Huey was a fast-rising star in the world of comedy and had amassed a sizeable audience on social media. He has over 100 short-format gag videos on YouTube, all of which have views ranging between 100k to 4.5 million. Of Vietnamese heritage, Huey lived in Stockton, California, and was father to a 2-year-old girl with his girlfriend. His posts and photos evidently show that he was very close to his daughter and prioritized her above everything else. 

In a gag video posted on September 9, 2021, with the title 'When you bipolar', Huey Haha appears to be in a happy mood as he says to the camera, "hey guys it's a beautiful day outside." His friend from behind the camera suggests that they should take advantage of the sunny day and "go outside and play." Within a split second, Huey's expression changes to gloomy as he says, "Nah bro sometimes I just wanna be inside all the time, you know, sleep forever." His friend jokes that sleeping forever is nothing but dying, when Huey says, "Yeah bro let's go die in the room."

The video proceeds with Huey in other bizarre and hilarious situations including one where he punches a watermelon right after saying it's good. While the entire premise of the video might have been just another gag, but viewers are wondering whether it was inspired from Huey Haha's real-life struggle with bipolar disorder. Though there are no confirmed reports about the comic having any diagnosed mental health issues.

He genuinely was one of the funniest guys on social media without even trying and whenever I needed a good laugh I would go on his page.

"Huey haha was a tiktok comedian who committed suicide. That goes to show you you NEVER know what’s going on in someone’s mind. Be kind and be caring towards your friends or even strangers. You’ll never know what their breaking point is," another fan speculated.

A third user commented, "Unexpectedly, an American comedian, #TikTok star, and internet personality #HueyHaha died at the young age of 22. There are some stories about Huey Haha’s cause of death, reporting as being involved in a shooting or committing suicide."

In the final weeks before his death, Huey Haha posted Instagram photos of cuddling his daughter as well as videos of wielding a gun in a mock robbery or handling sacks of marijuana.
