Career

In May 2017, Deleonardis started posting challenge videos on Instagram, using the handle "SteveWillDoIt".[3] The name referred to his assertion that he would perform any challenge his viewers ask of him.[4] He moved his platform to YouTube in May 2019, using the same name. Deleonardis's challenge videos primarily consist of him consuming very large amounts of food, alcohol, or cannabis.[5]

In May 2019, Deleonardis joined Nelk entertainment.[3] In February 2020, he moved into a residence in Los Angeles, California together with the rest of Nelk.[6]

Criticism

In October 2019, singer Demi Lovato criticized Deleonardis for his many challenges involving alcohol consumption, claiming that such large-scale consumption of alcohol is dangerous regardless of whether or not it is intended for entertainment purposes. He is also known for his gambling habits which sparked controversy in early 2020 with people claiming he was promoting gambling to a young audience.[9]
