You may know him as Kiki online, but before that persona was born, he was best known as Derek. While running a successful barbershop, it was humor that kicked off his current endeavor. He now spends his time creating comedic content online as a character who is the complete opposite of him in real life; and like anything else on the internet, it hasn't come without criticism. Derek opens up about the challenges of portraying Kiki's character and how his rise in online popularity led to the fallout of a friendship. He shares the upcoming projects that are in the works and how he went from selling watermelon as a kid to help out his grandpa to running a full-fledged business with hundreds of thousands of people watching his every move.
