Lolcow DeAndre Siggers - Washed-Up Comedian

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Okay, I did some more digging on my own, and let me try to make this thread more informative.

tl;dr - He's a washed up YouTuber who can't admit his 15 minutes of fame are up. Siggers apparently never got a job while he was young (life sucked for him even then), and was shocked when Youtube money alone couldn't pay the bills anymore. He used dark moments in his life to try to get pity, and money, from his audience, not realizing how badly this would hurt his image.

According to his Youtube Wiki page, he had a real hard life. Parents divorced, mom died, stepfather was cheating on his mother with the woman who called Siggers to tell him his mother died. Scumbag sister. Grandmother died. He dropped out of high school. High school friend died, one of his favorite teachers died, all around the same time he was getting popular with the "Black Man Angry at Toys R Us" video, and the Pokemon video. He put in the work that year on YouTube and tried to answer to every fan, and everything was happy for a while. Siggers got his own apartment and had his own bills to pay, which he did with YouTube alone. So, if you go by that page, he's kind of a poor soul, who still had some shit happen to him after he got popular (another girlfriend left him, whatever else it says there), but that's omitting some damning shit. I'm guessing the source of this life story is Siggers himself.

So what's that wiki page missing? Well, I found this page which tells me a bit about his rise and fall. Apparently, he had gotten the attention of Eminem, Dane Cook, and even got to meet and perform in front of Kevin Hart. Supposedly, he was making over 6 figures at 21 years old.

The fall of Dcigs began when YouTube changed its algorithm to discount invalid views. As a result, Siggers made less money out of YouTube since then. It apparently got so bad that he would constantly bitch about this in videos he literally called "Slogs" (video blog about his life) - the page also mentions that he could be seen getting taken to jail and evicted from his apartment in these Slogs. It also makes a mere mention of him addressing comments that get on his nerves.

What this doesn't mention, however is that Siggers would literally SCREAM at his fans. Or that time he chimped out so badly towards some people in a parking lot, that he got a taser, and threatened to run over a guy, and yelled at people with a megaphone. You can see this stuff here, but let me warn you, there's some fluff with silly montages:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnrpMImscYA

He even says in the same incriminating clip that he's the "craziest nigga in the world" and wants the other guy to hit him. "HIT ME! HIT ME!" he said, before cowardly backing away as the other guy feigned throwing a punch. The video also shows some of the childish screaming he did at his fans through videos ("HOW CAN YOU BE SO DISRESPECTFUL?!" in response to people watching, but not leaving comments), and also that time he said he needed a release, or he might "Sandy Hook" a school.

That same user made two more videos on Dcigs. Part 2 shows the good ol' days. "He wasn't always like this" basically. I'm summarizing this because, like I said, there's fluff in these videos.

And part 3 shows his lowest points
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k7_BdsD3ZE
In a deleted Slog video, he was talking to some guy simply known as "Coach" - who was a religious man trying to help Siggers, for whatever reason. Coach is in a car and tells Dcigs that he doesn't look good and to get in the car. Siggers talked about seeing God, and going up there, with no shoes on. He didn't believe in wearing shoes, suddenly, and this talk must have made Coach think Siggers wanted to kill himself. Coach then asks what's going on, and to turn off the camera - Siggers put down the camera, but kept filming, probably figuring he could score pity points out of this.

It's revealed by Siggers that he was in $4600 in debt, and he couldn't make rent. He then cried when bringing up his dead grandmother and said he can't do what he wants to do. Dcigs, once seen as a funny man on YouTube, killed that image with this. Funny thing, he said he doesn't spend much money on weed because he gets it for free for being "famous" - one of the comments in the video made me think that this was him indirectly saying that he's using the money donated by fans to get weed. Best part is that Coach and whoever he's with goes to a store, and even though Siggers got told to stay outside (he had no shoes on), he went in. Coach bought him some damn sandals and ointment for tooth pain, and even then, Siggers asked for more money. Apparently, he couldn't even buy some food or drinks, but he somehow had money for weed.

Really gets the noggin' joggin', huh? I guess this is why people are talking about him being a scammer. That, and according to another comment in that last link, Siggers went on some debate and said that he "no longer cares about money" - and somewhere else, he said he wanted to make millions so he could give back to his fans. We're at the point where no one in their right mind really believes this will happen, so I guess this is why some people are saying he's scamming his fans.

Another show of how fucked up Siggers got was when he said he wanted to stick his dick in her asshole. "Her" being a 17 year old girl, who he approached with the camera on. Like an autist, he asked "why you always covering your face?"

Finally, the video wraps up with some pretentious rant from Siggers where he talked about the religious concept of darkness, and basically tried to guilt the viewers into donating money, while giving some advice that he clearly doesn't follow.
 
Okay, I did some more digging on my own, and let me try to make this thread more informative.

tl;dr - He's a washed up YouTuber...SNIP

It never ceases to amaze me how these people never think ahead, not just this guy, it's the common denominator for every lolcow with a successful or formerly successful YouTube channel. The line of thinking is never "Wow, I should stash most of this newfound wealth away in savings and investments because it's unlikely to last forever."
 
People who never have had money tend to freak out whenever they get a decent pay, forgetting that it's so easy to lose it all. It's a bit depressing to see someone who you thought was a pretty funny person and down to earth end up being like this.

Also, this thread title is absolute dogshit.
 
Livestream was deleted so I’ll post the bits I remember from the little bit I watched...

He was being sued or something by PayPal for $5000 he owed them because of the Bill me Later credit option they have. His lawyer was able to work it out to where he only has to pay $1700.

He voluntarily went to the mental center, he was not committed. He had severe depression and was unable to get out of bed and even unable to masturbate which I guess was the breaking point.

The doctor said he believes he has ADHD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The doctor also did not think he should go out looking for a regular job on the heels of these diagnoses. Not sure if he’s getting medication. The doctor encouraged him to try and return to YouTube but Siggas did not want to in his current state.

His internet was shut off when he returned home, his car insurance was cancelled, and his lights were turned off a couple days after returning home. A friend gave him some money to get the internet turned on and he got enough donations during this livestream to cover the light bill. He has no idea how rent is going to be paid.

People told him he should apply for disability considering all his diagnoses and the doctor saying he should not be working a regular job.

A friend had given him a sake set as a gift and he took a shot of it after someone donated $20. Sefus was also there but remained off camera.

I stopped watching at this point. Hopefully he can get the mental help he needs.

Well, on the bright side, his viewership picked up, but man, look at that latest video's title. I didn't see the video, but judging by a peek at his twitter timeline, I can tell he really is feeling like a failure. Also, he wants that pity from his fans. Btw, dat banner.

Yeah, he's motivational alright...he motivates me to not end up like him.

Also, he's still going on about muh glitch (or was, as of november this year). Let it go, man, your time in the spotlight is over.

Finally, the guy who made the videos I mentioned earlier in this page mixed them together into one, adding some extra stuff.

There are many, many more on his page, for anyone curious:

....Holy shit.
My mates and I watched dcigs videos back in 2010-2011 or so. I remember 2 years ago going back to his videos to see how the guy was doing and he really seemed to have fallen off his rocker. I didn't know it went this deep though, with being tazed - yelling at fans and all.

I originally just felt sorry for the cunt but now I feel repulsed.

Dcigs jumped off a balcony while drunk to impress a girl, shattered his legs, didn't go to the hospital for about a month, and now he's potentially going to have his legs amputated.

According to the doctors, the best case scenario is that he stays off his feet for 3 month, keeps his legs, but develops severe arthritis. Given what a mess he is, though, he'll likely get an infection and have them cut off.

It's a shame that this thread is so shit because Dcigs is probably one of the most compelling - and possibly the saddest - YouTube has-been.

Apparently it wasnt to impress the girl. The girl and her boyfriend have an open relationship and Dcigs jumped off the balcony just to avoid having to talk to or deal with him (he said in the video he's been seeing this girl off and on for 9 years and the boyfriend was already aware of dcigs), so it's not like the boyfriend wanted to fight him or whatever for messing with his girl.

Dcigs did say he was drunk at the time so that's why none of this makes any fucking sense.

Every time I check on this guy once in a while his situation gets worse and worse.

Update on Dcigs
If only he hadn't burned away the good will from so many of his fans (just look at the meager response he got here), he could ask for the surgery money and just get it done already.

So, his legs are still kinda fucked, but hey, he's getting decent viewership again.

Man, it's incredible that this guy's gotten so little attention on this website. Maybe it's because the OP isn't particularly detailed, but this guy's life makes DSP, Boogie, Wings, etc. look like sane and happy individuals.

Here's a small recap of what's happened to him during his YouTube career, since about 2006:

- He was a huge streamer back in the days of justin.tv, making rants and prank calls.

- He managed to transition into YouTube successfully, making 'angry black man rants.' He garnered a huge audience and attracted mainstream attention.

- He did comedy shows with Joe Rogan, was sponsored by Shaq, and everything was going perfectly for him.

- As with every fad YouTuber, the views start to dry up eventually, but Dcgis isn't able to accept that. He blows through all of the money he had saved on weed, video games, and gifts for his friends.

- In an attempt to get more views, he 'jokes' about shooting up a school. He's arrested and taken to a mental institute.

- His videos start to get more and more deranged. He lashes out at his friends and alienates most of them. He begins talking about 'fighting back the darkness' and promising his viewers that when he begins successful again, he'll give anyone who supports him money. He starts adopting a bizarre cult-leader persona.

- He begins crying regularly on streams and videos, demanding that his viewers give him money. He attributes his decline to a 'YouTube glitch' that's cutting all of his views in half. He dedicates nearly two years to doing nothing but ranting about this. He stops uploading 'angry black man rants' as he's afraid of wasting good content on 'the glitch.' By this point, most of his audience has abandoned him. He posts videos of himself screaming at customer service employees. He's kicked out of his apartment for fighting with the building manager and allegedly filming a little girl and getting into a fight with her father.

- In an attempt to impress a woman, he jumps off a balcony "trying to do an avenger pose" and shatters both of his legs. He refuses medical attention, fights with the staff, and goes home. He's allegedly unable to get treatment for a few months, and by then, his legs are a mess. He's told that they might need to be amputated. His disappears off of YouTube for a few months,

- He recently made a return to the platform as he hasn't paid his bills for months and needs to generate some money. He now walks with a cane. He also posts a video on his personal channel in which he rants about an altercation he's going to have with a cancer-stricken crackhead. He later removes that video, stating that he and the 'cancer young man' resolved their differences and that he had only posted that video in case he was killed so everyone would know that he had been murdered.
