He Rose to Fame on TikTok

Ahmad Najya gained popularity on the internet for his TikTok profile Najya87, which he created in October 2019. He had been active on Instagram since about a year ago, but quickly became popular on TikTok for posting lip-syncs, POV video, modeling clips and comedy sketches with captions. His videos are often about relationships, which is why he is often asked about his relationship status by fans. However, he revealed in a Q&A video that he has never been in a serious relationship. His younger brother Khader regularly features on his videos. In his first ever YouTube video, in which he appeared with his brother, he mentioned that Khader was his favorite TikToker.

He Is an Aspiring YouTuber

While Ahmad has not been very active on Instagram, after establishing himself as a popular TikToker, he shifted focus to YouTube by joining the platform on June 5, 2020. In his very first video, posted on August 19, he appeared with his brother Khader and answered fan questions to help them know him better. By the time he posted his second video later that year, his channel was already monetized. He has uploaded several challenge videos with Khader and also introduced his other younger brother in his second YouTube video. In one of his challenge videos, he attempted to only speak Arabic in a mall and gave Khader $50 each time he said something in English. He also vlogged about completing his high school graduation in a video posted on June 10, 2021, in which he featured several of his friends. In their latest video posted in July 2021, the two brothers separately rated several female celebrities. Among his handful of videos till date, his first video remains his most viewed one yet.
