Duke Dennis is one of the most popular Twitch streamers in America with 2.5 million followers. He was born Dontavious Tony Dennis.
One of America’s biggest streamers and YouTubers, Duke Dennis, was born on February 26, 1994. His real name is Dontavious Tony Dennis, which he has discussed in his livestreams. One of the first times he spoke about his full name was while reacting to a video on his life on the popular BeforeTheyWereFamous YouTube channel. While introducing the streamer, Michael McCrudden (the host of BeforeTheyWereFamous) revealed Dennis’ full name:
“Before becoming one of the most popular American YouTubers and personalities on the internet, well gamer Duke Dennis, he was born Dontavious Tony Dennis on February 26, 1994…”
A rather surprised Dennis, who didn’t quite expect the YouTube channel to know his full name, said:
“How the hell did he know my whole name? Yo! (Laughs) Wait, how does this ni**a know?”
Was Duke Dennis in the Army?
Another aspect of Duke Dennis’ life that many aren’t familiar with is the fact that he used to be part of the US Army. The streamer enrolled in the military straight after completing high school. Dennis was locked in a 4-year contract with the army, which ended in 2017. He has previously spoken about his decision, saying that the only reason he joined the army was to escape his neighborhood. He said:
“The only reason why I went to the army was because…if I didn’t go to army, I would’ve been stuck in the hood. So that’s why I did it. Me, personally, I don’t recommend ni**as to go to the army. If you wanna go, then you can go. But the army is not for everybody.”
The streamer also revealed why he left the army. Speaking about the situation, he said that the routine and lifestyle in the military was too rigorous for him. Speaking to his YouTube audience, he said:
“I’m not running five miles. I’m not trying to be a super soldier or Captain America. I’m Duke Dennis…they used to be upset with me because they knew my potential and I know my potential. I know if I tried to, I could have the best scores on the whole base if I wanted to…but I chose not to, because at that time I didn’t believe in over exerting myself.”
Nonetheless, Dennis has left his army life far behind. In recent years, he has enjoyed immense popularity, especially as a member of the popular AMP group. Nowadays, he’s a variety streamer who plays a range of games online. In addition to his Twitch shenanigans, he’s also a major presence on YouTube. His main channel, DukeDennis, boasts over 2.96 million subscribers.
