How’d Morgan Wallen get to meet the Rizzler?
Chances are, if TikTok has ever melted your brain even a little, you’ve come across “The Rizzler.” He’s an 8-year-old gone viral who’s fully embraced the nickname, even dropping bars like “You know me as the Rizzler, I’m the panther dressed in black” in a song (appropriately titled “Rizzler”). He’s often spotted with The Costco Guys, AKA “Big Justice,” and his dad, A.J. Befumo.
Yesterday on the 8-year-old’s Instagram, he dropped a picture of him and Morgan Wallen, which seemed to be taken ahead of Wallen’s appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, since he’s still in the fit he wore to shoot the SNL promo video with host Mikey Madison.
Naturally, the duo is so unexpected and highly meme-able, that the comments section was blowing up:
“Very cool of Rizz to let Morgan Wallen take a picture with him.”
“Hope Morgan didn’t teach you any new words.”
“Rizz you around.”
“Ask him what his favorite word to scream while drinking is.”
“Bet you can’t throw him off a rooftop.”
“Who’s that guy with The Rizzler?”
“The best musician of all time next to some random dude with a mustache”
“when the teacher assigns partners”
“did the Rizzler meet Morgan Wallen or did Morgan Wallen meet the Rizzler“
“You’re too good for him Rizzler”
“Last night we let the Rizzler Talk”
“There’s only one way Rizzler gets canceled…. and that’s taking after his uncle Morgan”
“Letting anyone and everyone be a songwriter on his new album”
“Morgan Wallen gave The Rizzler aura”
“Morgan Wallen pronounces Rizzler with the hardest R imaginable”
Some of my favorites are asking if Wallen can throw Rizzler off the roof like the chair he threw on that one night…or acting like the Rizzler is just taking pictures with a random person or fan. It’s such a niche duo that gives us great opportunities for content.
Lots of people are making memes and commenting on the two guys in the back watching the two take a picture:
“Me watching America endure culture prioritizing Morgan Wallen and The Rizzler”
“The guy in the back is so me”
“Who is bro creeping in the back”
For more context, Morgan Wallen is making his return to Saturday Night Live tonight for the second appearance of his career. His first appearance was in 2020, when he made his rescheduled debut after he got booted from the show for going full Spring Break in Tuscaloosa during the COVID lockdown.
Some are hoping that we will get a Rizzler guest appearance on tonight’s show, since Morgan Wallen is returning to perform as a musical guest. Especially if they are together, which would be a true gift to the internet.
I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall for their conversation. There’s literally no telling how unhinged it could have been, or if they even knew anything about each other before they met. But this might just be the start to a duo none of us are ready for.
Rizz Wallen everybody.
