Samuels started his YouTube channel in May 2015. He described himself as an image consultant and influencer.

Since 2015, his YouTube channel has gathered over 1.4 million subscribers and 1.2 million followers on Instagram. In just a few years, the personal stylist turned into a social media influencer who wore finely tailored suits.

Samuels first started posting videos giving fragrance reviews on YouTube. Later, he would have lengthy live streams where he would talk about how Black women had unrealistically high standards about the types of men they should be dating.

The day before his death, Kevin did a long live-stream video where he criticized college-educated women saying:

“Why are so many modern women holding out? What are you holding out for? Whatever it is, ladies, it ain’t working, and the net result is you become a party of one.”
