Nas Daily went from gaining over 300
million views a month, traveling the
world, and making millions of dollars to
being called out for racism, scamming,
and cultural exploitation.
Now, he's struggling to hit 100,000
views per video, even with 14 million subscribers.
subscribers.
>> So, in terms of revenue, right, we
roughly make 500. >> Wow.
>> Wow.
>> 500 600 a month.
>> Can you like rank the income streams?
>> Yes. Remember this quote. You either die
a hero or you live long enough to become
the villain.
>> One of the biggest controversies that
started this downfall came when he
featured a 103-year-old tattoo artist
from the Philippines and was accused of
turning her culture into a paid online
course. The internet saw it as
exploitation and Nas's reputation
started to crumble. But what's even
worse is that this wouldn't be the last
time he mocked the Philippines and this
was only the beginning of the bigger
scandal that would follow. But to
understand how a Harvard educated tech
worker became one of the most hated
creators on the internet, we have to go
back to where it all began. Nasir Yasin
was born to a Palestinian Arab Muslim
family in a small city called Araba in
Israel, which already seems like a
complicated background, but he was smart
and got into Harvard at just 19 years
old to study aerospace engineering
through a scholarship. His first YouTube
video was back in 2012 when he and his
Harvard buddies literally sent a
hamburger into space using a weather
balloon, calling it Operation Skyfall.
The video blew up and got 500,000 views
in less than 20 days, which was insane
for a first upload. But instead of
jumping into content creation right
away, Nas finished his degree and went
to work in tech, making good money at
companies like Venmo. But in the back of
his mind, he remembered how powerful the
internet could be. So in 2016, Nas came
back with a clear mission that would
change everything. He decided to upload
one short video every single day for a
thousand days straight, showing stories
from around the world. Hi. What I'm
holding right now is a very powerful
piece of paper because this is the
world's strongest passport and it
doesn't belong to any of the countries
you expect. Not the US, not China, not
the UK or Iceland. It belongs to a tiny
tiny country called
Singapore. By the time he finished his
thousand-day challenge in January 2019,
he had built Nas Academy, turned it into
a legit media company with over 100
employees, started making millions of
dollars, and ended up with more than 60
million followers across all his
platforms combined.
>> I think the first tip is to never want
to be a social media person. Do not
pursue that as a career.
>> I think you should just be interested in
telling stories. If you're good at them,
you'll become big on social media. If
you're bad at them, you'll get better.
Just don't give up. And that's literally
what it is. Do not try to be a social
media person. I never wanted to be a
social media person. I just wanted to
tell stories of people.
>> But soon, people started to see that his
business wasn't all about showing the
good in humanity. These first cracks
started to show when Nas uploaded his
world's oldest tattoo artist video
featuring this 103-year-old woman from
the Philippines named Hang Odd, who does
traditional tattooing. She doesn't use
any machines. She makes her own ink out
of charcoal and water and uses actual
thorns from trees as needles. The video
seemed totally innocent at first. It was
classic Nas content highlighting unique
cultural traditions. But then people
started reading the description and
that's when the comments exploded
because Nas was advertising that Hang
was now teaching on Nas Academy in the
description. His online education
platform and you could pay to learn from
her and that made people go mad. One guy
said yes is the type of guy to convince
a retired woman to become a teacher. Nas
Dailyy apparently scammed her for his
Nas Academy thing and the video proof is
fake. Confirmed by Lola's family member.
I was literally heartbroken when I found
out since I instantly lost trust in Nas.
And later it would turn out that the
comments were right because on August
4th, 2021, Gracia Hang's relative made
this explosive post on Facebook that
read, "Warning, Wong Academy is not
real. My grandmother did not sign any
contract with Nas Daily. Some people are
taking advantage of our culture. Please
help us stop this disrespect to the
legacy of Oppo Huang Odd and the Buttbot
tribe. The post went viral and the
hashtag # unfollow nauseaily started
trending immediately. This made Nas lose
500,000 Facebook followers in just 3
days. But things got even worse for Nas
when the Philippine government got
involved through the NCIP, which is the
National Commission that protects
indigenous people's rights. Their
investigation revealed that the ancient
art of tattooing practiced by the
Kolinga tribe is collective cultural
property, meaning Nas Daly will need
consent from the entire community before
he can list the lessons on his academy.
Nas sent a team back to the Philippines
to try and fix the mess, drafting a new
contract that kind of addressed
everyone's concerns. But the damage was
already done since his name was already
under fire in the public.
>> But I'm not the one here. I'm not the
one standing here pretending that I
stand for all these things. You do.
There you go. The biggest hypocrite on YouTube.
YouTube.
>> If Gracia hadn't spoken up and made that
Facebook post, Nas would have just kept
selling that course and profiting off
Hang's cultural legacy without properly
paying her or getting real consent. But
it turned out this wasn't the only
damage Nas had done to the Philippines
because another Filipino woman came
forward with more disturbing
allegations. Her name is Luis Mabulo and
she founded the Cacao Project, which is
a nonprofit organization meant to fight
deforestation by helping Filipino
farmers grow cacao trees instead of
other crops. Nas had reached out wanting
to film her project because it seemed
like perfect feel-good content for his
channel. But according to Louise, when
Nas and his team actually showed up to
film, things got nasty real quick. She
claimed that Nas kept making these rude
comments about the farmers. According to
her post, I've held my silence for 2
years. However, in light of recent news,
it's high time I break it. In 2019, Nas
Dailyy had come to my town to cover my
story on the Cacao project. My family
took him and other content creators in
as welcome guests. However, in so little
time, I was disappointed to learn that
the man I'd looked up to for years was
not the bearer of good news he'd misled
his followers to believe he was. I
watched him imitate and mock the local
accent and language vocalizing Tagalog
sounding syllabic phrases saying it
sounded stupid. He repeatedly said that
the people of my hometown poor farmers
are so poor. Why are Filipinos so poor?
He said no one wants to hear about
farmers or farms. It's not clickable
viewable content. The worst part was
when he allegedly said that no one wants
to hear about farmers or farms because
it's not clickable viewable content.
showing that he only cared about what
would get him views, not about actually
raising awareness for real issues. Nas
filmed the entire project, but never
released the video because according to
Louise, he didn't think it was
entertaining enough for his audience.
This did even more damage to his brand
of spreading global positivity because
it showed he didn't respect the
communities he said he cared about. And
here's Nas's response post to the whole
situation. To my biggest sadness and
surprise, your story was not true on the
ground. Once we arrived at your
plantation, once we saw the village and
talked to the farmers, we came to the
conclusion that there is no story here.
That the awards on the internet are just
that, awards. Our investigation has made
it clear that your story in the media is
false and that there are no 200 farmers
that you work with and there are no
cacao plantations that you don't
personally profit from. Even though we
flew in for two days, we had to pack up
and leave because I will never ever put
fake news on Nas Daily. But the problem
is, even though Louisa's project had
issues and wasn't as legitimate as she
had made it seem, that still doesn't
excuse the racist comments about
Filipinos being poor. And the internet
was tired of his lies with comments
like, "Stop using our countrymen for
your own selfishness. So, did you or did
you not mock our accent and insult our
poverty? don't support this man. He's
using Filipino for his own benefit, even
destroying the country and the
president. While Nas addressed why he
didn't release the video, he stayed
silent about the allegations that he
mocked their accent and made nasty
comments about Filipino poverty. A
pattern was starting to show that would
repeat itself over and over. Nas would
never actually address the real issue
people had with him. But if Nas thought
exploiting Filipino culture was bad for
his reputation, things were about to get
way worse when he started getting close
to cryptobillionaires who turned out to
be massive frauds. Because on November
12th, 2021, Nas uploaded a video that's
now been deleted from his channel titled
The Most Generous Bitcoin Billionaire.
The video was all about Sam
Bankmanfreed, who founded this massive
cryptocurrency exchange called FTX. Sam
lives in the Bahamas with 10 roommates.
Sam is 29 years old only, but Sam has 22 billion
billion
and he wants to donate all of it to charity.
charity.
But why?
>> Well, for many.
>> But then late in 2022 rolled around and
FTX completely collapsed, facing a
massive liquidity crisis that revealed
the whole thing was basically a house of
cards. company FTX went bankrupt and
this was not a normal bankruptcy.
It was a fraud. He tried to hide it, but
people discovered the truth only last
week. Customer funds are lost in the billions.
billions.
>> Sam was arrested in December 2022, and
by March 2024, he was convicted of fraud
and money laundering. The judge
sentenced him to 25 years in prison and
hit him with a fine of over 11 billion,
making it one of the biggest financial
frauds in history. It also came out that
Sam only gave away a tiny 0.1% of his
money to charity, which completely
destroyed Nas, calling him the most
generous billionaire who wanted to
donate everything. Funny thing is, Nas
never gave an apology for the video. One
said, "After promoting this, the next
thing that should be heard is an
apology, but apparently there was none.
Nas scam daily in a nutshell." But Nas
wasn't done hyping up scamming
cryptobillionaires. Because on May 5th,
2022, he posted another video called
Most Humble Cryptobillionaire, featuring
Chang Penza, who everyone knows as CZ.
>> Hi, my name is CZ. He made over $60
billion, but his mom still called him stupid.
stupid.
>> Nas went on describing him as this
humble guy who didn't care about cash.
Same story as before. No mention
anywhere that he might have been paid to
make the video. Turns out CZ wasn't
clean either because Binance got charged
with breaking sanctions and violating
money transmitting laws. CZ ended up
pleading guilty to moneyaundering
charges and had to step down from
running Binance. Binance crypto boss
Changpang Xho sentenced to 4 months in
prison. So now that's two good guy
billionaires that Nas promoted who
turned out to be massive frauds facing
serious criminal charges. But the truth
came out just a month before that video
dropped. Because on April 22nd, 2022,
Nas appeared on a podcast hosted by a
YouTuber called Silicon Valley Girl.
During the interview, she straight up
asked him what everyone had been
wondering about.
>> So, wow. Those take full days.
>> Interesting. So, sometimes the
characters are in your video actually
paid sponsorships.
>> Some sometimes Yes.
>> Do you say that in
>> uh very So, it's actually like less than
3% of the content.
>> Uh and we do not say that because uh
well, one in the post it's when we say
thank you to XYZ blah blah for making
this possible. Uh two it's like we don't
live in America so you don't you don't
actually have to. He was literally
admitting that he hides sponsorships
from his audience and thinks he doesn't
have to follow disclosure rules because
he's not based in America. That was kind
of dumb for multiple reasons because
YouTube is an American platform that has
to follow American laws, no matter where
the creator lives. The FTC requires
clear sponsorship disclosure from
everyone who uses the platform. Your
location doesn't matter one bit. Nas
tried to downplay it by saying less than
3% of his videos are sponsored. But
nobody believed that and it didn't
matter anyway because he just admitted
to breaking the rules. But hiding
sponsorships and worshiping scammers
wasn't the only way Nas managed to piss
off millions of people. He was about to
disrespect an entire religion next.
Because in July 2024, Nas uploaded the
video, "I studied Islam for one month
and I lost all my hair.
I spent one full month studying my
religion, Islam.
>> The title alone offended a lot of
Muslims because it made a joke out of
something that's sacred in their
beliefs. When Muslims finished the Umra
pilgrimage in Mecca, shaving their head
is a sign of humility and devotion to
God. But Nas turned that whole tradition
into just losing hair like it was some
funny experiment for content. The video
itself was even worse than the title
because it was full of misinformation
about Islam and oversimplified the
beliefs of over two billion people. He
got basic facts wrong, presented his
opinions as truth, and treated the
religion like it was some interesting
topic he could master in 30 days. So
that the video got more dislikes than
likes was no surprise. And the comment
section was flooded with angry Muslims
correcting every single mistake he made.
Islam did not start from a cave. Islam
started from the first human being. An
Islamic content creator named Smile to
Janna even made an entire response video
calling out Nas's disrespect. This
individual had the goal to make a video
about Islam. Seeing as he is such a
hypocrite, a sellout, a absolute piece
of work, I was only curious to see what
on earth could he be teaching the people
about Islam. But Nas never apologized
for the disrespect, never took the video
down, and never acknowledged that he'd
done anything wrong. The pattern just
kept repeating itself, ignore all
criticism, pretend nothing happened, and
quickly move on to the next video,
hoping everyone would forget. But
disrespecting Islam
was just the warm-up because Nas was
about to piss off everyone again with
his take on the Israel Palestine
conflict. Nas made a video called My
Israel and Palestine Explained where he
tried to position himself as this
neutral peacemaker who just wanted
everyone to get along.
>> Suffering, pain, anger. You know, a lot
of people want to see Israel disappear.
I don't. I think Israel should exist
because it has good people inside of it.
And I think Palestine should exist
because it has good people inside of it.
And that's why I think it's not one or
the other. And I really don't like it
when everybody keeps saying it's one
country, it's fake countries, it's a
stupid argument. Israel and Palestine.
My solution is simple. Bring people
together, not apart. This is why we make
these videos. This is why we The video
made the conflict that's been going on
for hundreds of years seem like no big
deal. Nas took all of that complicated
history and basically said, "Why can't
everyone just be nice to each other and
get along?" But the real hypocrisy came
out when people started digging into
Nas's actual opinion on the situation.
Because on October 23rd, he tweeted,
"Israel first, Palestinian second."
Which made the people doubt his supposed
neutral opinion. But the answer soon
became clear. He wasn't any of those
things. He was pro- views. Nas would say
whatever got him the most engagement in
that particular moment and it ended up
pissing off both Israelis and
Palestinians because nobody could trust
a single word coming out of his mouth.
At a recent summit called NDTV World
Summit, Nas admitted, "I think Israel
should exist and said he supports a
two-state solution while also saying
free Palestine from Hamas, from
radicalism, from terrorism." of that my
political opinion which I made very
clear that we need two states for two
people but also we need to free
Palestine from Hamas from radical from
terrorism I'm not for that at all and I
think Israel should exist every time I
say the I word which is Israel I lose
followers every time I say the I word
which is the country I'm from
>> he positioned himself as this honest guy
saying I succeeded despite being
cancelled more than 10 times
Like, yeah, that's something to be proud of.
of.
>> So, I succeeded despite being cancelled
more than 10 times because the videos
are just so damn good that you're
willing to listen to somebody from
Israel even though you hate Israel so much.
much.
>> The Davos incident. But things got even
messier when a conservative YouTuber
named Ahri Yassini confronted Nas at
this event in Davos, Switzerland. Ari
walked up to him and asked him about his
relationship with the World Economic
Forum, but Nas responded like an
absolute child.
>> Do you think it's cool that you're
standing here and you're being employed
like you're getting paid by the World
Economic Forum to pro to promote their product?
product?
>> I'll tell you what's cool. This is the
video. How are you guys? Give me Give me
You know what's really cool is that all
this was done for no money.
>> You did it for free.
>> For free, my friend.
>> Willing to sell yourself for free.
>> I'm selling myself for free because I
have opinions.
>> But But you do. conversation made Nas
seem unable to take any criticism
without getting defensive. But it was
only about to get worse because later
Ahri was in the middle of interviewing
the prime minister of Luxembourg when
Nas came over and interrupted the
interview. He called Ahri annoying
directly to the prime minister's face
and ruined his interview and after he
literally ran away when Ahri tried to
continue talking to him.
>> Prime Minister and then running away.
>> So is he annoying politics? Is he
annoying you?
>> No, it's still okay.
>> Okay, this is Nazda. He's a brother of Nazda.
Nazda.
>> This guy's annoying. Be careful of this
guy. He's annoying.
>> I was a lawyer before. If you need some help.
help.
>> What? What? What? What law? What law?
Naz might need criminal help. Naz. Naz.
Naz. N. Come here. Two questions. I'm wait,
wait,
>> bro. I know you. Hold on. Hold on. You
said I know you had this. Hold on. Naz.
Naz. It really showed how bad he is at
defending himself when he's not in
control. You won't see that coming back
in his own videos since he can just cut
out anything that makes him look bad.
Because when you look back at every
single controversy Nas got himself into,
they all trace back to one massive
problem. His big ego.
>> Going to do the unthinkable. I'm going
to discuss every controversy I've had on
YouTube from Israel to crypto to
Philippines to all that stuff. And I'm
going to call my haters. Yeah, I'm going
to call them. In December 2024, Nas
posted this response video where he laid
out what he called the underdog hero
villain Phoenix framework, which was
basically his way of explaining his
entire life story. He called himself an
underdog who worked like a donkey for 10
years to become a hero. And now he was
in the villain phase because apparently
success equals evil in people's minds.
He claimed he was rising as a phoenix
above all the hate. And throughout this
video, he called himself a hero more
than 15 times. years until it succeeded.
I went from underdog
to hero with more than 15 million
followers in YouTube, 22 on Facebook,
five on Instagram. I've become a hero
and now we have a company of 100 people
and making millions of dollars. So I've
>> Nas even did these staged phone calls in
his video where he called his own
employees and asked them questions like
are we working with the Israeli
government? Of course they said no. They
literally work for him and depend on him
for their paychecks.
>> So in two sentences are we working with
the Israeli government and why do people
have that assumption?
>> The straight answer is no. We've never
worked with the Israeli government.
Uh the reason why um this started was
because uh we had employees in the
company who were Israeli by nationality.
>> He also called them to validate his
response to the hanging odd situation
which they obviously validated as well.
The audience saw right through it with
comments like he had the time to make a
video but not to apologize. That says a
lot. The whole response just made him
look even more narcissistic than before.
All this past drama was built up over
time. His numbers show how the majority
of the people see him now. Only time
will tell if he can rebuild what he lost
or finally learn from the backlash. Make
sure to subscribe so you'll be the first
to know if Nas ever turns things around.
