1992 - present
Two Fort Wayne kids: Damien Antwon Prince was born in Fort Wayne on 18 February 1992 and attended South Side High School. Biannca Raines was born in Fort Wayne on 6 March 1997 and attended Snider High School. In the summer of 2012 they met where they both worked, a Little Caesars Pizza restaurant in Fort Wayne, he twenty, she fifteen. What followed, as they have told it on their own channels and as the biography record repeats, was the lean start the genre runs on: a first child in 2015, money trouble, a stretch living in a motel. The Fort Wayne tie is not a birthplace technicality; the couple, the meeting, and the hardship all happened here, and the channels were the way out.
D&B Nation: In March 2016 they launched their first channel together, D&B Nation, reactions first, then the pranks and challenges the channel became known for. It passed one million subscribers before the end of 2016, a growth rate the biography profiles describe in tens of thousands of new subscribers a day at the peak, and it stands at over 4.1 million subscribers and 296 million views on the Next Biography count. Biannca's own channel, started alongside, holds 1.7 million subscribers on the same tier of sources.
The Prince Family: On 23 August 2016, five months after D&B Nation, they launched The Prince Family, built around their life as a couple and then as parents. They married on 18 March 2017, in a ceremony streamed live on YouTube, the wedding itself being content in the new form's way. Subscriber counts for the channel differ by source and date, and this record prints them dated rather than choosing: over 10.9 million, as reported by the Sportskeeda wiki in December 2023; and 12 million, as reported by Net Worth Spot, updated 1 November 2026. Either way it is, by an order of magnitude, the largest audience ever built by creators from this city. The family now lives and works in Houston, Texas; Fort Wayne is the origin, printed as the origin.
