Akil McKenzie, better known as Unsighted on TikTok and Instagram, is a Toronto-based film director, rapper, and poet. Unsighted has been posting his poetry on social media since he was a college student, but briefly went viral last year for freestyling at a Morgan Jay show. This video garnered over 30 million views. He went viral yet again a few months later, after posting his “white girl dance” to Kesha’s “Your Love Is My Drug” on TikTok during the summer. The wholesome videos have amassed millions of views on TikTok, and for good reason: People can’t seem to resist Unsighted’s energy, and often join in on the dance with him. TikTok users have also requested the dance at various locations, such as Starbucks and crowded malls across Toronto.

The viral stardom couldn’t have come at a better time for Unsighted: he released his single, “Fucked Up,” in July 2025. As of April 2026, Unsighted has nearly 1 million followers on TikTok and 640,000 on Instagram. While his dance videos have no doubt played a role in his social media standing, it’s the duality of his platform that tends to surprise people: His angry rap music is a stark contrast from his bubbly “white girl dance” videos.
