Hamza Yassin on living in the back of his car for nine months
Speaking to The Guardian back in 2024, Hamza admitted that during the early days of his career, he lived in the back of his car.
The star was based in the Highlands of Scotland, where he lied to his parents, telling them he was living in a cottage.
