He spoke on this describing the experience as "horrible" as he couldn't really breath and his nose was running constantly. He also has a birth defect called Clinodactyly. This defect causes the bone to make a wedge shape instead of a normal rectangle due to an abnormal effect in the development of the small bones of the fingers.

Controversy
In December 2017, Deatraaa (back then was called DashGamez22445) joined a group called "SHIELD 22445" but then within three months, a group member (Jake) accused Deatraaa of calling another group member (Crystal) a LGBTQ+ slur. Deatraaa strikes back as soon as possible saying he didn't and called him out for false accusations. This led to a strain in new videos on the SHEILD channel in January 2018. Some people unsubbed from Deatraaa's channel from hearing this accusation. Deatraaa then uploaded a video calling out Jake about cheating with Crystal on Mike, the co-leader of SHEILD. Mike found out about this through the video and resulted in Mike and Jake fighting in a group chat they had. Jake eventually left the group chat and SHIELD altogether and is unknown if he will ever return. Deatraaa and Rahzaan left SHEILD respectively in March 2018 after the drama.
