Kandy Rash (born Kandace Rashidun on 10 October 1995) is a Qubdian internet personality, socialite, model, businesswoman, and reality TV star. She catapulted into the public eye in 2015 due to a leaked adult videotape with then-boyfriend and infamous rapper Foolish Bandit. Capitalising on the controversy, she transitioned to become a popular content creator on TubeHub. Despite persistent criticism of her talent and character, Rash's celebrity influence is undeniable, largely constructed through her strategic use of social media.

Early life

Kandy Rash was born to mother Kara Miré and father Ramesh Rashidun in the posh district of Kashromi, Qubdi. Raised alongside her siblings, Kali and Korti, she was educated at the prestigious Aroman Hills High School. She later pursued a degree in communications at the University of Naucratis. Despite having a privileged upbringing, her reputation was largely shaped by her strategic use of controversy, spectacle, and an unabashed embrace of self-promotion.

Rash's family name is an anglicised version of the Sahrabic name Rashidun a tribute to their Amutian paternal ancestors who were part of the “rightly guided” Wariths in early Salamid history. The unusual choice of her first name, Kandace, shortened to Kandy by her globetrotter mother, has also contributed to her unique brand persona.

Career

Rash's career began in the shadows of a controversial adult videotape leaked in 2015 with then-partner Foolish Bandit. Instead of retreating from public scrutiny, Rash leveraged the controversy, launching her own TubeHub channel, quickly amassing a significant following. The channel, a mix of personal vlogs, fashion content, and exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life, attracted millions of followers, as well as both admiration and derision for its unabashed focus on self-branding.

Riding the wave of this newfound fame, she co-founded the retail and fashion company Rash in 2017, along with her siblings — Kali and Korti.[a][b][c] Despite persistent rumours that the clothing line's subpar design could literally give customers a rash, the brand experienced significant commercial success, buoyed by the family's relentless self-promotion and the public's seemingly insatiable appetite for their antics.

In 2019, Rash further expanded her digital empire by launching Kandyland, a lifestyle app that features workout routines, dietary tips, and beauty tutorials.

Personal life

Rash's love life has been as public and controversial as her professional career. She has had a string of high-profile relationships, the most recent being with eccentric entrepreneur and adventurer Noel Smuk since 2021. While the pair have no children together, Rash has taken an active role in the lives of Smuk's ten children from his previous marriages. Their relationship and blended family dynamics are regularly showcased on her TubeHub channel, earning them the nickname of Eurth's Modern Family.

Rash has been notably involved in various charitable initiatives, utilising her massive online platform for promoting causes close to her heart. She is also known for her extensive collection of designer shoes, frequently flaunted on her Pinstagram account.
