In one of his final videos, YouTuber P2istheName laments leaving Los Angeles just weeks before his body was discovered.
26-year-old YouTuber P2istheName mentioned his “last month in LA” in a video uploaded on February 21 as he prepared to relocate to his hometown of Atlanta.
He talked candidly about permanently leaving Los Angeles in one of his last YouTube broadcasts. However, the Los Angeles County Coroner reports that he was sadly discovered dead in the Mailroom on March 14, just a few weeks later.
Investigations into the startling incident are still ongoing, thus the cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
P2istheName, whose true name was Phillip Enwere, announced to his 3.8 million followers that he had made the decision to leave the city.
“I think it’s finally time for me to leave Los Angeles,” he stated. This is where I’ve lived all my life. I went to school here, I grew up here, guy.
I have always been situated in California, and I even launched my YouTube channel from my dad’s house. I am familiar with this city’s streets, corners, ups, and downs.
However, I feel like I’ve reached a stage in my life when I need to meet new people. Some of the folks I grew up with are getting older.
“I’m currently 26 years old, but when I get older and have children in the future, I hope to be able to address them and hear them say, ‘Dad, I want to stay here.'” Additionally, I would like to be able to say, “Don’t say that.” It’s garbage there.
“Instead of being stuck in one place forever, I want to tell them, ‘I used to live there, I used to stay there, but I moved on.
I believe that wisdom increases when one experiences more things in life.
Phillip had started his own street wear company, Dont Mind Us, and he was excited to network with other entrepreneurs in Atlanta who shared his interests.

He was shown in the video getting ready to take the items to the post office while they were all around him.
“LA is too saturated,” he added. Too many people are here. Many of the children you encounter are dependent on their father’s income.
I want to make connections with like-minded individuals who have a business perspective.
Tragic Tributes
On behalf of the family, Phillip’s mother asked for privacy after confirming the heartbreaking news to TMZ.
In remembrance of him, she also urged followers to visit his YouTube channel, which has almost 4 million subscribers.
Social media was inundated with tributes from YouTubers and their fans.
On Instagram, YouTuber ColeTheMan posted: “My good friend @P2istheName went away. Whoa.
I just don’t know what to say. He was always really nice to me and gave me a lot of content production suggestions.
I hope he finds peace. My heart is broken by this.
One fan wrote, “This guy was my childhood,” in an attempt to express their sorrow. The fact that this is genuine still amazes me. May you rest in peace.
Someone else said: “I’ve never felt this impacted by a celebrity’s passing before.”
Posting videos of himself playing Fortnite and NBA 2K initially made Phillip famous. Later, he expanded his programming to include general gaming commentary, which he dubbed “Let’s Plays.”
Along with his games, he also shared glimpses of his daily life with his fans through vlogs, such as “A Day in the Life of a Young Black Millionaire in LA.”
He posed in the red and black jersey of DontMindUs while loading the company’s shipments into a van in his most recent Instagram image, which was posted on February 19.
He was surrounded by inventory in a mailroom or shipping facility in another slide from the same post.
Days earlier, he had written: “The journey keeps getting better. @dontmindus all year long,” expressing his love for the brand. Give thanks to God.
Millions of people watched Phillip’s videos at his height; some of them had over 13 million views.
He had talked of feeling “lost” on the platform, though, since his viewership has dropped to between 20,000 and 60,000 per video in recent years.
