CashNasty is a big name in the YouTube gaming community. Since he started sharing content on the platform in 2013, he’s amassed a loyal following of people who enjoy watching his gameplay videos, and also love his sense of humor, which is one of the reasons he eventually started his second channel – CashNastyReacts.
The popularity of CashNasty has not only extended beyond the borders of YouTube to other social media, but has also landed him great sponsorships and his inclusion in big content creators’ partnerships. All of this leaves no doubts about CashNasty’s prominence in the YouTube sphere, and the impact of his content.
Who Is CashNasty?
CashNasty, whose real name is Cassius Jeremy Clay, was born on 4 December 1990, in Vidalia, Louisiana USA. He’s the oldest child of Cynthia Ann and Cassius Lavern Clay, who are also parents to Jamarcus and Desteni.
Cash’s family wasn’t well-off during his childhood; as he recalled in a video, his parents owned an old two-seat truck in which the whole family had to be ‘squeezed’ together to fit in, leading him to give them a brand-new 2020 truck as a surprise. Cash also makes sure to spend enough time with his parents whenever they visit his house, to the point that he happily cancels his live streams to tend to them.
Regarding his childhood, in 2022 Cash revealed that he was a ‘closeted gamer’ as a child, given how he hid his love for video games from almost anyone. He also described himself as a non ‘hands-on person’, causing some worry to his parents, who would have preferred him to go outside more often, and sometimes took his gaming tools away due to that. Nevertheless, Cash was grateful for growing an interest in video games, as he felt it kept him away from trouble.
In a 2020 video, Cash revealed that he’d attended college, but not much is known about his education aside from that.
Beginnings On YouTube
CashNasty started his first YouTube channel – WhatChaMaCalling – in 2013, later changing its name to the current one. His first video was a gameplay of the simulation video game “NBA 2K”, shared in July 2013.
As Cash affirmed in an interview with For The Win in 2018, by the time he started on YouTube he was an assistant manager at Walkman, but was deeply intrigued by the world of online creators, how they used the internet to express themselves. He then started creating videos which went according to his passion for video games, getting lots of encouragement from his then-girlfriend, friends, and subscribers to keep up sharing his content.
Cash’s online content consisted of gameplay and Twitch streams, often putting lots of his sense of humor into the videos he shared. Though that hobby was a clear contrast from his nine-to-five job of monitoring employees at a store, Cash kept up with both for over a year, only stopping when his gaming content became profitable enough.
Later in 2015, Cash started his secondary channel CashNastyReacts, which had him diverting from the usual gaming content to interact with other online creators, and joke about viral videos.

The results of these efforts can be seen in his main channel CashNasty, which is now close to surpassing the 4.5 million subscribers mark, on top of having a viewing count of almost a billion.
His side channel CashNastyReacts isn’t too far behind that, accumulating 2.4 million subscribers and 700 million views, on top of having over 150,000 on his CashNastyShorts channel.
