Episode 2: “Hate Me Now... But Watch Me Grow.”

📆 March 2012 — Peckham, South London

Darius is in his small bedroom, hunched over his phone. The YouTube app is open.

His upload schedule is going crazy.

🎥 NEW VIDEOS:

“Full Plate of Fufu & Egusi + Indomie Smoothie 🤮”

“Trying 5 Nigerian Snacks in 5 Minutes 💥”

“Breakfast: Yam, Beans, Coke & Meat Pie Combo 😭”

He uploads three videos in one week. They’re messy, loud, badly lit — but they hit.

📈 The Views Start Climbing:

567 views...

1,823 views...

💥 One even hits 4,100 views in 3 days!

Darius: “Yoo this might go viral, you know!”

Amara (age 6): “You’re famous now. But you look like a meatball.” 😆

Darius: “Thanks, lil sis…”

💬 COMMENTS ROLL IN — Brutal Ones:

TundeFitness: “Bro if you continue this, you’re taking a one-way ticket to meet your creator 💀💀”

LolDonT: “Your plate has more meat than your channel has views.”

Missy: “How are you 15 and already breathing like a 60-year-old?”

😤 DARIUS SAYS TO CAMERA:

Darius: “Say what you want. Laugh now. I’m still gonna do me. I’m not ashamed of my size. Big D is here.”

He ends the vlog with a giant spoon of jollof stuffed in his mouth.

He grins. But deep down... the hate is getting to him.

🍻 NIGHT OUT — April 5, 2012

Darius sneaks into a bar with some older boys. Loud afrobeats, cheap alcohol, greasy wings.

Friend: “Big D, come take a shot!”

Darius: “Say lessssss fam!”

He downs two. Then four. Then more.

🚓 Police arrive.

A female police officer named Officer Emily Rowe steps into the smoky lounge.

Officer Emily: “We’ve had noise complaints. All underaged need to clear out. Now.”

Darius (drunk): “Go away, fam. No one called you.”

Officer Emily: “What’s your name?”

Darius: “I’m Darius Thompson. You mad?”

Officer Emily: “How old are you?”

Darius: “Fifteen.”

Officer Emily: “You're 15... and drinking?” 😐

She steps closer.

Officer Emily: “Go home. Last warning.”

Darius: “No. Get out. Beat me then.”

Officer Emily: “What?”

Darius: “Come swing then! Do it!”

She raises an eyebrow, sighs… then—

💥 DARIUS TRIPS BACKWARD AND FALLS HARD.

BOOM! His head hits the wall. He blacks out.

🚔 JAIL — Peckham Station, 9:22 PM

Darius wakes up on a cold metal bench. His shirt smells like alcohol and jollof.

Sheriff Michael: “You know how many crimes you broke?”

Darius: “I didn’t do anything wrong.” 😞

Sheriff Michael: “Really? Underage drinking. Not cooperating with police. Verbal harassment. You think that’s nothing?”

Darius stays quiet.

📞 Sheriff: “What’s your parents’ number?”

Darius: “...9904-3457-5667.”

He’s shivering. Eyes red.

📞 Phone Call – 10:13 PM

Sheriff Michael: “Hello, is this Mr. Desmond Thompson?”

Desmond: “Who’s this?”

Sheriff: “This is Sheriff Michael. Your son Darius has been arrested. Come to the station now.”

Desmond (quietly): “…I’ll be there.”

🚗 Station — 10:55 PM

Desmond storms in, angry and embarrassed.

Desmond: “What did my son do?”

Sheriff Michael: “Underage drinking, disrespecting a police officer, and harassment.”

Desmond (turns to Darius): “Seriously, Darius? In a bar? Cussing at police?”

Darius (crying): “I’m sorry, Dad…”

Sheriff: “This is a court matter. You’ll need a lawyer. His hearing is on April 19.”

Desmond: “You’re lucky we have Peter. If not, you’d rot in a cell.”

He walks away. Darius is left in silence.

🛏️ Later That Night — Cell, Alone

Darius curls up on the bench.

Tears stream down his face.

Darius (whispers): “I was just trying to be funny... just tryna be seen.” 😢

He cries himself to sleep.
