In September, he uploaded a video called “Fred is Dead!”, which has since received over 25 million views. During this time, Shane performed as a number of “drug-addled, often drunk, cultural stereotype characters” in his skits, including: “ghetto girl” Shanaynay, Ned the Nerd, gangster S-Deezy, Barb the Lesbian, Guadalupe/Fruit Lupe (a Mexican with stereotyped chola accent). Many of these rely on caricatures of persons of color and other minorities, and his use of blackface to portray Wendy Williams and Chris Brown in some of his skits led to allegations of racism (see “controversies”).
