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💯💯💯
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!!
As someone that doesn't talk to their mom cause of all the fuck shit she put me through, big respect for putting it behind you and being at peace with her.
It’s rare that the child decides to be the bigger person, props to him for real. I hope I can get that way with my mom cuz I’m the pettiest nigga alive
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 CZcams 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.
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.
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 💯💯
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
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!! 🥂
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 😂😂💪🏾
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 💯🙏
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
"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.
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!
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 😊
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 knew my man grew up wild just looking at his unc and how his mom talks. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but my man is planting his own trees now. I don't even wanna call him Peaks because that's just a screen name. I'd dap him up on his real name.
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.
Wallah, I Hope i run into peaks and his team and family and I hope I can spend quality time with them. I felt like I was there eating a meal with him. Love you Peaks, Go crazy this summer 2024!
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 🙏
This was awesome to hear man. I’m glad you and your lady are giving your kids the world. They will love and appreciate everything y’all did for them for the rest of their lives.
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.
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!
🔥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. 💯
I had a wild childhood too and got out of all of it and went down a path I would never have imagined. Your story is a powerful testament and I’m glad you shared it. Your entire family is amazingly strong to get out of all of that. Salute.
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
This the best video u ever dropped bro I been there n became successful from u n ya life ya story definitely relates to me n my life appreciate you opening up peaks
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!
Peaks you’re so blessed 🙏🏽 your platform and audience will continue to grow because of your authenticity and consistency.

Thank you for this. For all those who grew up with similar circumstances, you are a success story; an example that you can make it out. I sometimes, when the camera isn’t on, you think about how you MADE IT. You broke the cycle. You should be damn proud about that.
I respect your grind bro thats good you're sharing your story to the world this could motivate and change people's lives keep on grinding and being a positive role model salute

Vlog more peaks! I love getting to know you and this story was sad but uplifting at the same time cuz you made it out, are a great husband and father, and your mom quit drinking. I love these type of videos man
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.

really felt this comment
Yea we all human and make mistakes. If she willing to fix the mistakes there is nothing wrong with moving forward and forgiving
Man I called my dad this year after not talking to him for 16 years because of my childhood. It felt good as fuck letting the bullshit of our past go.
Same
