HOW DID Mama Rug become famous?

Sana first gained fame by appearing as a frequent guest star in the wildly popular vlogs and prank videos of her mega-star son, FaZe Rug. Fans fell in love with her reactions and warm personality, prompting her sons to surprise her with her own YouTube channel for her birthday in 2017. Alongside her husband, she quickly turned the Mama Rug & Papa Rug channel into a massive success by filming trending lifestyle challenges and family pranks.

BEFORE THE FAME

Born and raised in Tel Keppe, Iraq, Sana moved to the United States over 30 years ago to build a new life with her family. Long before the camera crew and internet stardom arrived, she was a dedicated stay-at-home mother in San Diego, California. She focused her time entirely on raising her children and managing a traditional Chaldean household, completely unaware that her everyday family life would eventually become a multi-million-view internet phenomenon.
