Southern gentleman and multi-award-winning creator and adult entertainer Derek Kage fits the quintessential definition of a daddy—a good-looking gay man who likes to take charge in and outside the bedroom. Last year, he won Top Daddy Performer at the Pornhub Awards. Will he have a two-peat in 2026?
This week, Pornhub announced the nominees for the 8th Annual Pornhub Awards, an announcement everyone had been waiting for since the ceremony date was dropped. Derek Kage made the list for one of the hottest contested categories, Top Daddy Performer. His scenes for top-shelf studios and his premium social media content have him in the top rankings, views, and searches on Pornhub, earning him this coveted nomination and hopefully the win for a second time.
“Winning my first Pornhub Award last year was a dream come true. It was a magical night, and that was just the cherry on top of an amazing sundae. It would be amazing to win again. Hopefully, my worldwide fans have been searching for me and watching my videos enough to make that happen. Thank you so much, Pornhub!” says Derek Kage.
Presented by Crypto Casino 1win, the Pornhub Awards are set to take place on Wednesday, May 27th, in Los Angeles.
