That kind of touched me.
Exactly
I don't know that
And i think he is indian.

Damn, he rented out a shop to take the clients of the place that didn’t hire him. What a G.
And now he can buy his shop 10x over haha.

why would he be discriminated against?
@@Sqizzyman doubt he faced alot of discrimination, can't really see why anyone would discriminate against him just because he's Vietnamese

@@thinkinghmmmm sure i just don't see why anyone would discriminate against him
They shud make a movie about him. This a true underdog story. Love it how he keeps in touch, and still recognizes the people who helped him throughout the years.

This is inspiring thanks Vice !

"If I can make it, you have no reason why you cannot make it." - Johnny Dang
Absence of opportunity is a very good reason.
@@eveangelique6624 yea but I don’t mind if they are just trying motivate
@@eveangelique6624 you're waiting for an opportunity that's where you're going wrong and why you'll never get anywhere. try making opportunities for yourself
that one hit me
Johnny Dang easily gains everybody's respect by being so humble
I like how humble he is even after all his success. He still is great friends his old flea market colleagues. Just a genuinely hard-working guy making it big but never forgetting where he came from. He could easily let all the fame and fortune get to his head, I mean...have you seen the color scheme of that Rolls Royce? Behind all that ice, just a hard-working, funny guy.
PeenutButterJelly I think that’s the reason why he’s so successful
@@ziggyz4647 it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor to him, he's a genuinely nice guy to all and everyone he knows is so happy for his success
You sense no ego just from his speech
It's probably because he came from poverty and shows respect to everyone, where people born into wealth sometimes look down on those they see as below them.
I would love to meet him I'd do business with him if I had that kind of $$$
I had the pleasure of meeting this dude in 2010. I was in Sharpstown Mall, leaving after doing some shopping... and there he was, walking into his shop! I Shouted his name, he stopped and shook my hand and we exchanged a few words. Any other rich dude, would've ignored me and kept walking, but this man made some time to speak to me, like a human being.
His hustle is amazing, but I'm sure his success is partly due to his humble attitude. 10/10 man right here!
Johnny a real one!
yeah and i met the rock a the gym yesterday
Cloudz guess you can say, it rocks
Johnny did my first grill way back in 2001 in Sharpstown Mall, way before he ever got his own shop in Greenspoint Mall, glad to see this dude really come up and he does have the best prices in the city
I've been working at Sharpstown for 3.5+ years and I've only seen him once but he was on the phone 😓
My guy stayed down and stayed humble, never forgot the people who he started with and who helped him. He fasho deserve all the success he got right now, God will def keep blessing this man.
what is even more note worthy is he actually knows and keeps up with the artists and people who shout him out he remembers all of them and that tells me he pays attention to details.
"If i can make it there's no reason you can't make it"
-Jonhy Dang
Unfortunately, there is a reason. That’s why there’s only 1 of him and million of people that didn’t make it. It’s all about work and luck, and you need em both.
@@Acypha you can always find an excuse not to succeed. This man didn't have electricity or clean drinking water. He's an inspiration.
@2Stroke Tyson this has little to do with the rich people you know. This guy worked hard and ended up being successful. You can either find inspiration from his story, or you can protect your ego and pretend all rich people have it easier than you.
@2Stroke Tyson he made it to the absolute highest power in the free world from that small loan. That is inspirational if I have ever seen it.
@2Stroke Tyson Rich people get loans all the time if youre new to the scene bro
This man's living the American Dream y'all
The “American dream” yes when America invades your country murders millions of people creates a generation of severe poverty then a tiny percentage of people make up for their insecurities by making diamonds for people a literally useless rock that has value in a market economy because it is doled out in small amounts

Dang, Johnny came to Houston 2 years before I moved there after graduating college. I remember his shop at the Sharpstown mall. I used to see him ever so often. Here he is so many years later so successful. I never was into jewelry like that but respect his grind and his story.
I love how humble he is and still keeping his friends and loyal for not forgetting who fed him
This man puts the ICE in Vice
INDEED 🙌
THIS MAN is humble he deserve this blessings, A REAL ONE
Do you know how many people are slaved and how many die in the jewelry business? If you only knew, just a bit, a little bit, you would not think this man deserve this "blessings".
@@phictograma what I'm saying is this man came with nothing to this country and made it work for him and doing good for him self and he is still a humble person didn't let the fame or money get to he's HEAD

꧁ ৡۣۜ͜͡ DISCO KING ৡۣۜ͜͡ ꧂ Questoes is just a fucking idiot. Johnny worked from the bottom, from poverty to the top. He deserves it, he’s a hardworking man.
@@phictograma lmao so got any evidence he's doing this to people in his own business workers looked fucking happy doing what they love we're not like ur fucking Mexican country or some shit
What is at the heart of this man’s business is his creative spark! He’s an artist, who not only revolutionised this niche industry, but is driving it forward by trying to stay fresh and relevant. He is a chameleon - he has this unique ability to read his customers and create a perfect piece, based on their previous pieces (whether they’ve come from his shop or not). He gives them what they didn’t know they wanted and holds fast to the tenets of a good salesman - it’s all about under promising, over delivering and the respect and relationship he nurtures with each client. In essence...he must also sell himself. His resilience and success seem to hinge on strictly being above board in his business dealings, taking care of the people who helped build his empire (they’re not just his employees, they’re part and parcel of what makes the business work and you can see the comfort and mutual respect that is engendered), maintaining his sobriety and customer care so as to be an asset, not a liability, and finally.....staying creative and relevant and loving every second of the job. This was a great peek into a world I don’t know!
Great analysis. Def something to learn from
@@yawillykwily7179 thank you so so much! What a kind comment, I enjoyed writing this analysis ❤️

Lmao he just didn’t want to say the wrong thing seem like lmao
He has a unlimited time pass on that,he’s straight.
low key when he said "they", he's talking about the white people
Anyone not black has to watch what they say and make sure that our words are approved by you. So now you're laughing cos he doesn't know what to say. We can't win. You blacks are the racists not us.
Holtzmann 82 u sound do stupid cuz it’s simple it’s African American but Johnny wasn’t sure suprisingly which was funny and u white pple love to feel like ur oppressed
Man I love this story, this is so inspirational. This guy doesn't forget the people who have helped him when he's nothing. I love you man!
Uncle Johnny doing big thangs!
No one even Try’s robbing jonnnnny 🧊
More like: "Uncle Johny doing big dangs!"
Vietnamese youtube friends study abroad in the US, so it's easy to meet Vietnamese with Vietnamese people, it is easy for people to spend a lot of money to buy his diamond and then support 10 million DBZ when appearing in many clips with this man calling people I play DBZ the influence on this youtube friend is great when DBZ is high, this guy runs over to the house saying they pay 10 million DBZ saying that the DBZ system has not been faulty or something saying DBZ is not yours but the owner is behind you only help people but also make people pay 10 million DBZ he promised to pay the original money the other youtube friend bought... the other friend was willing to pay whoever thought he didn't send money he also said the other friend had to advertise Reported DBZ to him, he only returned 6 million DBZ he said you choose to drive Vietnamese chickens or get shot by black Americans ....... for the past 1 month he has always talked bad about you saying that you sold out DBZ You broke your promise, so you can't believe that the other friend will be patient for a long time and don't know what to pay for.

Johnny Dang and Post Molone, two of the most wholesome and humble people in Hip Hop in one room.
I love his warrior mentality, at the mall jewelry shop he used to work in, he said they didn't want to give him a job. So he rented the office on top, he took everyone's costumers!
As I keep watching I think why he’s so successful is because his personality!
And his humble nature..
Sierra Nowegejick yea baby
And his passion, hard working and honesty. The key to his success is his honesty and the way he treats his customers and his employees that what he said in the Vietnamese interview.
Imagine you're working a regular 9-5 at a restaurant and you the bus boy and grab the napkin and feel something solid to open it up to see a full diamond baguette grill jeeeezz.
prolly got thrown away.....
As a former busboy. I’m sad I didn’t open up more used napkins
@@matthewcooper735 LOOL
Id return it to the rapper and get a couple stacks in return
LAWDDDD HAVE MERCY....I would've pocketed it and got sick AF...and had to go home to let it sink in...then took it to the pawn shop and they try to give you $300!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..
MANNNNN I DIDN'T LEAVE WORK EARLY FOR $300 SHIIITTTT!!!😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Vietnamese people…. So humble, down to earth and about their family. Respect ✊.
Being taught/learning from Johnny and doing jewelry without any knowledge is amazing crazy how he will teach people who’s willing to learn
Ironically- Johnny became King of an English word that is very difficult for non native speakers to say....love the way he says grill lol
Really depends on the native speaker. Dutch speakers have no trouble.
what word?
@@MalakhiW do you read
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
That deep mate real deep.
Nipsey Hussle said that
It's when preparation meets inspiration
You created your own opportunity
Man Johnny dang motivates me to be the best version of myself. Dude literally started from nothing and now has everything he’s ever wanted respect
Extremely humble and he gives props to everybody who helped him on his journey. Def a real one.
I remember seeing him a long time ago in Greenspoint Mall when he wasn't nearly as famous as he is now...he was with a huge bodyguard walking around talking to other kiosk jewelers & dappin' them up...I remember thinking man he seems humble af...Fast forward to like 2015 at Paul Walls album release party where I got to actually meet and take pics with him...Johnny definitely a cool cat fr 💯
You are deff right!!! I moved close to houston in 03' from Amsterdam, Conroe to be exact, I was 13.
We went to greenspoint from time to time, me and my pops went in his shop, I remember it vividly!
@@ludosanderz Lol, I'm born and raised in Amsterdam. Can I ask you where you lived and why did you move?
Texas Tom yeah right
@@BB-rt9nc tf I have to lie for, idiot!
when you ignore the accent, he has completely assimilated into the culture. very inspiring for any immigrant.
thomastrouble and honestly I don’t even notice the accent he’s just a cool guy haha
Nah man his accent is vital to culture. It makes him the Dang we know. He more in the culture than some of the rappers he works with.
Just love he praised and loved his past and love seeing how successful he has been 🔥
13:25 "if i can make it, there's no reason why you can't make it" word up
Johnny is that awkward kind of kid everyone likes to be around.
there's something endearing about broken English when u know they mean well

You mean post Malone
😭there’s a kid in my class who’s phillipino and he’s fun to be around
Because he has what everyone wants.
Post malone : Do I look cute?
Johnny : YEAHH!
lol
His story made me cry! I’m so happy for him now!
Respect Johnny for what he's done thru his life. All the best, Johnny and keep it up!
This guy is the most American dude ever. The literal American dream in action. Respect to hard work and no excuses!
The fact that this comment doesn't have more likes amazes me......
So true dude, this is the heart of our great country!
He actually said about Post Malone " I love him long time" LOL
I started DYING at that had to play it back
I was Dead when he said that lmfao😂🤣
They all fuck each other in the ass in hollywood
lol what time stamp ??
Lol thought it was just me who died at that moment
I love coming back to watch this video in particular because I love the story behind Johnny Dang !
This guy seems awesome! Humble even after all the success he's had with his hard work. It's impossible not to like him after watching this.
When he went up the escalator saying "diamond boy" I smiled and thought this fellas doing it!! 👍🏼👍🏼

You won’t believe why dentists hate him!
Lol
It's a joke tho

Everytime I watch this I get butterflies in my chest because I’m passionate about jewelry and I’m going for an associates degree in jewelry technology. Everytime I watch these I get that feeling that one day I’m gonna own my own business and do work with celebrities and do the best work and cater to them. It makes me believe that one day I can become something big and do work and art that someone is gonna cherish not only in the moment but every time they put the piece on their body. Johnny dang and Peter Marco are my two role models. One day man one day I will meet them
Go bro.
See you at the top dawg
Inspirational video, must feel pretty good when everyone around you calls you "the best".
this guy is humble down to earth just by listening to the way he talked to his old folks and people working at the shop. Everybody seem really happy for him. What a G
Johnny dang is a true american success story. So awesome too see. He totally deserves all the recognition and support from musicians and actors he gets. Much love brotha. Keep doing your thang Johnny Dang!
I'm Vietnamese and I'm proud he's doing great my parents actually own a jewelry business and I hope they can grow this big
he was so polite when speaking to vietnamese older dude, mad respect when you got big but still remember your groot
Johnny "oh yeah they lose jewellery all the time" lmao and then he makes more money of em
Peep how he finessed Travis Scott to buying a replacement grill for the one he lost in New York, after already having on ready for him LMAO.
@@AyechinoProd how is that finessing him
It's probably insured tbh
@@fiveyup because when Travis brought out that he lost his grill in New York, Dang immediately said he'll make a replacement grill and Travis complied and you know damn well Travis ain't getting the replacement for free.. Dang jumped on that opportunity immediately and lined his pockets with more money...
@@AyechinoProd why would he get a grill for free? and he lost it...so obviously he wants to get another one. travis is rich as fuck anyways so he's not getting finessed at all
"he was so mad because I took a lot of customer around here, it funny" couldn't agree more 😂
This man is so down to earth. I real genuine humble man. What a great story
It’s really cool seeing a guy come to America to make his life better, and now he’s worth millions and he’s one of the biggest jewelers in the world. Love to see this guy doing well in life.
“well, they called it, african american?"

Yea it wasnt that funny...
He’s loved man, no worries 🤑

Johnny is living the dream, this is inspirational

Im from Houston and I remember when he had his shop at Sharpstown Mall. That was like over 20yrs ago
Yes
Yess
Woww---sooo long ago. Grew up in Houston went to school @ PV...I soo remember this.
For a man look kinda small and seems normal, he just that chill man that hanging out with the world's top dogs from the music industry. And the inspiring back story just melt my heart.

Johnny inspired me to go out and learn how to make jewelry. Work hard play hard
I love Johnny Dang’s story from how he started to where he is now. Every time I hear the story it puts a smile on my face. Good to see he’s doing what he loves with a smile on his face. Wish him nothing but continued success.
Johny dangs from the realest and hard west trenches of em all back in Vietnam damn mad respect for all that hard work and dedication he’s came a long way he deserves the recognition and respect he’s blessed with now 💯👑
Everything flawless from the grills to the chain
I done spent lot of change, now I'm looking like Johnny Dang
From zero to hero, from nothing to everything, Vice needs to cover more stories like this please!
he said he feels "blessed and thankful" not "blessed and so cool" 10:37
Man in US they cool attract people than being just thankful
They loved him, he seems so nice.
god bless you man❤
As another southeast Asian who also came up from nothing, man Johnny Dang’s such an inspiration. Coming to America as immigrants was very hard, especially being placed in the low income areas with all the Brothers n Spanish. Eventually though, we all end up clickin and know we all aren’t so different after all ✊🏼
I Met him months ago before I moved out of Houston his staff and himself are some of the most friendly and honest Individuals I have ever met.
if you are ever in the Houston area go to his shop and check it out don’t be afraid to ask questions.
