Former 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Asuelu Pulaa received some backlash for calling his wife, Kalani Faagata, a "b***h" on the show. Still, he has garnered immense popularity since the show has ended. He has recorded over 300 personalized messages for his fans through Cameo and seems to be earning a decent amount through this platform. However, it doesn't seem enough to provide for his family of four.
Asuelu first met Kalani when she was vacationing in Samoa. He was working at the same resort where Kalani was staying. One thing led to another, and soon, the couple was pregnant with their first child. They also got the opportunity to be on 90 Day Fiance season 6. During the show, the 25-year-old Asuelu surprised Kalani by wearing a Samoan outfit and giving a solo dance performance at the airport. According to various sources, the dance is called fa'ataupati, a Samoan slap dance. The mommy-of-two Kalani was embarrassed to see her shirtless fiance rolling on the dirty airport floor.
While Kalani was embarrassed, there are many 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? fans who want to see Asuelu dance and record personalize messages for their loved ones. Asuelu is available on Cameo, an online service through which fans can hire their favorite celebrities to record personalized messages. The daddy-of-two charges $69 per message, and so far, he has done 305 videos, judging by the number of reviews. For 305 videos at $69 each, he must have made around $21,045. This amount doesn't appear to be much, considering Asuelu has been on the platform for over a year now.
Even though the couple is living with Kalani's family and doesn't have to pay rent, $21,045 per year doesn't seem enough to provide for a family of four. Still, this side hustle must be paying more than what Asuelu was getting while handing out frozen treats. These Cameo videos are also helping him showcase his innate talent. His impressive dance skills are finally paying off. Unlike many reality TV stars, Asuelu puts effort into making these videos worth the price.
He dresses up in Samon outfits and usually records himself shirtless. The former TLC star also dances for fans on special requests. One can watch him breaking into Samoan dances while wishing his fans a happy birthday and wedding anniversary. Sometimes, Asuelu also includes his two sons, Oliver and Kennedy, in his Cameo videos. It looks like the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? alum Asuelu has also improved his English speaking skills while recording messages for his American fans. Maybe eventually, this will become a more lucrative endeavor for Asuelu.
