On March 10, 2008, Dawson made his YouTube channel, called “ShaneDawsonTV”. The earliest video that remains on the channel, “Kermit the Frog and Me” was uploaded about 4 months later.

His mother, brother and about six other coworkers who appeared in the video also were fired after the company saw the video. In September, he uploaded a video called “Fred is Dead!”, which has since received over 25 million views. During this time, Shane performed as a number of “drug-addled, often drunk, cultural stereotype characters” in his skits, including: “ghetto girl” Shanaynay, Ned the Nerd, gangster S-Deezy, Barb the Lesbian, Guadalupe/Fruit Lupe (a Mexican with stereotyped chola accent). Many of these rely on caricatures of persons of color and other minorities, and his use of blackface to portray Wendy Williams and Chris Brown in some of his skits led to allegations of racism (see “controversies”).

He began dating Ryland Adams in 2016 and the two got engaged in 2019. He was previously in a relationship with Lisa Schwartz. His mother’s name is Teresa Yaw.
