At only 11 years old, Baby Gronk was some youth football sensation. His skills on the field are undeniable, and with a nickname firstly derived from NFL star Rob Gronkowski, you know he is bound to be a standout. But Baby Gronk recently took skills developed on the playing field into the studio. “Rizzard of Oz” isn’t any song; it’s a sharp, pointed commentary on the social media culture that has turned young influencers into household names.
On “Rizzard of Oz,” Baby Gronk doesn’t pull any punches. He implicates The Rizzler and the CostCo Guys, stating that they live highly unhealthy lifestyles, calling out their parents explicitly for feeding them junk foods in the name of internet fame. The lyrics are an explicit jab at the growing trend of young influencers who, according to Baby Gronk, would abandon their well-being just for likes and followers.
This diss track has definitely created ripples among Baby Gronk’s followers. The nurturer of Baby Gronk’s online fame, his father, Jake San Miguel, defined the song as a creative way his son speaks up about issues close to his heart and those of his followers.
“Madden wanted to make a statement,” Jake said. “This isn’t just about calling people out; it’s about standing up for what he believes is right, especially when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.”
The music video for “Rizzard of Oz” was shot on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, where one could see Baby Gronk performing his track and interacting with students and fans. Setting-wise, it pays homage to Baby Gronk’s leading propensity for football as Oklahoma is nurtured by its sterling college football program. Already, the video has begun to wrap up the views to further cement Baby Gronk’s status as one of the rising stars in sports and entertainment.
What inspired Baby Gronk to craft such a controversial song? It was a little personal rivalry from those close to him and further relating to his audience. “Madden has always been competitive,” according to a friend of his family.
“He sees these other influencers getting attention for things that aren’t positive, and he wanted to flip the script. He wanted to show his fans that you can be cool, but also be healthy and true to yourself.”
Till today, The Rizzler has remained silent, perhaps strategically choosing to ignore the track to avoid escalating the feud. But social media’s extremely short attention span may be just around the corner.
This isn’t Baby Gronk’s first foray into music. Earlier this year, the toddler collaborated with popular social media star Eli Mack on the single “BG BRO.” The song also featured his grandfather and was a huge hit among followers, showing Baby Gronk can combine his love of football with his up-and-coming passion for music.
Thus, Baby Gronk’s rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. This youthful football player was born on November 4, 2012, and has been doing wonders online since he was five years old. Influenced by YouTube videos of NFL stars, he assumed the nickname “Baby Gronk” in honor of NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski. But with his father’s help, Jake, a savvy digital marketer, Baby Gronk has a considerable following: 550,000 on Instagram, with 363,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.
The success of “Rizzard of Oz” says much about Baby Gronk‘s savvy in the digital world. Whereas most public figures capture headlines for one highly publicized social media feud or another, Baby Gronk is employing his as a tool to get people talking. His diss track has already started to spark online debates, with several individuals speculating whether The Rizzler will respond or allow the criticism to slide.
