i understand the mocking and underestimating somehow,because people are used to guys never really bouncing back from a big downfall,the only example i can remember is djuna djanana who went from a laughing stock being mocked for doing security job to a very respected guy because of dadju and gims people even want know to get close to him in hope that he can convince dadju or gims to make a feat with them
and it will happen one day that somebody bounces back "directly" himself,thats something common in life that somebody was mocked belittled given as done for life and boom one day people are surprised
back properly on celeo,before lockdown he was in negotiation with a couple of labels who will give him an organized staff maybe thats also why he is so confident to achieve it despite adversity,thats the thing with him his solo career has been done with constant fighting to overcome barriers,so he is in a mindset that he will continue breaking barriers
and thats somehow true with what he has faced he should have been much worse than he is
