Thirteen years ago, then-10-year-old DeMarcus Smith, went viral for his smooth moves. Now, he’s featured in a documentary from producer Max James, who traveled to Louisiana to meet him and the crew who helped the video reach internet fame. 

In the video, titled “D Weezy,” Smith is seen pretending he’s courting a girl, who’s actually his sister Justice Smith. DeMarcus is heard singing, “my lips, my stare in here.”

When Julia Burks uploaded the original clip, it was four minutes long. But that clip was later deleted, leaving the video’s only digital footprint to be a screen recording of it. 

DeMarcus told James he first made the song when he was 8 years old and sang it to Burks. Two years later, she suggested that they should make a video with the song. She also decided to include Justice in the video. While showing off his dance skills in the video, DeMarcus is seen kissing Justice on the forehead. He also displayed incredible backflipping skills in the footage. But that video would have been nothing without Burks’ signature chanting of “Go DeMarcus.”

The clip apparently required several takes. But their diligence somewhat paid off in the end as it was watched by millions of people.

While the family enjoyed the popularity of the video, which was shared by artists such as Chris Brown, they were also frustrated use of their content without permission. Singer Trippie Redd used an audio clip from the video in his song, “The Way.” 

“I just wanted recognition for it,” DeMarcus said.

While most people loved the video, others described DeMarcus as a pedophile, saying he was too old for the girl in the video who they, presumably, didn’t know was his sibling. 

“There were a lot of negative comments,” DeMarcus said.

After their initial conversation with the original makers of the video, the film crew produced the sequel to “Go DeMarcus.”

While speaking with the producers, Demarcus revealed that he was shot six times during a drive-by last year. But that didn’t stop him from attempting his famous backflip as the group returned to the original spot to shoot a hilarious sequel. He also recreated the popular kiss and danced to the beat of the familiar song.
