Keenan had a huge following on social media … we’re told he was one of the first YouTube influencers to rack up over 500 million views on his channel.
50 Cent actually helped take Keenan’s career to the next level … they did a surprise collab on the rapper’s “Down On Me” song, opening the door for Keenan to work with other celebs.

Keenan was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder when he was a baby, Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, a progressive condition that causes organs and tissues to enlarge, become scarred or inflamed. Some people who have Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome can also have heart issues, which appears to be the case here.
He was 27.
