Daniel M. Keem (born March 8, 1982), known online as Keemstar, is an American YouTuber, podcaster, and streamer[3] who is mainly known for being the host of the Internet popular culture news show DramaAlert.

[5] In July 2011, Keem held a tournament alongside Alki David called the 'Billionaire's Challenge' in which contestants competed for prizes.

[12] During production of a second Billionaire's Challenge, David stated an assisted suicide would be shown, which caused controversy and led to some YouTubers cancelling their participation.

[9] In January 2016, Keem posted a tweet directed at TotalBiscuit, a YouTuber who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, saying that he could not wait to report on his death.

In response, Keem called the video "entertaining" and denied wanting to attack other YouTubers, saying he has "no problem booking guests or landing exclusive interviews".

He also apologized for the comments and incidents he caused, but claimed he was justified in saying "nigger" since a genealogical DNA test said he was nine percent black.

[20] Etika's body was found in the East River four days after the video was uploaded, with the Office of Chief Medical Examiner determining that he had drowned after jumping from the Manhattan Bridge.

[22] In May 2020, YouTuber Ethan Klein released a video exposé about Keem, with one of his claims being that he exploited Etika, who later died by suicide.

"[9][24] On October 25, 2021, Keem announced on Twitter his plan to retire from YouTube on March 8, 2022, the day of his 40th birthday and after 14 years of content creation.

[28] However, on February 12, 2022, Keem announced that he had changed his mind and would not retire from DramaAlert, citing a lack of confidence in any permanent replacement and a new 3-year sponsorship deal struck with sports betting company MyBookie.
