Haha Davis is one of the fastest rising comedians in Instagram history. But it almost didn't
that at 5'4..it probably wasn't going to happen. But after a few signs from God and a timely
seen with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Katt Williams and even this other guy I don't know if you've
hope for; the ability to go from the internet to your name in film credits. The transition
from the internet to film is not an easy one but Davis is definitely showing it is possible.
He told The Source in 2017:
“I never try to be the funniest guy on social media, I aim to be a trendsetter."
And that's exactly what the 26 year old Detroit native has done. His catch phrases and skits
have weaved their way into everyday vernacular within the African American community. Wether
it's explaining hard tasks as IT FINNA BE A BREEZE to making you create emphasis on
your word words, HAHA Davis's impact has gone far past an internet fad. It's become culture.
What's going on guys it's your boy marlon palmer documenting the rise to fame of Haha
Davis here for you on Before they were FAMOUS famous. Now we've documented other comedians
like Kevin Hart, Terry Crews and Key and Peele. Check out those videos and as usual, let us
know in the comment box below who you'd like to see us document next. Now let's roll the
intro intro.
Carlos Davis was born on December 21, 1992 on the East side of Detroit, Michigan. He
grew up with four other siblings and understandably so, life wasn't always easy. His father left
the family when Carlos was just 7 years old, leaving his mother with the difficult task
of raising 5 kids on her own. What makes this situation unique is that Carlos knew exactly
where his dad was the entire time. In his grandfather's attic.While most kids without
a father usually have no idea of their whereabouts, he went almost his entire life knowing exactly
where his dad was but just never seeing him. Unfortunately his mother was forced to send
him to live with his Aunt for 5 years until she could get back on her feet.
From grades 9-12, Carlos played high school football and actually had aspirations to one
He returned home and enrolled in a community college in Michigan while working a bunch
of jobs, including KFC, with his mom constantly encouraging him to get a real job. It took
constant convincing and nagging from his friend Kevin that he even considered entering the
on his youtube channel, which has 178k subscribers, is dated Valentine's Day 2016. I don't even
blame him, I personally plan on deleting my entire twitter account if and when I become
famous. I've said too much. Haha told the Source:
“ One day one of my homies was like, Man you funny bro you should really try to do
comedy and I was like man I ain't no comedian. But I listened and started doing skits on
Youtube in 2012. People liked it so I said to myself, “Hmmm maybe I can do this comedy
thing.”
His own mom didn't even know he was doing comedy, still constantly encouraging him to
get a job. One day a clothing line sent Carlos some free drip in the mail with the name Haha
Davis and Carlos finally explained to his mom that he was doing comedy on social media
all the time, mostly under celebrity posts and blog pages. And I do mean all the time.
He commented so much at one point that he would land in Instagram jail. Unable to post
for 24 hours. Always making jokes or roasting someone, he had a gift of sticking out, even
amongst thousands of comments. One person who took notice was the S N double oh pee
himself Snoop Dogg who quickly took him under his wing and became a mentor and friend to
Davis. On December 18th, the two would display one of the oddest roll outs I've ever seen.
I'll let Snoop Dogg take it away all the way from Haha Davis's bathroom???
The two have collaborated since, multiple times but none to me funnier than the one
"You change my life what can I say I respect no man more than you now and forever"
Since then Snoop has helped mentor and guide Haha throughout his career, even naming a
song after one of his favorite catch phrases “Dis Finna Be A Breeze” with Haha Davis
in the music video which currently has 190k views on youtube at the time of this recording.
But without a doubt, Haha's biggest turning point came on March 29th 2017 with the infamous
immediately. He was good at that. Virality seemed to come second nature. It took about
two weeks before all my friends were referring to me as BIG FELLA and ensuring me I shouldn't
time and time again that he cares about his fans as well as his community. The world got
to see it firsthand on October 21, 2018 when Haha posted a different kind of video than
gas with pennies. So Davis pulled some cash out of his wallet and gave it to the woman.
“My husband just died a week ago, we weren’t like this,” the woman admits.
Davis then gave the woman a big hug and his brother began to well up.“It’s only right,
we gotta stick together,” Davis told the woman.
When the woman asked how she can repay them, Davis’ brother responded, “Just pay it
forward.” I'm gonna tear up gimme a second.
That clip would go insanely viral shedding a new light on Haha Davis and propelling his
superstardom to new heights. Lately you can find him and his catch phrases in NBA 2K19
as well as his own Nike shoe in a collaboration with Tee Grizzley and the City of Detroit.
