The popular YouTuber P2istheName, whose real name is Philip Enewally, had posted a final video before he was found dead in a mailroom on March 14, 2025. The video was titled “Why this is My Last Month Living in Los Angeles..” and was published on his channel.

The 26-year-old content creator frequently published gaming videos, comedy skits, and vlogs on the site, and more recently revealed that he would be moving from his home in LA to a new house in Atlanta, in search of new opportunities and a fresh start.

In a video shared on February 21, P2istheName spoke about the life he had led in Los Angeles, where he had lived his whole life. He voiced a longing for something different, saying:

"I came up on YouTube in my dad's house and have always been in that California base so I know everything, every corner, every up and down, everywhere to go."

While the city has helped to shape his career and personal life, he said, he had outgrown it and needed to have new experiences and meet new people. The YouTuber said he had never moved away from his small hometown, not even for college, and decided it was time to leave his comfort zone.

P2istheName had recently started a streetwear brand, DontMindUs, and was eager to meet other like-minded entrepreneurs in Atlanta. He found Los Angeles “saturated,” he said:

"LA is very saturated. There's a lot people that live in LA... You're gonna find a lot of people with daddy's money. I want to meet like-minded people, who have the same mindset as me as an entrepreneur."
