Shane Dawson Wiki – Biography
Shane Dawson (born as Shane Lee Yaw ), is an American YouTuber, actor, writer, comedian, director, make-up artist, and musician. He was one of the first people to rise to fame on video-sharing website YouTube, and has since maintained an online presence.
One day after Shane Dawson apologized for a number of his previous YouTube videos which featured him wearing blackface and using the N-word, Twitter members called out for another apology to be made, one directed toward Willow Smith.
On June 27, an old video of Dawson’s, who currently has 23.3 million subscribers on YouTube, went viral online. In the short clip, Dawson is seen pretending to a Disney Radio poster featuring a then 11-year-old Willow Smith.
Dawson, whose real name is Shane Lee Yaw, recorded the video in 2010, when Smith’s hit single, “Whip My Hair,” was first released. The YouTuber appears to be pleasuring himself to a poster of the pre-teen while sexualizing the lyrics of Smith’s debut song. Dawson is 12 years older than Smith, who’s now 19 years old, and co-hosts the show, “Red Table Talk” with her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith.

In Dawson’s apology video, which was posted on Friday, he apologized for his remarks on pedophilia. During a since-deleted “Shane and Friends” podcast episode in 2013, Dawson said, “Having $ex with children, touching children or anything of that nature is terrible and you should not do it. But here’s my thing. People have foot fetishes, people have fetishes of everything.”
Dawson said of his past comments, “I swear on my life I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child that in any way was inappropriate. That is disgusting, that is gross, it is not something I would ever do. It is something I did for shock value or because I thought it was funny.”

Willow’s father, Will Smith, has yet to comment on the controversial video.
Apologizing for His Racist Videos
On June 26, Dawson put on a video on YouTube entitled, “Taking Accountability.” He said, “I’m going to start with all the racism that I’ve put on the internet as an adult. I made the decision to play stereotypes of Black people, or Asian people, or Mexicans, or pretty much every race.”
Dawson continued on to say in his public apology, which has since been viewed nearly 5 million times, “Blackface was something that I did a lot on my channel” he said. “I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be Black, and see this white fucking guy do blackface, and the whole internet at that time being like, ‘LOL!’ That’s insane and I am so sorry.”
The controversial YouTube star, who’s worth an estimated $12 million, has been posting controversial videos for over a decade. Back in 2014, Dawson issued his first formal apology for wearing blackface and making racist statements.
In his 2020 apology video, Dawson reiterated his regrets over his former videos. “At this point, realizing how many people I’ve hurt or how many people I’ve inspired to say awful things or do anything awful to, to finally just own up to this and be accountable is worth losing everything to me.”
