ImDontai | Before They Were Famous

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Before ImDontai’s YouTube career would afford him not only the opportunity to get name-dropped by rappers like XXXTENTACION but a live-stream game with them as well… Before ImDontai would clock in with a combined 2.5 Million subscribers across three YouTube channels, 41K followers on SoundCloud, 382K followers on Instagram and over 148K followers on Twitch… Before ImDontai would get the Majin Symbol from Dragon Ball Z tattooed on his hand to serve as a reminder that even the darkest of powers can be used for good with the right mental mindset… ImDontai has been a part of the YouTube family for over a decade now, having launched his original channel, ImDontaiGaming back in 2009 where he posted gameplay videos, live streams, and commentaries. By 2015 he was branching out to a full-blown REACT channel known simply as ImDONTAI. By expanding upon his role as an entertainer, ImDONTAI began hosting interviews, roasts, and even movie reviews. It was the success of this channel and his subsequent relationships with rappers like XXXTENTACION that really expanded ImDONTAI’s brand and turned him into a YouTube legend. His legion of fans, also known as Bucketeers, might feel like they already know him from the content he creates, but we here at Before They Were Famous thought it was time we reached into his past to find out where he came from and how he found his success. We got in contact with ImDontai and asked him a series of questions about his come-up, which he was kind enough to answer for us. So this is like a collab.
