In this episode, BIGZZY sits down to tell the incredible and often dark story of his physical transformation. He opens up about the reality of weighing over 600lbs, the rare medical condition (Achalasia) that saw him drop to just 8 stone, and the dangerous stunts he pulled while on a feeding tube.
We discuss the mental toll of losing his father, the struggle of gaining back 200lbs, and his journey to finding peace through content creation. From face tattoos and TikTok fame to the "weird" side of brand deals and the future of IRL streaming on Kick, nothing is off-limits.
