Overview
AC Flow, real name Archibald/Archie Cardella, is a British musician and social media personality based out of London, U.K. The creator first went viral on TikTok under the moniker AC Flow for his song "Flow (Woah)." Soon after the release of his music, 22-year-old AC Flow came to be called a cringeworthy "nonce" by his followers for his alleged romantic involvement with a 16-year girl. In consecutive months Flow continued to cater his content exclusively to his teenage fans, gaining him the notoriety of being compared to fellow British lolcow Paul Breach.
Online History
Cardella's earliest known uploads to TikTok were posted from the account @acflow__,[1] while his primary TikTok @ac.flow has been deactivated as of April 24, 2023. However, some early viral videos from his page can be accessed via Duets, and show Cardella's rise to fame and notoriety in December 2022.
