J. Cyrus, Doja Cat’s long-rumored beau, is a comedian and musician. He first gained popularity thanks to his hilarious videos on the now-defunct social media website Vine. Since then, Cyrus has continued to post content on other platforms, such as TikTok, where he boasts a whopping 700,000 followers, and YouTube, where he has nearly 60,000 subscribers. In an interview with Young Hollywood, Cyrus shared how finding fame on Vine changed his life. “Vine itself has changed because it has become a platform for those who are passionate about creation. You can be passionate about anything — creation, obtaining a large following,” he explained. “How it has changed my life is that now I am able to do what I love on a daily basis for a large audience and I don’t have to change who I am, which in turn has given me the confidence to do amazing things.” He also named some of his comedic inspirations. “Dave Chappelle, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, and Jack Black,” he said. In addition to posting funny content on TikTok and YouTube, Cyrus is also a Twitch steamer and co-hosts “The Ugly Boys” podcast on Spotify.
