Wayans to produce livestream and interactive content on the platform
Deal follows launch of James Harden as inaugural Premier Creator 
Partnership expands creator-led engagement strategy

MyPrize has entered into a partnership with actor and comedian Marlon Wayans, who will join the platform as a Premier Creator producing livestream and interactive content for users. 

Under the agreement, Wayans will host sessions in a dedicated multiplayer room where users can participate in games and conversations in real time. 

The collaboration follows the platform’s earlier appointment of NBA player James Harden as its first Premier Creator.

MyPrize Founder and CEO Zach Bruch said: “Bringing Marlon Wayans into the MyPrize creator ecosystem is a massive moment for our platform.”

Bruch added that the partnership allows audiences a place to play, connect and laugh together.

Wayans’ involvement will include original broadcasts and audience participation features designed to increase direct interaction between public figures and users on the platform. 

Wayans said: “I’m excited about MyPrize because they focus on culture and make it possible for me to connect with my fans directly. I can’t wait to jump on MyPrize and play games, joke around and hang out with my fans around the world.” 

The platform reports more than 1.2 million users and says its content offering combines multiplayer experiences, livestreaming and creator-led activity. 

The addition of Wayans forms part of a broader effort to expand celebrity-driven programming and community participation. 

In November 2025, MyPrize partnered with Crypto.com to launch MyPrize Markets, integrating prediction market contracts into its livestream environment. The offering enables users to access sports, crypto and event-based contracts within the same platform interface.

Good to know

MyPrize previously raised $21m in funding at a valuation of $250m
