Rhyheim Shabazz continues to break barriers for adult performers all around the world.
After winning Performer of the Year at the 2025 GayVN Awards and appearing as a bartender on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohenearlier this year, Shabazz is cranking out plenty of steamy content that people can't get enough of.
Although fans are used to watching his adult content, the star is now sitting down in a new interview with Micah Marquez on the YouTube miniseries DVNTv. The series puts a spotlight on trailblazers and change-makers in the Black queer community who are making major strides for representation.
“I’m naturally a private person, but I recognize that much of my success comes from a community that believes in what I’m building. That support deserves transparency. Sitting down with Micah — someone I deeply respect, along with his partner Montell — felt like a safe space to be fully myself," Shabazz exclusively tells PRIDE.
Along with Shabazz, Marquez is sitting down with other celebrities in one-on-one interviews diving into their personal and diverse backstories. DVNTv kicks off June 1 in celebration of Pride Month and new episodes drop weekly.
"As a middle-aged Black man, it’s surreal to reflect on what I’ve achieved in an industry where I’ve never truly seen myself as a performer, but rather as a creative and a businessman. Still, every time I take the stage, I have to remind myself I belong there. The real reward is proving it’s possible — and knowing that comes with a responsibility I welcome. Micah being so easy on the eyes also doesn’t hurt!"
Shabazz serves as the final interview in the series, but PRIDE has an exclusive look at the sit-down with the spicy photos below. Scroll down and check out the gorgeous pictures captured by Tyren Redd and styled by Apuje Kalu.
