[6] In 1991, Nasheed moved to Los Angeles, where he began his career as a rapper and later as a dating expert under the "K-Flex" persona, before transitioning into documentary filmmaking.

[8] In 2000, Nasheed had his first acting credit in the mockumentary TV series The Awful Truth by Michael Moore in the second-season episode "Taxi Driver", where he interviewed politicians in Washington, D.C. about allegations of taking money from lobbyists, including Mark Pfeifle, who served as deputy communications director to then-presidential candidate George W. Bush, U.S. representative Tom Lantos, and political campaigner Nick Nyhart of Every Voice.

[9] Nasheed produced the 2011 documentary film Hidden Colors: The Untold History of People of Aboriginal, Moor, and African Descent.

[13] In 2014, he released Hidden Colors 3: The Rules of Racism[14] and co-produced Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (a remake of the 1973 movie Ganja & Hess) with director Spike Lee.

Nasheed believes FBAs must "seek out reparations for their own" and that American-born descendants of the American slave trade have not adequately sought out resources for themselves.

[21] Nasheed also uses the term "buck breaking" to refer to the sexual abuse of Black men, particularly in the context of slavery, via a documentary of the same name, which MEL Magazine described as containing "uncooked nonsense" and being largely inaccurate.
