Willyrex

On August 9, 2009, he launched his primary YouTube channel. On January 26, 2011, he launched his secondary channel, which was devoted to the video game Minecraft. Both were created on YouTube. But he got his start and gained fame playing the Call of Duty video game, where he was regarded as one of the best players due to his high winning percentage.

"Mw2: Where amazing happens (I)" is the oldest video on Diaz's channel. In the video, he shows clips of him playing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online.

Years before he launched his YouTube channel, he claimed that he made the screen name for his messenger account, Willyrex, when he was eleven years old. He selected "Willy" because it is the nickname for his first name, William, in the English language. He used the word "rex" before creating his character because it is Latin for "king."

He signed his first contract with the online entertainment company Machinima, through which he was able to make money by creating content for YouYube. He claimed during a podcast interview with YouTuber Jordi Wild that he was unaware that you could make money by uploading videos. "I uploaded the videos because people also asked me for them. I signed the contract, it was just a click away, and I was already earning money. It was Crazy. My parents thought they were a scam," he said on the podcast.

He made the decision to switch the focus of his channel in 2021 from video games to metaverses and NFT games, an area he had thoroughly explored and where he had also collaborated with the artist Zigor to produce his first collection of NFTs 22. Most of his followers rejected and criticised this decision, and he received mostly negative feedback on social media from his supporters and other influencers. He was also accused of trying to con his followers and ridiculed in the form of memes, which became popular on Twitter due to the controversy.
