Prior to his official debut, D.Ark first appeared as a contestant on Show Me the Money 777. During his time on the show, D.Ark came under fire for allegations of sexual assault released by his girlfriend via Instagram.[1] Following his official apology, D.Ark continued to participate on the show but had much of his footage edited out by the producers.[2] He would also participate in Show Me the Money 9 in 2020.
