What We Know About Shane Dawson's Partner Ryland Adams

Ryland Adams started his career in the media industry, having covered entertainment news for the online content network Clevver TV, which was owned by Defy Media. He left the company in 2017, but a year later, after Defy Media announced that it was ceasing operations, he and Shane Dawson alleged in a YouTube video that the company stiffed many creators of their hard-earned money.

“I never got to make a Why I Left Clevver video because I was being threatened to be sued literally every single day for about three months,” Adams dished. “In the grand scheme of things, they weren’t letting me progress like they were letting everyone else progress… For them not to sue me, I had to sign an agreement that I would be partnering with their MCN [Multi-channel Network]. It was a way for them to screw me over but let me out of my full-time job at Clevver.”

Luckily, Adams found success in his own right when he started his YouTube channel, where he regularly shares vlogs and has amassed nearly 4 million subscribers. In 2019, he won the Shorty Award for vlogger of the year, and in 2020, he launched a podcast called “The Sip” with Lizze Gordon. It’s safe to say Adams has been quite the busy bee!
