In this day and age of the internet, everyone is trying to go viral and make a name for themselves.
But Jay Versace proves that when you have ‘IT,’ the attention makes its way to you. The 19-year-old internet star got his start on Vine a few years back with his hilarious impersonations of classic R&B songs and singers.
The young funnyman, who recently opened up to J-14 about his sexuality, has been featured in everything from Teen Vogue to Vibe. He even received a Soul Train Award for the Internet Soul Sensation Badu Award from his favorite singer, Erykah Badu.
She shouted out the New Jersey native on Twitter, admitting that she’s a huge fan.
In honor of his last year as a teenager, we’ve put together a list of our favorite Jay Versace videos…you’re welcome.
