I had no place to stay. My dad gave me some money, but I was never born with a silver spoon. So, I didn\u2019t have a credit card at that time. I went to a hotel and said, \u2018I\u2019d like to stay here, and I had this much cash.\u2019 They asked me for a credit card, and I asked \u2018what\u2019s that?\u2019 They refused to give me a room. So, I stepped outside and slept in front of the hotel. I had severe jet lag. The agent who booked my flight had booked the one with 5 stopovers.\u201d <\/p>\n

AP Dhillon went on to reveal how an Indian couple came to his rescue, “The first night passed, the second night when I was on the streets, an Indian girl came to me and said I didn\u2019t look homeless and asked, \u2018Why are you sleeping outside?\u2019 I told her I didn\u2019t have a credit card, so they wouldn\u2019t give me a room. She went to her boyfriend and asked him to give his credit card. He came to me and said, \u2018Brother please don\u2019t steal or break anything, or they\u2019ll charge me.\u2019 I said, \u2018No chance, bro.\u2019 That couple was from Calagry.\u201d The global icon also revealed the odd jobs he did to survive and accomplish his dreams, “I always kept working hard. When college began, and I started working, I slowly managed to get a credit card. I have worked at gas stations, convenience stores, and my last job was at Best Buy. I used to work for 10-12 hours and then go to college. I had to manage my rent, food, and everything else.\u201dAP Dhillon also shared that he created a separate corner in his rented apartment where he could focus solely on practising and working on his music. He said, “The house I lived in had a small garage, big enough to park one car. I rented a room there. I saved some money, went to Home Depot, and made a 10-by-6 room with plywood and added a door. Slowly, I started buying equipments and learned the craft. I never gave up.\u201dThe Canadian singer-rapper, who went through a difficult time during his early days, now reportedly has a net worth of around Rs 83 crore and enjoys massive popularity on YouTube, with his songs clocking millions of views. <\/p>\n
