Netflix's 'Dancing for the Devil' introduced the world to Robert Shinn and the '7M TikTok cult.' Here are the biggest creators with links to the pastor.

• Netflix's "Dancing for the Devil" tells the story of TikTok dancers involved with a controversial church.

• Pastor Robert Shinn signed the content creators to his management label, 7M Films Inc.

• The company's roster includes Miranda Derrick, James "BDash" Derrick, and Vik White.

Netflix docuseries "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult" introduces audiences to controversial pastor and talent manager Robert Shinn, whose Shekinah Church has been described as a cult.

The series starts by examining Shinn and his followers of the Los Angeles-based church from the perspective of Melanie Wilking, a dancer who believes that the organization brainwashed her sister, Miranda Derrick.

Derrick joined the church in 2021 and later signed with Shinn's talent management company, 7M Films Inc, which he started that year.

Derrick has maintained that she is not a victim following her family's claims that she cut contact with them after joining the church.

But while Derrick and her husband, James "BDash" Derrick, are still involved with Shekinah, other dancers have left the church.

The Netflix series paints a surprising picture of how content creators can potentially be taken advantage of while trying to build their brands and find success.

In 2022, a 7M representative denied all allegations of coercion in a statement to Business Insider, saying "at no point" has Shinn tried to isolate anybody.

Here are all the TikTok dancers who have been involved with 7M, Shekinah Church, and Shinn.

Melanie Wilking

Wilking spoke at length about her concerns about Shekinah Church in the first episode of the documentary, and said that she attended a few sermons with her sister.

She also recalled being invited last minute to a Sunday service by Shinn's daughter, Kloe Shinn.

Kloe Shinn asked Wilking to cancel her pre-arranged plans so that she could attend the service immediately.

"I just remember thinking, 'No! I'm not doing that.' I've gone to different churches growing up and no one is ever like 'You have to be here, now'" she explained. "After Kloe did that, I made up my mind that I was never going back."

Miranda Derrick

Much of the documentary explores the Wilking family's claims that Shinn and Shekinah Church have brainwashed Derrick. After its release, the dancer called the documentary "one-sided" in a statement on Instagram.

Following the release of the documentary, Melanie Wilking told her followers that she'll always be there for Derrick if she decides to leave the church. That suggests she is still part of the church.

"We believe that one day my sister and the other victims will realize their love for their families and faith was exploited," she said. "When that happens, we will be there for them without judgment."

James "BDash" Derrick

It's unclear when James "BDash" Derrick and Miranda got married, but the couple posted photos of each other in wedding outfits in April 2024 after being together for two years.

They continue to make TikTok videos together so, although unconfirmed, it seems likely that Derrick is also still involved with Shekinah Church.

"Dancing for the Devil" features footage from TikTok and YouTube of Derrick's content, but like his wife, he does not personally appear in the documentary.

Aubrey Fisher

Aubrey Fisher started attending services at Shekinah Church shortly before Shinn founded 7M Films in 2021.

In the documentary, he explained that the pastor was impressed that Fisher had a similar number of followers to BDash, and claimed that Shinn started the management company after their conversation.

Fisher left Shekinah and 7M in 2022 between May and July, but it's not clear when he and fellow TikTok dancer Kylie Douglas separated. Fisher continues to make dance videos on Instagram and TikTok, and also produces his own music.

Kylie Douglas

In the second episode of the documentary, Douglas claimed that Shinn created a culture of paranoia among his followers. She said that she felt she couldn't even fully share her thoughts with Fisher in case they somehow got back to Shinn.

As detailed in the series, she left the church with Fisher between May and July 2022, because of Shinn's worrying behavior and due to the allegations that Shekinah is a cult.

Douglas continues to work with her own dance company in Los Angeles, The Voltz.

Nick "RainO" Raiano

Nick "RainO" Raiano joined Shekinah and 7M at the same time as Fisher and BDash in 2021. His parents are a big part of "Dancing for the Devil," and they said that he slowly cut contact with them after he joined the church.

When Raiano started to respond to texts again, his parents suspected that someone else at the church was writing the messages for him.

Since the documentary was released, Raiano has deleted his Instagram and TikTok accounts. His main YouTube channel has also disappeared, although his old account with one video is still available.

Kevin "Konkrete" Davis

Kevin "Konkrete" Davis partnered with BDash in 2018 and they auditioned together on talent shows including "America's Best Dance Crew" and "World of Dance," as seen in the documentary.

He and BDash joined Shekinah in 2021 after they worked with Shinn's son, videographer Isaiah Shinn.

Archive footage in the documentary shows that he left in July 2022 following the reports that Shekinah was a cult. Konkrete regularly makes krump dance videos on TikTok and Instagram, and also makes his own music.

After the documentary's release, he told his followers that he "appreciates all the support."

Kailea Gray

Kailea Gray joined Shekinah with her then-boyfriend, Konkrete, and left the church with him in July 2022 following the allegations.

In the documentary, Konkrete claimed they were asked to sign NDAs after going to church, which they were shocked by.

The pair have since gotten married, according to their Instagram accounts, and they make content together.

Vik White

Ukrainian-born Vik White is mentioned in "Dancing for the Devil" as a member of Shekinah, but it isn't clear whether he also distanced himself from family and friends because of the church.

In 2024, he had a minor role alongside Nicholas Galitzine as Simon, a member of the August Moon boyband, in Amazon's "The Idea of You."

He continues to make content with the Derricks on TikTok and Instagram.

Ceasare "Tighteyex" Willis

Ceasare "Tighteyex" Willis is signed with 7M, but isn't featured in "Dancing for the Devil." On June 7, he made a YouTube video about his work, where he also alluded to the documentary by promising to provide "real context" about the "stories that you hear."

Although he didn't mention anyone in particular, the video included footage from Konkrete's livestream where he was discussing Tighteyex.

Later in the video, Tighteyex cryptically said that people he knows are lying about him, seemingly referring to Konkrete.

He added: "If you are being slandered or people are talking about you or lying on you, it comes from people that you know.

Kendra "KO" Willis

Kendra "KO" Willis is another dancer signed to 7M. She's married to Tighteyex. It's unclear whether the couple attends Shekinah Church, but she made a subtle dig at "Dancing for the Devil" on Instagram when promoting her own documentary.

She posted a clip from "The Kendra Oyesanya Willis Story" on May 30, and captioned it: "Because I love real & true documentaries."

Her husband also joined in and commented: "Finally a true documentary."
