Career
In 2015 she created her first YouTube channel and some time later joined the Jukilop group of YouTubers.{{Cite journal |last=Vargas |first=Diana |date=January 6, 2022 |title=Te decimos cómo se hizo famosa Kenia Os y cuál es su nombre real |url=https://www.explica.me/entretenimiento/Te-decimos-como-se-hizo-famosa-Kenia-Os-y-cual-es-su-nombre-real-20220106-0006.html |journal=Explica.me |access-date=January 2, 2024 |archive-date=October 1, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221001101949/https://www.explica.me/entretenimiento/Te-decimos-como-se-hizo-famosa-Kenia-Os-y-cual-es-su-nombre-real-20220106-0006.html |url-status=live }} Given that she was offered to sign a contract that did not benefit her and other disagreements, in 2018 she left the group. Due to the previous contract, Os's social networks were deleted because they were no longer her property. After that, controversy and rivalry would arise among YouTubers, which increased her popularity.{{Cite journal |last=Ramos |first=Fernanda |date=February 21, 2022 |title=¿Por qué Kimberly Loaiza y Kenia Os se pelearon?
