TikTok’s ‘Yes King’ trendsetter dies
Heard managed the LoveAndLightTV channels on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, where he frequently shared life advice and inspiring videos.
He mixed in skits for mature audiences, and these led to the creation of the now-famous ‘Yes King’ sound on TikTok.
This sound effect was commonly featured in food reviews, but some motivational speakers also used it in their videos. It often played after positive statements, particularly those aimed at men.
