Early Life
Alexander Kellerman was born in the Bronx, New York, on December 31, 2007. As he grew up, he was hardened by the tough street life around him, which led him on his path to leave the hood and become a rapper / social media influencer. He has two older brothers, Nicholas and Joseph, who may possibly be affiliated gang members, who go by Big Nico and J-Dog. J-Dog and Big Nico have left the hood and moved out to Long Island for college. Kellerman began rapping at the age of three and was a competitive Soundcloud user for over 10 years prior to starting his TikTok career in 2019.
Public Image and Reception
Kellerman has frequently been referred to in the media as TikTok's biggest rapper. Many kids at his old school in the Bronx called Kellerman the "reigning king" of TikTok. JustJo, the creator of the "Did you pray today" and "Turbulence" meme called him the Turbulence Master. In an article for Retisa News, an anonymous street interviewer who went by the name of "Ice Spice gyatt skibidi rizz ohio grimace shake" called him "[TikTok's] undisputed kai cenat rizzler". Much of his appeal has been attributed to his content being seen as relatable and authentic.
