The influencer who calls herself Burning Man’s “final boss” has revealed she’s just complicated.
Shanin Blake, 30, is a digital creator from California who specialises in what she refers to as “affirmation music”. She regularly posts clips of her miming to her songs, which have lyrics such as “I’ve been chilling in the mountains of Peru, drinking ayahuasca with the shamans too.”
Blake regularly receives hate online as people have accused her of being a “Trustafarian” – essentially a rich white kid who cosplays as someone embracing Indigenous traditions.

“Burning Man final boss,” reads the caption of one of her viral clips, which displays her singing the lyrics to one of her songs ‘Peru Song’: “I attract what I allow in, I broadcast love and abundance.” One person commented underneath: “Colonialism’s final boss.”
Someone else wrote: “Your poor daughter. If my mom was making content like this I’d be mortified.”
Elsewhere in the song she fires off a number of conspiracy theories, that she’s learnt “s**t from aliens” and how humans have “used [pyramids] for time travelling”.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Blake opened up about what goes on behind the scenes in her “complicated” life. She claimed how the psychedelic drug only found in South America – ayahuasca – healed a serious kidney infection she had.
Blake told the publication: “It’s literally a diary entry of an experience that I had when I did ayahuasca and San Pedro in Peru with the shamans there.”

The singer, who also flogs racy snaps on an adult website, also spoke about having a child at 17 years old and how she had a difficult relationship with her dad.
“There was a lot of trauma that he inflicted in my life from a very young age,” she said.
Despite the endless hate she gets online, Blake seems to be making it work for herself – her fanbase has exploded and the creator boasts 1.1 million followers on Instagram.
