Adam has been vlogging since 2012 and enjoys highlighting social discrimination and racial profiling issues. He is usually assisted by two of his best friends. His videos tend to touch a nerve in the society’s carefully managed socio-cultural landscape, which has landed him several times.
Adam is originally from Yemen and lives in New York. He went to Central Park East High School and subsequently, John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
In 2012, he started his YouTube channel TrueStoryASA with a college buddy, Sheikh Akbar. He was also part of the YouTube channel. 3MH. He was trained by Sheik Akbar, Slim Albaher and Karim Metwaly. However, the group disbanded in 2015 and Adam has since charted his own course.

Adam has difficulty making a video that is not transmitted. One thinks in particular of the video “Racial Profiling Experiment” that he posted on his YouTube channel in October 2014.
The video started with Adam and his good friend, Sheikh dressed in western outfits. They started arguing in the presence of a police officer, but the officer just ignored them. Moments later, they performed the same scene again, except this time they were dressed in culturally Muslim clothing. This time the officer stepped in to stop them and treated them in an obviously rude manner. The viral nature of the video attracted media attention. Public perception and reaction to the video was clearly directed against the officer.
Adam claims the video was a way to recreate some past negative events against Muslims. However, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) demanded an apology from Saleh and his friend. They accused them of trying to win low popularity with the Muslim struggle and fanning the fire of an already burning socio-cultural and religious issue. Ironically, the organization, before asking for an apology, had retweeted his video.
He continues with his controversial nature in another video where he claimed to have boarded a Tigerair flight in a suitcase in the baggage hold. Melbourne Airport security was quick to respond with footage that dispelled the incident as a hoax. The video clearly shows Adam boarding the plane. They also pointed out that they had a weight limit for luggage and that a box containing Adam’s weight would not have been allowed on the flight.
He followed up with another videoIn December 2016, he claimed he was deprived of a Delta Air Lines-owned flight at Heathrow Airport. He claims that his offense was that he spoke Arabic. The airline and other passengers hit back saying he was not excluded for speaking Arabic. He was a nuisance on the plane and provoked other passengers.
