Quenlin "Quen" Blackwell (born January 18, 2001) is an American social media personality. She first found success on Vine as a teenager in the mid-2010s with comedic videos before shifting to other social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok. She has been nominated for a Streamy Award.
Early life and career[edit]
Quenlin Blackwell was born on January 18, 2001, in Dallas, Texas.[1][2] In 2015, when she was 14 years old, she started posting videos on the video sharing platform Vine, where she posted comedic videos with the username Quensadilla and gained over 500,000 followers in the mid-2010s.[3][4][5] When Blackwell was 17 years old, she moved to Los Angeles, California.[6] Following the shutdown of Vine in 2016, she became popular on Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.[2] As of 2023[update], she has over eight million followers on TikTok and over one million subscribers on YouTube.[7]
Blackwell starred in the music video for SG Lewis and Lucky Daye's song "Feed the Fire" in November 2020.[8] In February 2021, Blackwell signed with United Talent Agency.[7] Also in 2021, she was nominated as Breakout Creator at the 11th Streamy Awards and participated in the YouTube Originals reality competition series No. 1 Chicken, hosted by YouTuber FaZe Rug.[9][10] She was one of the hosts of YouTube's Coachella livestream in April 2022 and modeled for the lingerie brand Savage X Fenty's December 2022 campaign.[11][12]
Personal life[edit]
In October 2020, a then-19-year-old Blackwell and the then-41-year-old American record producer Diplo posted videos about living with one another, which fans online decried as Diplo grooming Blackwell, though both denied that they had a relationship beyond being friends.[13] A video she posted in April 2022 about being groomed by an unnamed 40-year-old led to social media users speculating that she was referring to Diplo.[14]
