Abdu Rozik was often bullied and mocked for his size as a result of which he could only get 3 years of formal education. Teachers didn't provide him with books and stationery supplies as they thought it was a waste of time to teach him anything. Rozik also revealed that even though his classmates were nice to him, his seniors troubled him and would even beat him.
In an interview with Youtuber Anas Bukhash, the internet sensation opened up on his struggles and added that because his teachers said, “Do not come and they did not give me books. I bought my own books and studied at home, and I just started learning to sing when I was 7 or 8."

Before his online presence skyrocketed, Rozik made his income and supported his family by singing on the streets of Gishdarva.
Speaking about his journey and thanking Yasmine, Abdu, in an interview, said, "CEO and founder of IFCM, Yasmine Safia of Dubai deserves a special mention for putting me in coaching classes for Hindi and English, mentoring my music, sports, acting, and dance career, and helping me breakthrough in the world performing market."
