Steven Setu: I Weighed 220kgs!

Dom Harvey

Episode Description

Steven Setu is one of the most polarising voices in New Zealand social media...

Between the hot takes, the outrageous claims and the controversy, we meet the little boy from West Auckland who grew up without a father, was bullied, struggled with weight and identity, and built an exterior as thick as concrete.

But we also see the softness that sits just beneath the surface, especially when he speaks about his mother, his family, and his desire to “never give up.”
