Quan Millz Was the Biggest Mystery on TikTok. Until Now

Quan Millz is an author who has self-published dozens of books but, until very recently, has evaded real mainstream attention.

The bulk of Millz ’s books fall squarely within the subgenre of street lit , a category of American literature known for its confrontational realism of Black life in the “inner city”.

Author Quan Millz has published more than 60 titles, all of them presented in a fiercely exaggerated tone.

Millz carved out a singular space in a crowded market.

For years , Millz ’s identity was a mystery, and intentionally so.

He concealed every trace of his biography, never once showed his face and rarely gave interviews.

Quan Millz has been accused of being a white man profiting on Black culture.

His writing regularly lampoons Black men and typecasts Black women, so he must be white, critics theorized.

A Change.org petition requested that Amazon , where Millz self-publishes his work, ban the author for “hate speech” against Black women.
