Child influencers Baby Gronk and The Rizzler.

The Rizzler just got called out by Baby Gronk in a video that's making many on the internet groan and say, "This kid again?"

Maybe, more accurately, the collective consciousness is thinking, "This kid's dad again?"

The videos in question were shared on Twitter / X to the mini Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski's account. Baby Gronk is shown harassing a younger, cuter Rizzler (dressed in his famous Black Panther costume) in the first video. He then calls the actor playing The Rizzler "fat."


In a follow-up video, Baby Gronk threatens The Rizzler (Christian Joseph) and his partner in crime Big Justice. If we take his words at face value, it sounds like he wants to beat up The Rizzler and his family.


For those out of the loop, Baby Gronk (real name Madden San Miguel) is a child influencer who made waves last year when his dad painted him as the number one Gen Alpha football recruit.

His dad made him seem tough by orbiting hustle culture manosphere aesthetics, represented by his collabs with women many years his senior.

Baby Gronk, or more so, the machine behind him, has come under criticism from some. His father, Jake San Miguel, is responsible for his social media presence.

In past interviews, he's said that he's doing everything to set up his son financially. But others have viewed him as a clout-chaser hellbent on keeping himself relevant at all costs.


Alternatively, The Rizzler has become a symbol of wholesomeness for many since his viral ride began this year. It all started, in a big way, when he began collaborating with the Costco Guys, aka A.J. and Big Justice, a father-son duo who just appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, not forgetting their little sidekick.

However, many would argue that The Rizzler is the main character. He's become a New York Mets mascot and the adopted child of the Barstool "Zynternet" at large.


Baby Gronk's aggressive stabs at The Rizzler this week have appeared desperate in the minds of many internet users. There's a reason why Baby Gronk's video has 2 million views but not even 500 likes in a day. It's because a more viral repost of the video clapped back, saying, "Rizzler don’t know you lil bro."


Child influencerdom is a strange and relatively new world. The council has seemingly decided which forms are okay and which are not.

The Rizzler has ridden his 15 minutes of fame to the full length and has maybe even exceeded it, but his message is often perceived as positive and his antics are childlike. In other words, he's not trying to be someone he's not.

The same cannot be said for Baby Gronk, whose vibe comes off as abrasive to his detractors.

Child actors are already notorious for their cycles in tabloid news as they grow older and further away from their "peaked in elementary school" primes. The thrill of mainstream popularity at such a young age can be detrimental when things just don't work out later on.

As child influencers age, it will be strange to watch what happens and what beefs from their pasts even last.
