About this episode

Deshae Frost discusses his journey from acting to social media success and shares travel stories.

In this episode of The Crew Has It, Michael and Gianni sit down with multitalented creator Deshae Frost. Deshae opens up about his journey from pursuing acting at age 12—landing roles on shows like S.W.A.T.—to the pivotal moment he realized social media was his true calling. He shares the "broke to million-subscriber" story, the reality of the audition process in Hollywood, and how he transitioned into the world of high-stakes streaming with Kai Cenat and DDG.
