Curtis Adams[2], known by his stage name Unkle Adams, is a Canadian rapper and motivational speaker. He is known for his mission to reduce teen suicide caused by bullying through anti-bullying programs.[3][4][5] His anti-bullying song and video "I Am Stronger" has amassed over 5 million views.[6]
Debt issues
On February 10, 2018, Adams uploaded the first in his "At Least A Million" series in which he states he is $164,000 in debt due to funding his music career.[7]
Feud with Anthony Fantano
On January 14, 2017, music reviewer and YouTube personality Anthony Fantano released a video[8] in which he reacts to Unkle Adams' track "Original," which got 251,000 views and had been highly criticized due to the video's silly nature.[9] The video went unnoticed by Adams until February 17, 2018, when Adams released a video in his "At Least A Million" series in which he calls out Fantano for causing hate towards him and calls him "TheNeedleDick".[10] This caused fans of Fantano's channel to request Fantano to react to Adams's diss. During a live stream, Fantano was asked by a viewer about the situation. He responded by saying he would take down the video if Adams wanted and apologized for any hate that was spread.[11] The two eventually got together and made a video where they talked about the situation and ended the feud.[12]
