While some may not recognise Daiy Abrahams at first glance, they may recognise his voice. Known for the viral TikTok sound, 'Only in Cape Town will you see such k*k,' Daiy shared the huge amount of money he made in one year.
On 17 August, 2025, content creator Black Savage shared on his TikTok account his interview with the Cape Town native.
Daiy, who described himself as a social media content creator, influencer, TikTokker, and Instagrammer, shared that he made between R900 000 and over R1 million yearly revenue.
Knowing he was going to be something more than a person who works an office job, his success earned him the opportunity to buy a car in cash. The humble Daiy refused to share the price, only revealing that it was an Audi.

Daiy, who felt that he was built for the stage, noted he wasn’t born into a wealthy family—his father worked at a call centre, and his mother worked as a personal assistant or in HR.
He told Black Savage:
"Every month, you would wait for payday, wait for the 25th. I used to work, and I told myself, 'You know what, let me give myself one year to work on myself. It's been two years, and let's party!'"
The young man, who regularly posts food content, also spoke about the first money he received for his business, stating:
"I took my last salary and streamed on TikTok. That salary lasted for a month. I emailed everyone and said, 'Guys, I need your help. I need to be successful one day. Believe in me.' I got some investors, and that's that."
When asked about the advice he would give others, he shared:
"Don't give up, be consistent, always. Believe in yourself more than you believe in anyone else. It's better to work for yourself and have your time for yourself than to work for a boss and give him all your time."

"Super proud of you. Stay the humble person you are."
@barbie8barbie stated in the comments:
"I have so much respect for people who start small or with nothing and build their own success all by themselves. Stay consistent. Leave toxic people. Carry on with your plans. Nobody is opening doors for you. Only you have the key to open doors to your success."
@rijody shared with the online community:
"This is my favourite influencer, and he really delivers informative videos. He's content is my favourite."
@user5005679932248 wrote under the post:
"Confident to announce his salary. In the coloured community, I will never. The number of phone calls for a loan and sudden visitors, and they will hou dik (they will be persistent)."
An interested @ok9876543217 remarked in the comment section:
"Motivation right there. Where do I click to invest?"
