How He Rose To Stardom

Welven Da Great was born Welven Harris in Long Beach, California, on May 31, 1988. According to reports, he was brought up by his aunt alongside his cousins whose identities are not known to the public.

Growing up, Welven may not have had the most pleasant and memorable childhood due to his intellectual and physical disability. What he, however, managed to have was a contagious outgoing personality that distinguished him from other kids from a young age.

With the rise of social media and other video sharing platforms like YouTube in the 2010s, the aspiring entertainer began releasing videos. His first video titled Who Don’t Got No Bitches? earned him a slew of followers across several social media platforms due to his catchphrase “Got Em” and the fact that the video was reposted by A-list celebrities such as Kevin Hart, Russell Simmons, and Martin Lawrence.

By March 2015, Welven Da Great became an instant internet sensation when his second video titled Deez Nuts began making waves within the cyberspace. Deez Nuts garnered over 58,000 views in the first month it was posted on Instagram.

As time progressed, the video kept raking in more views to the point that the Instagram celebrity had over one million Instagram users following him on his page. Unfortunately, the young man fell victim to internet hackers and was forced to relaunch his account. He has since then only managed to amass 80,000 followers.

During the height of Welven’s popularity, he reportedly had an estimated net worth of 100 thousand dollars. At the moment, there are varying figures on the value of his assets but a number of sources claim his net worth sits somewhere between $100,000 and $300,000.
