Quenlin Blackwell
Quenlin Riquera "Quen" Blackwell (born January 17, 2001) is an American influencer, model, and comedian. 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. As of 2025[update], she hosts the YouTube interview series Feeding Starving Celebrities.
Quenlin Blackwell was born on January 17, 2001 in Dallas, Texas. She was raised in a predominantly white suburb of Dallas after she moved from Cincinnati, where the rest of her family is from, when she was about three years old. She has described the move as "traumatic" and her upbringing in Texas as alienating, stating that she had to "constantly convince" her friends at the time "why [she] deserved their consideration". As a child, her father was in prison. She started a YouTube channel when she was eight years old and began posting videos online at age nine. She also participated in cheerleading. She attended Allen High School in Allen, Texas. She had her first viral video at age 12 which got 5 million views in 24 hours.
In 2015, when she was 14 years old, Blackwell started posting comedic videos on the video sharing platform Vine, where she gained over 500 thousand followers in the mid-2010s. Blackwell gained an online following after she posted a video of herself falling while performing a cheerleading stunt, which received more than five million views in one day. Many of her other Vine videos involved similar physical comedy, including her falling off of a hoverboard and strumming a guitar with her hair; she retrospectively described it as "freak content". When Blackwell was 17 years old, she moved to Los Angeles, California.
Following the shutdown of Vine, she became popular on Twitter and YouTube. A screenshot from a 2018 Twitter video of Blackwell screaming, paired side-by-side with a photo of reality television personality Ms. Juicy staring blankly ahead, became a popular meme on Twitter in May 2019 to depict users trying to explain things to their mothers. She began posting vlog–style videos on TikTok in 2019. A video on the platform of her crying over accidentally purchasing a couch for $100,000 and asking for donations went viral in October 2022 before she soon revealed that it was a prank, which received backlash online.
By 2023, she had more than eight million followers on TikTok and more than one million subscribers on YouTube. Blackwell starred in the music video for SG Lewis and Lucky Daye's song "Feed the Fire" in November 2020. In February 2021, Blackwell signed with United Talent Agency. 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. 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. She launched the clothing brand Riquera in December 2023.
In March 2024, she made her runway debut walking for Off-White during Paris Fashion Week. She appeared alongside other Internet personalities in the music video for "360" by British singer Charli XCX in May 2024. Blackwell was featured as an onstage guest during Charli XCX's performance of her songs "Von Dutch" and "Guess" at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. She signed with Creative Artists Agency in October 2024, by which point she had amassed more than ten million followers on TikTok and more than two million on Instagram.
