Summary

Kareema Yertargyn is a creator who posts as @kaye.creatives on Instagram and as Kaye Creates on YouTube. Her bios call her a "musician & CS engineer" and "musician & CS engineer student, merging creativity with AI". Her Facebook profile gives her location as Toronto, and Must Share News describes her as Toronto-based. Mindstream, a news account on LinkedIn, calls her an "AI artist" who used Higgsfield to "turn herself" into the main character of a meme-world video.

Her Instagram account began posting at the end of March 2026: a first reel dated 31 March 2026 reads "I'm a musician, an engineer and creator. Every story has a beginning. Come watch my journey unfold." Must Share News says the clip was made with generative AI and dates the first post to 1 April. On 18 April she posted that one prompt in Higgsfield gave her the same character across every scene, and on 20 April she wrote that she is "still kinda new to AI" and asked what people think of AI being normalised in art.

The feed is cinematic and playful AI-made video: fantasy worlds, recreated movie scenes, a Coraline recreation, a Disney-castle scene and a Wild West short she credits as directed by herself, many made with Higgsfield models such as Seedance. A large share of posts are tutorials, with prompts offered to anyone who comments a keyword, and some prompt guides are published on her Higgsfield page. Her YouTube channel, opened on 26 April 2026, carries longer tutorials on AI realism, filmmaking workflows and Claude Motion, and her Instagram bio points to the newest one.

Growth was fast. On 17 October 2026 she posted that she reached 1 million Instagram followers in six months from zero, with millions of views and hundreds of brand deals; those figures are her own claim. When read on 20 October 2026 her Instagram showed 1,171,868 followers, 202 posts and a verified badge, and her YouTube channel 69.4K subscribers, 79 videos and about 2.6 million views. Her TikTok (@kaye.creates1, whose bio points to her Instagram) had 661 followers and her Threads about 5,800.

Her authenticity is disputed in public. Must Share News reports that some people suspect she is entirely AI-generated or a Higgsfield marketing project, that a Reddit thread on 1 October asked whether she is real, and that a commenter claimed to have found a YouTube vlog of her speaking Russian at the Almaty Museum of Arts, a video since made private. The article notes that most commenters think she is real but probably backed by a team, and that many posts credit Higgsfield. No page names an operator, and nothing has confirmed either account of who she is.

Is Kareema Yertargyn AI?

Unclear. Kareema Yertargyn's videos are made with AI tools such as Higgsfield, and she presents herself as a real musician and engineer, but no page confirms a real person behind the account or names who runs it.

Her content is AI-made, and her own likeness is part of it. Her first Instagram reel is a generative-AI clip, and on 18 April 2026 she wrote that one prompt in Higgsfield gave her the same character across every scene. Mindstream, writing on LinkedIn, calls her an "AI artist" who used Higgsfield to "turn herself" into the main character of a meme-world video. The account speaks as a human: her bio reads "Musician & CS engineer", and on 20 April she said she was "still kinda new to AI".

Whether a real woman stands behind that face is disputed, and nothing settles it. Must Share News reports speculation that she is entirely AI-generated or a Higgsfield marketing stunt. It also reports a Reddit thread from 1 October in which a commenter found a YouTube vlog, in Russian, of someone with her name and likeness at the Almaty Museum of Arts. That video has since been made private and the channel renamed, so it cannot be checked. Most commenters there thought she was real but probably backed by a team. Many of her posts credit Higgsfield. Mindstream's line reads as her own framing repeated, not as reporting.

No operator, agency or studio is named. None of the pages we read records a platform AI label, and no interview or press report confirms who she is. aipopdb files her as an AI persona, but on these pages she could equally be a real creator who renders herself with AI.
