amazing father and mom in their life. These experiences just tend to create the best type of people which you’re an example of. Salute to you my brother 🫡
Man you where born in Montgomery County like me, Takoma Park, Things could have went way differently for you but you made it out, not only you but mom also, It's great to see you being such a positive roll model to your kidds and a great husband, Keep grinding
Mad respect for sharing your story peaks. Shit wasn’t easy I could tell but it made you. Keep on doin ya thang peaks and inspiring others out here!
🔥Good shyt brova . I’m from SE Dc and moved to PG later on and I understand how you feel. It takes a lot to open up to people, yet alone the world. Sometimes it’s ok to open up and the eyes never lie bro . I can see it in your face when you talk about these things . It make you see a more clear prospective moving away from the bs . It makes you a better person and parent . Cause you will most likely not make those same mistakes the more you open up about what you had to see . Proud of you fam . Keep pushing G. 💯
That was deep. Folks never know what people go thru. I know you didn't even touch the surface of it all. I can relate to a lot of what you said. Glad you didn't let your past define your future. Thanks for giving us a lil back story on your life. Love your vids. Much love to you and the fam.
I respect Peaks a lot for being a man and choosing to break the cycle of vices and unstable situations and seeing that he’s doing better with his family, good on you Peaks, you a real dude

Wishing you and your family nothing but continued success and blessings❤️
Love the story. Thank you for sharing. Tell you mom ty too❤
Peace and love to you brother. I’m so proud of you because you overcame and walked through the valley of death and made it. You have a beautiful family and continue to keep them safe in this crazy world. Now someone said that this is your mother’s story. Well he is WRONG, anyone who is addicted to anything, their family members are Co depended of that addiction. I destroyed my family after I got of the military and it took me 25 years to TAKE back my life. Keep being a positive influence for the family and many blessings to your mother for her journey because I been where she was and it’s either fight to live or die. She wanted to live. Stay strong and many blessings. Shalom 🙏❤️
