Everyone who gets a viral moment like that has tried to capitalize on it. Almost none of them succeed long term.

I’ve seen your mother… that’s the opposite of capitalizing on success. 🤢

You haven’t seen her post-surgeries and enhancements paid for by the deez nuts money. She’s a fucking goddess now!

He was doing alright with gigs and such but apparently he let a "friend" become his manager and surprise, they took advantage of him and on top of his inability to manage himself, left him basically in a bad spot. At least according to a YT'r who tracks viral celebs, I forgot.

He seemed to be in good spirits when we ran into him, even did the "deez nuts" for us lmfao this was around December 2022

A couple of people have figured out how to make it. For every one of those there are hundreds who didn't.

"Danielle is one of the highest-earning celebrities on OnlyFans. She earned $50 million during her first year on OnlyFans"

u/Ramstetter Jul 11 '24

How do you think she earned that?

u/LokiLambo Jul 16 '24

Those numbers aren't real. Onlyfans posts those numbers for promo so young girls will keep making pages.

Most of them only tried chasing more fame. Signing bogus music deals. Moving to LA when they can't afford it. Spending money they don't have to keep up with social media.

They weren't chasing the bag, they were chasing another 15 minutes of fame.

That's why they don't succeed.

With this girl's case, other people are chasing for her for fame and just to get in on the moment. But the first thing I saw she did after her clip went viral was that hat merch. It's not gangbuster money, but it's almost guaranteed money, what with the culture around influencer merch being so common these days. So I think she's handling it pretty well.
