In this powerful and hilarious episode, we sit down with content creator turned TV star Ken Starrrz for a deep dive into his incredible journey from growing up in the Bronx with a Dominican dad and Colombian mom, to becoming one of the most vibrant voices in digital media today.
Ken opens up about being a loud, creative kid in a traditional Latino household, getting fired from his last 9-to-5 working in the LGBTQ community, and how that moment pushed him headfirst into content creation. He shares the story of how a personal DM from Diddy led to him landing his own show on REVOLT TV, how Nick Cannon slid into his DMs to bring him on Wild ’N Out, and his thoughts on the importance of creating content that reflects the full spectrum of Latino culture—not just West Coast or Mexican perspectives.
We also talk about his community work—food drives, back-to-school events, and giving back to those in need—and his acting debut alongside the late Pop Smoke. Ken gets real about the challenges and triumphs of the industry and what’s next as he works to launch his own scripted TV show that will spotlight underrepresented East Coast Latino voices.

We got your titled come on blah blah blah blah

music art?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Probably two? Well really took it serious probably twenty fourteen, okay,
but before that I was doing it, like doing music
and stuff, but not really with a series.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Who are you doing music with friends?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Nobody? I just did it because I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And you started singing at home and You're like, wait,
hold on, do the.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
On first to get the echo right, And then I
was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ship them with each other?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, God, forget it. Bet.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah that's well. That that is a fact. Now. When
I was researching you, I saw that you worked as
a social worker prior to taking this content creation seriously
full time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, ten years ago, I was I was a social worker.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I got going Touana, theyet ten years ago he
was a social worker. I thought you were like twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know, I'm twenty seven on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I they say, y'all, do they say you were I
mean you were a social YadA.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was a social worker for the GMHC.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Give me a little bit of a serious side of you,
because I feel like I don't know the serociety.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's it, right, that was it?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What happened? How did you end up being, you know,
a social worker.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I went to college for marketing and advertising, which is
way off from what I do from social work. But
I needed a job and I'm good with people, so
they gave me a chance. And like I was there
for like two years. I was helping out the LGBT community,
you know, people who got discriminated against for being gay
or having HIV and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So how was that for you?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like it was an experience because it was something I
was I've never seen before in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So there wasn't a connection there. It's not like, you know,
THEO was LGBTQ when you wanted to go into that space.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Nobody. It was just I was looking for a job
and I was like, you know what, let me try this.
And the money was good and I had my own
little cubicle, and.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You would see people like kind of like a case,
like a face to face.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Face to face or sometimes I go visit them or
they'll come to my office.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
How hard was that? Like, did you experience like hard?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It was hard? But sooner or later I started content
content creating, being a creative director.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, remember the title. So that was kind of
like your escape or no escape.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It was a conflict of interest. I started getting in trouble. Yeah,
you know, I was coming in late. I started getting
booked while I was going viral for certain videos and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So it was was it a problem with work? Like
did someone realize like, wait, hold on, I.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Say, they would book me for a strip club to
host and I'll be coming home. I got six in
the morning to go to work at seven in the morning.
Was kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So it became like a scheduling conflict. Not that they
were like, wait, hold on, you can't be a social
work and be on social media doing this and that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You know, later when I when I when I did
a video where I slapped the dude in the casket,
it came to the interest, well.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Slapping somebody in the casket is a lot. Did it
go viral?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's all that matters, right, Yeah, it went viral. But
then they were like, uh, they didn't want me. They
they knew who I was, the people coming in who
I was. They didn't want me to use their life
stories and they my videos. So I ended up getting fired.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did I say? I thought that so because of.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The conjugation then, And I was coming in later a
lot somebody was hating, right, No, I was coming in
later a lot a lot. I was coming.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
How many times you got righten up before you got iRED?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Three? I guess, no, matter of fact, two two times
they let me slater a lot too.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Is it the best thing that ever happened to you?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah? It was. It was because even the day I
remember getting fired, the guy knew who I was, and
he was like, you know, I'm gonna let you get unemployment,
just keep doing them videos.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And I was like, all right, cool and that unemployment
check it just kind of like frees you up a
little bit to just.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Do what you want to. Don't do that. We love
your unemployment.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It freeze you up, like come back and keep me warm.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Now where did it start? Like the first you were like,
oh shit, this is gonna work. What was your first
viral piece of content that you were like you got
something well, I got something here.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well before the Casket Slap, I had the video that
Boys and Men have reposted and I was like that
was like the first celebrity that was like holy shit,
like it's dope. I saw my follow was going up.
So then cool I do the casket slap, and that
shit changed everything.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It changed everything. It became like like the main point
or the standpoint for being viral, Like everybody started trying
to like go viral after that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Now, acting, when did that come into play?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Not gonna lie? I was doing an actor when I
was a kid. Uh. They used to shoot New York
under cover around my neighborhood. Uh huh. So I used
to sneak in try to be an extra, and I
became an extra on one episode.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So you've kind of like always been not wanting to
be in front of the camera, but comfortable being in.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Front of the camera, comfortable in front of not wandering
because it was it was always in my neighbors So like,
if the cameras are all cool, you need an extra head, cool,
I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
How did you end up doing the movie with Pop Smoke?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh? The movie Pop Smoked? The director Eddie Wang. He
hit me up in the DMS. He likes my comedy
and he was like, yo, you want to be an actor.
I was like, well why not?
Speaker 2 (10:44):

Speaker 2 (11:05):
All right, pop Smoke not so much hope for him,
and I wanted him to be so big, Like it
hurts when we lose somebody, you know, but with him,
it just hurt different because he's a kid. He just
popped off, you know, and like we had booked him
(11:26):
for the Andie Martinez Barbecue and I remember him before
me and I was like, Yo, this kid got something.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
But I got connects to get food, you know. So

Speaker 2 (15:20):
We're all supposed to, but not everybody does that. A
lot of people like take take, take, take, take take,
but you're actually stopping.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The block gave me so much, you know, my my
neighborhood gave me so much. I shoot there, I grew
up there.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
They got sandwiches named after me, drinks named after me.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
On man, I need to pull up. I need what's
the sandwich? Tell me what the ingredients are, to see
if I would even have it?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Cheese, but it's just figures.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It would be a chop.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I got a smoothie named after me too, And what's
in the smoothie?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Do you know the ingredients. I want to see if
I would drink it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
What is it? Orange? Orange, apple, pears, pineapple water?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is it coconut water? Just plain water?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It could be coconut water, regular water.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But by out, I don't know if I'm having the
chop cheese and this mooe at the same time, you know,
because I might need to have that at home.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's hangover to me.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's good. It's good for the hangover.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You're married, No, congratulations, she's right behind the scenes gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You know, she's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
How hard is it being in a relationship, being that
you're so out there on social media and it's like
people just overstep a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
It's hard.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's hard, right, it's hard. But they meant boppy.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
End.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, they were used to you. Now just your yeah whatever,
that's just can start.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Everybody knows I got a girl, they do. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I'm the last one to know. I haven't stalked you properly.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know what it is. So I don't post her
as much because I like, I like my privacy.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I feel like that's a lot of people they feel.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Like I feel like I want something for me, Like
when I go home and I'll put the camus down
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like that's yours, that's beautiful. I spoke to someone else,
but a lot of people and they're just like, I
just don't want to. And it's crazy because then when
the cameras turn off, they're like, yeah, I'm married, Yeah
I have two kids, Yeah I have a fiance. Okay,
no problem. But they say the same thing that, like,
my personal life is the only thing that still feels
like it belongs to me, and that is sacred. So
you know, you got to preserve that because once you
(17:21):
put everything out there, people feel like they can disrespect.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
They could take it from you, they can feel like
they could be in it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
He's like, I mean time, okay, so hold the end
of how am I the Comedian? Today?
Speaker 1 (17:40):

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Your turn through up? Don't tell me you're one of
those content creators that's like, listen, I only content create Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
After that, I turn it off.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I'm having a good every day.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Is there a totally different side to you? Like Yang Yang?
Like at home You're like, I I don't want to
make you laugh, or do you keep your fiance laughing?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I mean she'd be laughing sometimes because honestly.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I wouldn't want to. They know damn comedian that can't
make me laugh at home?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh no, we laugh, we laugh. It's just be an
asshole and then not be an asshole, so she'd be maugh.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I can see it. I can kind of see it,
but it takes a tough girl to deal with somebody
like you. Hold the end though, being an asshole with
the jokes. I'll be like me now we came along
with the salad. You've known each other a long time.
We've been together, Okay, that's friends before that.

No, no, no, that's Glorrela.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah it is. She's Memphis, right. I like her accent.
It was weird interaction with her, between her and Speedy,
it was just like I was like, I liked it,
but then people like they were flirting. I'm like, oh dad,
people are weird.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I love her accent.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I love it. I like it too. Now seeing stars,
you ended up get your own TV show on Revolt.
That was December that it launched.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Right, Yeahmber February started.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Oh yeah, you might look when you had the party.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, that's when I launched it. But I had that
show already in the bag like a year and a
half ago.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
So you shot it and then you were just waiting
to announce. How hard was that?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It sucked? Sucked?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
As where can people stream it?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Now? Revolt's Revolt? It was on Revolt TV still I.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Think it's on demand or how can we demand that?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Nice? Nice, nice, nice Revolt? How do you feel about Revolt? Like,
you know, what everything that, everything that happened, like everything
(19:54):
that you know, it was weird because the Breakfast Club
used to stream on Revolt, but you know, before everything
happened with Diddy, then it stopped. But then it was
just like what happens to everything? But then I saw
they did like a major overhaul and like all the
employees are different.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They sold it, right, yeah, they sold it as a
new owner and you see y'all and now they're like
creat catering to the creator basically, like that's the route
they're going to and they're trying to revamp.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You know, as they should because I felt like it
was an you know, and that happens a lot with
brands when someone is attached to it like a celebrity
and then things go wrong, which I've heard people be like, nah,
I don't want to attach to a celebrity, even me myself,
like I'm like, I don't want to do something with
a person because if they get into some shit, then
are what we've created here is no good. But luckily
it didn't affect you your show launch.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I felt like it did affect me. You did, yeah,
how long it took for them to drop it?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay? As far as like how long it took for
them to drop it because a lot of stuff was happening.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It did affect me a lot because people he was
even saying, because it's you know, uh I got the.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Deal because it did he okay, and you knew him personally?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Uh no.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They I was doing promo for de Leon okay, the tequila.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, I was doing for tequila, and I was doing
it for before for soak and stuff, and basically I
wanted more money and we ended up. You know, they
liked my ideas and they was like, yo, we need
to give you a show it's all right, cool, that's beautiful.
I love that, and that's how that's how it went.
But then the nigga got in trouble, you know, yeah,
(21:23):
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now that you say it. I remember somebody reaching out
to me and they're like, would you work with Sirac?
And I was like, of course, what's the problem. They're like,
can you just think about it and then get back
to us, And I'm I'm like, oh, now it's making
sense the whole Didny thing. And that's why they're asking
me about you know, it's I was like, I would
It's a brand, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's a brand. It's still a brand. I mean, I
wasn't there when he was getting in trouble. I ain't
doing of that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You were like, I don't condone it, you know, no
primes are ever going to be condoned.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't condone it. But I am a man. I'm
a different type of person, So I'm not going to
shoot on people that gave me an opportunity either, So
I respect the man. Don't expect what you do.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
You know what he did, a lot of stuff is
coming out, you know, things, perceptions are changing. I don't
know me as long as no kids are involved. If
it's all adults and it's all consenting adults, I kind
of like take a seat. I'm like.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Me too, I'm gonna take a seat and I'm gonna record.
Speaker 2 (22:24):

just one word that you would use to describe, you know,
how it feels to be Latino, how it feels to
(26:01):
be Come on channel, you're in a bad bunny, Come.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
On, ken, hold on, we paying my nails, Give me

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Hold on, get do it. That's painted or I thought
you banged.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It, all right, I banged it. I didn't do that.
It was painting her room or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you mean her room you have separate rooms.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, I was painting her room, our room or room,
her room, her room, the house, the house. Listen, she
could run the house, I run the streets. I'm fine
with that.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Ask I have. I have a house too, and it's
like our room is our room. But then I give
him his own room. Because this man, when he gets
dressed again, it's like shoes, his hats, the whole closet. Like, listen,
that room back there, Just do whatever you want back then.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
In my it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh hella, just not counseling nobody. Counseling yourself, right, myself
and the chair. Now give me that one word. Come on,
I feel like your energy has been different. I'm not
used to this. Can I like it. I like it,
but I'm used to laughing so much with you. And
I feel like I made you laugh today.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I appreciate you because that's very hard to do.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I need to get paid. Somebody better rub me my
coin immediate, best get on your you know Minicano, look American,
American give it food stamps.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So one word for you know, Damn, I don't. I
don't have one.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You gotta have one, man. It just feels good. It
feels I feel.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I don't want to right, I don't want to give
you the wrong word. I want to give you, like
the perfect word.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I don't have nowhere to be blo oh man, be quiet, ok.
In the Hispanics Club.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Everything I used to be a part of our SPEEDA.
I don't know if you ever heard.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Of that aspire speed up speed. I said, I there, yeah,
something like that what you used to speed out to me?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
But it was it was a uh oh man, why not?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
This is what I need? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
This is back in high school, and so it was
different high schools. It was like a Hispanic youth leadership institute.
So it was just a bunch of Hispanics and we'll
do like community stuff. We'll go to hospitals, we'll have
like retreats, you know, everywhere. But it was but it
(28:27):
was like it was like educational though more more or
less it was fun, but educational.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Make sat everybody who was part of our speed because
I think I would have been part of something like that.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, I forget. I might have to look it up
for the meaning.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Work can I don't have one?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know? You know I was gonna say greatness, but
no underestimated.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I want to say that, especially in this industry, I
feel like Latinos are underestimated. Especially when you go to Netflix.
You ain't see no Puerto Rican shows. You see a
bunch of Mexican shows. No offense to the Mexicans, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I feel like, yeah, but you're right.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You know when you go to when you go to
La too, they only know one type of Latino in
this Mexican Like when I went to LA they thought
I was black, No offense. I okay, I consider myself
more black than Puerto Rican Latino. Yeah, Afro Latino because
like with the videos I do, I feel like I
only cater. I cater more to English.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
You're very connected with the African.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Americanhood, you know what I mean, more than I do
to anybody in Puerto Rico or any Latin community. So
I feel like I'm in right in between.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I feel like with content, it's like you have to
find you know your way through, and I consume a lot.
I consume shows from Spain, from Maintina, wherever it is.
As long as they're speaking the language, I'll consume it
because it is very true when it comes to American shows.
It is very West Coast. It is a lot of
Mexican shows New York, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans. It's limited, but
(29:58):
we are there. Like let's say Orange is and News
Black Latina, albeit Thatez, but you have to look for
it and you have to be I don't want to
use the word grateful, but I do feel gratitude when
I see myself reflected in some of these Netflix shows,
even if it wasn't created for us. You have to
(30:21):
find those pockets where you're like, I can relate to
this person. Let's say Dexter, Dexter, that's just like, you know,
the Latino. You know what I'm saying. Everybody only Dexter
is a white man, right, everybody else is a Latino.
So but I feel like if we look for it,
we can find it. But there is definitely a void
in a gap where they do need to create more
(30:41):
content here in New York where it is Puerto Ricans Dominicans.
I miss it, I need it, and I feel like
it would it would work well because you know, I
love Mexicanos, but I feel like I can't connect. You know,
there's some shows that I'm like I see what they're
doing here, but no man quain throw because Norman went through.
I went to see real windmen have curves on Broadway,
(31:09):
but it was it was in l A. And I'm like,
what's happening? Why am I watching a Broadway show based
in La? My mom and know what he oh, no
lemina like the.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
George Lopez show. I never had a house. I never
lived in a house like that. I live in the projects.
I lived in a regular building. Bro, I had to
walk up the steps. You're like you it was so
it was harder for like not not none offense, George great,
it was just hard to like, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
You want your show to really really really hit home.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
And I feel like the Living on My Pops pilot,
I feel like I'm I'm gonna change the game with that,
and it's gonna be like a little bit of Martin
with a little bit of you know, like like even
like when you watch my videos, the liver with My
Pops is the only Spanish that I do, the only
Spanish thing that I do. So when I started on
the videos, I was like, I'm gonna have to tap
(32:02):
in more into this because you know, I'm not representing me.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
And it's what lives in my brain the most. Like
when I when I want to talk to you, I
want to talk to you about your pops, I guess
because it is content my father.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right, stop thinking about my father. I'm just saying,
be a hollid. Shock them to fifteen. We get crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
We get that check in it pens, that's aside social Security.
Pops probably get like ten g's a month, and I'm
here to spend it. Don't play with me, ken, I
wish I might have to do that video anyway. Talk
to me. Where can people find you? Website? Instagram? What's
the deal?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Star? Just type that in listen?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
But what is it? Three rs?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes, three hours? This is my tenth Instagram page. I've
been Instagram when I slapped a guy in the casket.
They took my pages down like six times after that,
and then after that I was doing wild Ship. Was
porn stars in the streets.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
But pace yourself, pace yourself. We want these big Netflix checks.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Okay, I know I got but I've calmed down. I've
calmed down with the girls that the type of girls
that have in my videos too.
Speaker 2 (33:11):

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Is the R and B com Vibe, a little party joint.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Am I gonna be able to hear it?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
After this?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I didn't see where you're going. If I don't like
it too much, we're gonna fix a few things and
then you're gonna give me produce a credit. Now your
content creator? Primarily, how do you see yourself? Because I
feel like I found out about you through social media?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
A God, no, no no, here he goes Now I
would say, I don't want to say it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Like at the top, what would you put? Will you
create so much content? I don't know, But I don't
know what do you want to label yourself? Because I
feel like everybody that comes here is like a producer,
an artist.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Content.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Claude could see it, but we not God, I mean
you're the king at the content creation. What's going on
right now? What brainwashed?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You call me a director? Director?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Okay, I don't know direct creative director?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
How about that a creative director?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
We got your titled come on blah blah blah blah
bah blah. When did you start creating like anything, creatively
music art?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Probably two? Well really took it serious probably twenty fourteen, okay,
but before that I was doing it, like doing music
and stuff, but not really with a series.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Who are you doing music with friends?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Nobody? I just did it because I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And you started singing at home and You're like, wait,
hold on, do the.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
On first to get the echo right, And then I
was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Ship them with each other?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, God, forget it. Bet.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah that's well. That that is a fact. Now. When
I was researching you, I saw that you worked as
a social worker prior to taking this content creation seriously
full time.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, ten years ago, I was I was a social worker.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I got going Touana, theyet ten years ago he
was a social worker. I thought you were like twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know, I'm twenty seven on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I they say, y'all, do they say you were I
mean you were a social YadA.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was a social worker for the GMHC.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Give me a little bit of a serious side of you,
because I feel like I don't know the serociety.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's it, right, that was it?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
What happened? How did you end up being, you know,
a social worker.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I went to college for marketing and advertising, which is
way off from what I do from social work. But
I needed a job and I'm good with people, so
they gave me a chance. And like I was there
for like two years. I was helping out the LGBT community,
you know, people who got discriminated against for being gay
or having HIV and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
So how was that for you?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like it was an experience because it was something I
was I've never seen before in my life.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So there wasn't a connection there. It's not like, you know,
THEO was LGBTQ when you wanted to go into that space.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Nobody. It was just I was looking for a job
and I was like, you know what, let me try this.
And the money was good and I had my own
little cubicle, and.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You would see people like kind of like a case,
like a face to face.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Face to face or sometimes I go visit them or
they'll come to my office.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
How hard was that? Like, did you experience like hard?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It was hard? But sooner or later I started content
content creating, being a creative director.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, remember the title. So that was kind of
like your escape or no escape.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It was a conflict of interest. I started getting in trouble. Yeah,
you know, I was coming in late. I started getting
booked while I was going viral for certain videos and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So it was was it a problem with work? Like
did someone realize like, wait, hold on, I.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Say, they would book me for a strip club to
host and I'll be coming home. I got six in
the morning to go to work at seven in the morning.
Was kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So it became like a scheduling conflict. Not that they
were like, wait, hold on, you can't be a social
work and be on social media doing this and that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You know, later when I when I when I did
a video where I slapped the dude in the casket,
it came to the interest, well.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Slapping somebody in the casket is a lot. Did it
go viral?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's all that matters, right, Yeah, it went viral. But
then they were like, uh, they didn't want me. They
they knew who I was, the people coming in who
I was. They didn't want me to use their life
stories and they my videos. So I ended up getting fired.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Did I say? I thought that so because of.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The conjugation then, And I was coming in later a
lot somebody was hating, right, No, I was coming in
later a lot a lot. I was coming.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
How many times you got righten up before you got iRED?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Three? I guess, no, matter of fact, two two times
they let me slater a lot too.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Is it the best thing that ever happened to you?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah? It was. It was because even the day I
remember getting fired, the guy knew who I was, and
he was like, you know, I'm gonna let you get unemployment,
just keep doing them videos.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And I was like, all right, cool and that unemployment
check it just kind of like frees you up a
little bit to just.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Do what you want to. Don't do that. We love
your unemployment.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Yeah, exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It freeze you up, like come back and keep me warm.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Now where did it start? Like the first you were like,
oh shit, this is gonna work. What was your first
viral piece of content that you were like you got
something well, I got something here.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well before the Casket Slap, I had the video that
Boys and Men have reposted and I was like that
was like the first celebrity that was like holy shit,
like it's dope. I saw my follow was going up.
So then cool I do the casket slap, and that
shit changed everything.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
It changed everything. It became like like the main point
or the standpoint for being viral, Like everybody started trying
to like go viral after that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Now, acting, when did that come into play?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Not gonna lie? I was doing an actor when I
was a kid. Uh. They used to shoot New York
under cover around my neighborhood. Uh huh. So I used
to sneak in try to be an extra, and I
became an extra on one episode.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So you've kind of like always been not wanting to
be in front of the camera, but comfortable being in.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Front of the camera, comfortable in front of not wandering
because it was it was always in my neighbors So like,
if the cameras are all cool, you need an extra head, cool,
I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
How did you end up doing the movie with Pop Smoke?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh? The movie Pop Smoked? The director Eddie Wang. He
hit me up in the DMS. He likes my comedy
and he was like, yo, you want to be an actor.
I was like, well why not?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You be like wait, wait, hold on on the DM.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, he was like, yo, I got a roll for you.
I'm like, all right, cool, uh pull up, have me
sign papers? And I did a legit and I got
certified through SAG too.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Look at you with the union. You gonna get you
to get passion. I don't forget about it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That was a good movie too.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
That was the first time I met pop Smoke too.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
All right, pop Smoke not so much hope for him,
and I wanted him to be so big, Like it
hurts when we lose somebody, you know, but with him,
it just hurt different because he's a kid. He just
popped off, you know, and like we had booked him
(11:26):
for the Andie Martinez Barbecue and I remember him before
me and I was like, Yo, this kid got something.
And even the album after it came out, it was
a solid ass project. Man. But anyway, let me bring
it back because we can get real deep, you know,
with gun violence and you know, losing our local rappers
and our big stars because you know we've lost a
lot of No, you think back, you think a pun,

I'm like, come on, Poppy, my.
Speaker 1 (13:29):

up you know in the Bronx uptown, it's like you
would always turn to your parents.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Most of them stories that i'd be all kind of true.
I exaggerate, but most of them are true.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Community. I know that community is important to you. You

back to school drive. You also have a nonprofit?
Speaker 1 (14:18):

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know I worked with so many nonprofits, but Uplight
Foundations like one of the your main not not not
my main, but it's somebody that you know that always
looks out for me or you know, they reach out
to me and PSN y two shout out to Wayne?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
What do you do Wayne? The givebacks?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Wayne? Yeah? I do the give back to Wayne? I
did I do him? He still does them, like every
Wednesday on thirty third Street, giving food out and giving
out free haircuts.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So how did you stop down? Because a lot of
the times, you know, we're busy, we're climbing, we're making money,
and then a lot of people don't get back. How
did you stop down and be like, wait, hold on, ken,
you gotta do something for the community. But it's somebody
that was like yo, a thing and then that happened
like that, or you felt like.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I felt like I had to you know what I mean?
I don't. I don't got money like that because I
see sometimes these influences we just give it money out.
I can't do that. But I got connects to listen.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
We're not missed the best just yet, right.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
But I got connects to get food, you know. So
I'm supposed to listen.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We're all supposed to, but not everybody does that. A
lot of people like take take, take, take, take take,
but you're actually stopping.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The block gave me so much, you know, my my
neighborhood gave me so much. I shoot there, I grew
up there.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
They got sandwiches named after me, drinks named after me.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
On man, I need to pull up. I need what's
the sandwich? Tell me what the ingredients are, to see
if I would even have it?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Cheese, but it's just figures.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It would be a chop.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I got a smoothie named after me too, And what's
in the smoothie?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Do you know the ingredients. I want to see if
I would drink it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
What is it? Orange? Orange, apple, pears, pineapple water?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is it coconut water? Just plain water?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It could be coconut water, regular water.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But by out, I don't know if I'm having the
chop cheese and this mooe at the same time, you know,
because I might need to have that at home.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's hangover to me.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's good. It's good for the hangover.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You're married, No, congratulations, she's right behind the scenes gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You know, she's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
How hard is it being in a relationship, being that
you're so out there on social media and it's like
people just overstep a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
It's hard.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's hard, right, it's hard. But they meant boppy.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
End.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, they were used to you. Now just your yeah whatever,
that's just can start.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Everybody knows I got a girl, they do. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I'm the last one to know. I haven't stalked you properly.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know what it is. So I don't post her
as much because I like, I like my privacy.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I feel like that's a lot of people they feel.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Like I feel like I want something for me, Like
when I go home and I'll put the camus down
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like that's yours, that's beautiful. I spoke to someone else,
but a lot of people and they're just like, I
just don't want to. And it's crazy because then when
the cameras turn off, they're like, yeah, I'm married, Yeah
I have two kids, Yeah I have a fiance. Okay,
no problem. But they say the same thing that, like,
my personal life is the only thing that still feels
like it belongs to me, and that is sacred. So
you know, you got to preserve that because once you
(17:21):
put everything out there, people feel like they can disrespect.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
They could take it from you, they can feel like
they could be in it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
And that's not the case.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
He's like, I mean time, okay, so hold the end
of how am I the Comedian? Today?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It's Sunday?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Is that? What it is?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Your turn through up? Don't tell me you're one of
those content creators that's like, listen, I only content create Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
After that, I turn it off.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I'm having a good every day.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Is there a totally different side to you? Like Yang Yang?
Like at home You're like, I I don't want to
make you laugh, or do you keep your fiance laughing?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I mean she'd be laughing sometimes because honestly.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I wouldn't want to. They know damn comedian that can't
make me laugh at home?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh no, we laugh, we laugh. It's just be an
asshole and then not be an asshole, so she'd be maugh.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I can see it. I can kind of see it,
but it takes a tough girl to deal with somebody
like you. Hold the end though, being an asshole with
the jokes. I'll be like me now we came along
with the salad. You've known each other a long time.
We've been together, Okay, that's friends before that.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No met at the clurb at the clurb, come on.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Don't give me that. What is that Memphis?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
No, no, no, that's Glorrela.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah it is. She's Memphis, right. I like her accent.
It was weird interaction with her, between her and Speedy,
it was just like I was like, I liked it,
but then people like they were flirting. I'm like, oh dad,
people are weird.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I love her accent.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I love it. I like it too. Now seeing stars,
you ended up get your own TV show on Revolt.
That was December that it launched.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Right, Yeahmber February started.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Oh yeah, you might look when you had the party.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, that's when I launched it. But I had that
show already in the bag like a year and a
half ago.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
So you shot it and then you were just waiting
to announce. How hard was that?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It sucked? Sucked?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
As where can people stream it?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Now? Revolt's Revolt? It was on Revolt TV still I.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Think it's on demand or how can we demand that?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Nice? Nice, nice, nice Revolt? How do you feel about Revolt? Like,
you know, what everything that, everything that happened, like everything
(19:54):
that you know, it was weird because the Breakfast Club
used to stream on Revolt, but you know, before everything
happened with Diddy, then it stopped. But then it was
just like what happens to everything? But then I saw
they did like a major overhaul and like all the
employees are different.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
They sold it, right, yeah, they sold it as a
new owner and you see y'all and now they're like
creat catering to the creator basically, like that's the route
they're going to and they're trying to revamp.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You know, as they should because I felt like it
was an you know, and that happens a lot with
brands when someone is attached to it like a celebrity
and then things go wrong, which I've heard people be like, nah,
I don't want to attach to a celebrity, even me myself,
like I'm like, I don't want to do something with
a person because if they get into some shit, then
are what we've created here is no good. But luckily
it didn't affect you your show launch.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I felt like it did affect me. You did, yeah,
how long it took for them to drop it?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay? As far as like how long it took for
them to drop it because a lot of stuff was happening.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It did affect me a lot because people he was
even saying, because it's you know, uh I got the.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Deal because it did he okay, and you knew him personally?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Uh no.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They I was doing promo for de Leon okay, the tequila.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, I was doing for tequila, and I was doing
it for before for soak and stuff, and basically I
wanted more money and we ended up. You know, they
liked my ideas and they was like, yo, we need
to give you a show it's all right, cool, that's beautiful.
I love that, and that's how that's how it went.
But then the nigga got in trouble, you know, yeah,
(21:23):
you know.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now that you say it. I remember somebody reaching out
to me and they're like, would you work with Sirac?
And I was like, of course, what's the problem. They're like,
can you just think about it and then get back
to us, And I'm I'm like, oh, now it's making
sense the whole Didny thing. And that's why they're asking
me about you know, it's I was like, I would
It's a brand, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's a brand. It's still a brand. I mean, I
wasn't there when he was getting in trouble. I ain't
doing of that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You were like, I don't condone it, you know, no
primes are ever going to be condoned.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't condone it. But I am a man. I'm
a different type of person, So I'm not going to
shoot on people that gave me an opportunity either, So
I respect the man. Don't expect what you do.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
You know what he did, a lot of stuff is
coming out, you know, things, perceptions are changing. I don't
know me as long as no kids are involved. If
it's all adults and it's all consenting adults, I kind
of like take a seat. I'm like.

just one word that you would use to describe, you know,
how it feels to be Latino, how it feels to
(26:01):
be Come on channel, you're in a bad bunny, Come.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
On, ken, hold on, we paying my nails, Give me

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Hold on, get do it. That's painted or I thought

Speaker 1 (26:16):
It, all right, I banged it. I didn't do that.
It was painting her room or whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you mean her room you have separate rooms.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, I was painting her room, our room or room,
her room, her room, the house, the house. Listen, she
could run the house, I run the streets. I'm fine
with that.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Ask I have. I have a house too, and it's
like our room is our room. But then I give
him his own room. Because this man, when he gets
dressed again, it's like shoes, his hats, the whole closet. Like, listen,
that room back there, Just do whatever you want back then.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
In my it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Oh hella, just not counseling nobody. Counseling yourself, right, myself
and the chair. Now give me that one word. Come on,
I feel like your energy has been different. I'm not
used to this. Can I like it. I like it,
but I'm used to laughing so much with you. And
I feel like I made you laugh today.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I appreciate you because that's very hard to do.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I need to get paid. Somebody better rub me my
coin immediate, best get on your you know Minicano, look American,
American give it food stamps.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So one word for you know, Damn, I don't. I
don't have one.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You gotta have one, man. It just feels good. It
feels I feel.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I don't want to right, I don't want to give
you the wrong word. I want to give you, like
the perfect word.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I don't have nowhere to be blo oh man, be quiet, ok.
In the Hispanics Club.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Everything I used to be a part of our SPEEDA.
I don't know if you ever heard.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Of that aspire speed up speed. I said, I there, yeah,
something like that what you used to speed out to me?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
But it was it was a uh oh man, why not?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
This is what I need? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
This is back in high school, and so it was
different high schools. It was like a Hispanic youth leadership institute.
So it was just a bunch of Hispanics and we'll
do like community stuff. We'll go to hospitals, we'll have
like retreats, you know, everywhere. But it was but it
(28:27):
was like it was like educational though more more or
less it was fun, but educational.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Make sat everybody who was part of our speed because
I think I would have been part of something like that.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, I forget. I might have to look it up
for the meaning.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Work can I don't have one?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
You know? You know I was gonna say greatness, but
no underestimated.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I want to say that, especially in this industry, I
feel like Latinos are underestimated. Especially when you go to Netflix.
You ain't see no Puerto Rican shows. You see a
bunch of Mexican shows. No offense to the Mexicans, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I feel like, yeah, but you're right.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You know when you go to when you go to
La too, they only know one type of Latino in
this Mexican Like when I went to LA they thought
I was black, No offense. I okay, I consider myself
more black than Puerto Rican Latino. Yeah, Afro Latino because
like with the videos I do, I feel like I
only cater. I cater more to English.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
You're very connected with the African.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Americanhood, you know what I mean, more than I do
to anybody in Puerto Rico or any Latin community. So
I feel like I'm in right in between.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I feel like with content, it's like you have to
find you know your way through, and I consume a lot.
I consume shows from Spain, from Maintina, wherever it is.
As long as they're speaking the language, I'll consume it
because it is very true when it comes to American shows.
It is very West Coast. It is a lot of
Mexican shows New York, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans. It's limited, but
(29:58):
we are there. Like let's say Orange is and News
Black Latina, albeit Thatez, but you have to look for
it and you have to be I don't want to
use the word grateful, but I do feel gratitude when
I see myself reflected in some of these Netflix shows,
even if it wasn't created for us. You have to
(30:21):
find those pockets where you're like, I can relate to
this person. Let's say Dexter, Dexter, that's just like, you know,
the Latino. You know what I'm saying. Everybody only Dexter
is a white man, right, everybody else is a Latino.
So but I feel like if we look for it,
we can find it. But there is definitely a void
in a gap where they do need to create more
(30:41):
content here in New York where it is Puerto Ricans Dominicans.
I miss it, I need it, and I feel like
it would it would work well because you know, I
love Mexicanos, but I feel like I can't connect. You know,
there's some shows that I'm like I see what they're
doing here, but no man quain throw because Norman went through.
I went to see real windmen have curves on Broadway,
(31:09):
but it was it was in l A. And I'm like,
what's happening? Why am I watching a Broadway show based
in La? My mom and know what he oh, no
lemina like the.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
George Lopez show. I never had a house. I never
lived in a house like that. I live in the projects.
I lived in a regular building. Bro, I had to
walk up the steps. You're like you it was so
it was harder for like not not none offense, George great,
it was just hard to like, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
You want your show to really really really hit home.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
And I feel like the Living on My Pops pilot,
I feel like I'm I'm gonna change the game with that,
and it's gonna be like a little bit of Martin
with a little bit of you know, like like even
like when you watch my videos, the liver with My
Pops is the only Spanish that I do, the only
Spanish thing that I do. So when I started on
the videos, I was like, I'm gonna have to tap
(32:02):
in more into this because you know, I'm not representing me.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
And it's what lives in my brain the most. Like
when I when I want to talk to you, I
want to talk to you about your pops, I guess
because it is content my father.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right, stop thinking about my father. I'm just saying,
be a hollid. Shock them to fifteen. We get crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
We get that check in it pens, that's aside social Security.
Pops probably get like ten g's a month, and I'm
here to spend it. Don't play with me, ken, I
wish I might have to do that video anyway. Talk
to me. Where can people find you? Website? Instagram? What's
the deal?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Star? Just type that in listen?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
But what is it? Three rs?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Yes, three hours? This is my tenth Instagram page. I've
been Instagram when I slapped a guy in the casket.
They took my pages down like six times after that,
and then after that I was doing wild Ship. Was
porn stars in the streets.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
But pace yourself, pace yourself. We want these big Netflix checks.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Okay, I know I got but I've calmed down. I've
calmed down with the girls that the type of girls
that have in my videos too.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Now you said porn stars in your videos but I got.
I take up on it.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
The meet up in a video where a girl got
crazy and she stripped naked, chasing me in my building.
You know the nah the landlord. What's crazy? The landlord?
He calls me. He followed me already on Instagram. He
was like, Yo, you gotta do one like that and
tag the realty company?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
What the but away? I got?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
What is me? Sir? Take my rent off the damn
fucking least.
Speaker 2 (33:43):

You see. Now you're opening up. Now you were getting.
Speaker 1 (33:49):

me to make you laugh. No, really, thanks so much
for sitting down with us. Thank you for everything you're doing,
the content creation and know tapping into your Latin and
the projects that you're working on, making them for us.
Speaker 1 (34:05):

have so many unfunny people here.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Listen. We had, we had Rammy winners, We had to listen.
We did everything. We did actors, we did photographers. We

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Comedian, he's a comedian.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
No, don't do that, not a comedian.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Don't do that. But you're hilarious.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
You should do stand up, but god stop, because I
wanted to shoot and direct, shoot movies and see my
ideas come to life. I will be doing stand up
later on in life, though, No, I amuse. I got
a lot of stories to sell. You know the difference,
