This video, along with his final upload on the same day,
“a regular night with my rich ‘psychotic’ friends,”

His final Instagram post, which he made on February 20, 2025, showed him wearing a DontMindUs jersey. He was grateful for his brand’s success in the caption, giving a glimpse of his entrepreneurial pride just weeks before his death.
