About

Vexbolts is a TikToker who originally focused on Fortnite content but became known for his multiple TikTok sounds like one of him saying, "Let him cook now." Others include, "Show me your Griddy … Oh my God, that's one way to hit the Griddy," "This is the Ocky Way," "The meat riding is crazy" and "How Does This Affect LeBron's Legacy?" among others. He started posting content in 2021 and later spread his presence to both Twitch and YouTube. He face revealed going into 2024 and pivoted to so-called Brain Rot content that mocked the overuse of memes. His new content which banked on the death of memes earned him a mixed reputation, ultimately resulting in the Vexbolts Mass Unfollowing on December 31st, 2024. The campaign to mass unfollow him caused a significant spike in Vexbolts' follower count.
