As a teenager, I made a few (sexually explicit) rap videos with friends. The motivation was primarily for fun; never as a career. One of the videos got over 25k views on yt.
That stint in my life is obviously behind me & I'm 100% dedicated to professionalism. Will my history be a major barrier to getting an analyst position?

Sexually explicit rap videos? Don't most people just call that porn?
Tyga is that you?
On a scale from 1 to 'Tip Drill', how bad we talking here?
Is it still online? Why not just take it down?
Nescac, no where near that bad haha. Probably like a 4 on that scale xD
Anon, one of the artists involved wants to continue their music career. It's currently one of her highest-viewed videos, so I didn't want to breach the subject with her until I was sure taking it down would make a material difference.
Just try to become a rapper.
You think Future is rapping about spending lots of money? Please, he's talking about how he "fucked up some commas" in a pitch book and doesn't care.
You could just become really famous, and then advise a media-focused advisory firm or PE fund.
I call it "pulling a Bono".
God, I am glad I grew up in the dial-up era.
How easy would it be to find and would someone at a bank realistically try to look it up?
Just don't put list your rap name on your CV and you should be fine. Unless you are Soulja Boy, then you can superman that ding.
The comments on this thread are gold. Multiple SBs handed out.
For real though, unless you used your actual name for rapping I doubt anyone is going to find this video.
I'm starting to wonder if this is just OP trying to throw us off his rap game humblebrag.
I thought Chamillionaire was getting into VC not IB.

Well this refreshing! I was getting tired of all the underage drinking citation, speeding ticket related concerns.
It goes without saying, but don't but "rapping" in your interests/hobbies section as that might motivate people to search for your work.
Is your actual name linked to these rap videos? In the comments of, video tags, or summary of the videos?
Humor us with a link!
Like newbie16 said, look up your name on google and youtube to see if anyone can really even track you to that video. Looking at the views that viral videos generally get on youtube (at least more than 500k), you should be fine.
Honestly, I don't think it should affect you anyhow... 25k views is not much compared to today viral's videos... Besides, even if they did find it, I don't think they would immediately use that as criteria for not recruiting/firing you. We all did stupid things as teenagers, don't stress about it.
25k views? fuck outta here man who the hell is gonna find that
haha, this. That said, one night it will be 3am and another analyst will no doubt find it (lets be real, IB in general requires high digging skills) and you should be prepared
