In his short time on Instagram, he’s built a brand on pranks, stunts, and crazy challenges that have captured the attention of content sites such as WorldStarHipHop and celebrity entertainers like Tekashi 6ix9ine. However, few have stopped to ask how this social media sensation was able to rise to the top and accumulate such a dedicated network of followers. Well, it’s time you heard the truth from the source, and maybe we can all learn a thing or two about how to grow a following on Instagram.

BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? I kind of went back and forth with a lot of different ideas. I grew up country and my parents split up early on. On my dad’s side, we lived on a little farm and I was around bull riding and horses. When I was super young I wanted to bull ride, but then I grew up. When I got into high school, I was a lifeguard and thought about getting into beach patrol. But then I went to college and all this happened.

AND HOW DID ALL THIS HAPPEN EXACTLY? We were just broke college kids and bored, with a lot of free time. So we started to make content and Orlando Brown reposted one of our first videos. We got a little bit of attention from that and from there, we just kept moving forward. Originally, our content was food videos and we did the hot dog contest to try to beat Joey Chestnut’s record. I ended up not being able to do it but we already had the attention going and decided to switch things up with crazier shit.

YOU’VE BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH A FOLLOWING OF OVER SIX MILLION ON INSTAGRAM ALONE. HOW DID YOU KEEP ALL OF THOSE EYES ON YOU AND WHAT YOU WERE DOING? I made sure to be consistent with everything that I did by posting everyday or every two days. From there, I noticed other pages like WorldStar reposting what I was doing and my page grew through word of mouth.
