LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Adult content creator and social media personality YesKingzTV, aka Micheal Willis Heard, has passed away at the age of 47.
Heard, who built a following across social platforms with a blend of explicit content and affirming, faith-inflected self-help messaging, became a widely recognized meme figure in recent years as his “Yes king” sound spread across TikTok and Instagram.
News of his passing prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and colleagues.
“To be sad would be selfish of me because I know he is now where he belongs … he truly was too good for this world and the light and joy he brought to everyone who knew him shines still,” said former XMA Gay Performer of the Year Max Konnor via a post on X.
Further details surrounding Heard’s passing have not been publicly disclosed.
