This week, Shabazz's account was suspended as evidenced by a note on Twitter as well as by industry blog Str8UpGayPorn (link NSFW.) Other accounts like and all of whom are or once were close Shabazz collaborators, have also been suspended. The power of his platform can launch other performers: earlier this year, within the span of eight days one actor's account went from launch to over 30,000 followers largely due to his cross-promotion. While he has done multiple scenes for TimTales, the lionshare of his work appears on his personal pages and he shares teaser clips regularly onto his Twitter account - as well as the Twitter accounts of a loose network of collaborators - to drum up subscriptions. Shabazz's career has largely operated through his fan site platforms, making his Twitter account one of his primary tools of marketing. Shabazz, who recently became the most-followed male adult performer in history after eclipsing the one million mark, is reportedly one of more than 30 accounts that were taken down. Rhyheim Shabazz, a gay adult content creator that shot to fame after launching his career in early 2019, has been suspended from Twitter.
