- Hey, guys, I'm Rich Brian,
and today I'm going
undercover on the internet.
[keyboard clicking]
It's Actually Me.
[keyboard clicking]
Seriously, it's actually me.
First up, Twitter.
[keyboard clicking]
[upbeat music]
They got a tour right?
Right?
Mxdnxghtdxve said, "Surely
to God they have to.
"@88rising here me out.
"Head in the Clouds festival,
but like, in the UK."
I would love that.
I would love to go to the UK for Head
in the Clouds festival.
That'd be tight.
I don't know if we're
allowed to disclose this,
but I think we might be
working on Head in the Clouds
and other places.
Hopefully.
I'm not gonna say anything else.
Hopefully in the UK one day.
I would love that.
Next one.
"Y'all ever stop to think
about how much content there is
"of Brian driving and yet
he does not have a license?
"Care to explain Rich Brian?"
I don't know if I'm legally
allowed to speak on this,
but you know, who knows.
What if it's a fake car?
And what if it's a fake
green screen background?
You never know.
You don't have any evidence on me.
It's just a video.
I'm good at VFX.
And I'm good at editing videos
and Photoshopping things.
So, what if I edited all that?
You don't know.
So...
Next question.
"What the [beep] Andrew Yang
on stage at Rich Brian concert.
"What the [beep]!"
That was a super random moment.
I basically started my
North American tour.
Andrew Yang DM's me.
He's like, "Oh, do you
have a show tomorrow?
"Like, are you in town?"
He was like, "Maybe I
should come through."
And I was like, "Oh yeah, you should.
"You totally should."
At one point he was like, "Is
it cool if we go on stage?"
And I'm like, "Yeah, totally, absolutely."
So, we gave him a mic.
He was so excited.
It was so funny.
He almost crowd surfed at one point.
It was super tight.
But yeah man.
Super cool dude.
And super random appearance,
but I think people enjoyed it.
[whistling]
"Hey 88rising, I just wanted
to know who thought it was
"a good idea to give my
boy Rich Brian that hair?"
What do you mean, it was a good idea?
I love the mullet, dude.
That was a fake mullet
that they just kind of like
stuck on my hair.
The glue was stuck to my hair
for the next three, four days
after that.
But I don't regret it because
it gave out such a powerful
kind of vibe and energy.
And I wanted to just walk
around with a mullet all day.
I felt like such an [beep].
It felt great.
You know what I mean?
I appreciate those who enjoyed it.
And those who don't like it,
you're gonna like it one day.
Just keep an open mind.
[whistling]
"Can you make a rap that details
the steps to a Rubik's cube
"so I can actually [beep] solve one?"
It's actually not a terrible idea.
I would love to make
like a Teejayx6-style rap
about solving a Rubik's cube.
So thank you for that idea.
I might come out with that one day.
And I will hit you up for your royalties.
[whistling]
Oh, Instagram, all right.
Brian and Jaden collab soon?
I don't know.
Jaden, do you wanna collab?
I would love to collab with Jaden.
He's a lot busier than I am.
He's out there fixing
the world and you know,
having free vegan food trucks and shit.
Shout out to him, he's great.
Is he on the toilet?
Yep, he's on the toilet.
I was sitting on the toilet,
and I was taking a shit.
And I was like, "This could
be, you know, good content.
"And I haven't posted on
Instagram for a while.
"So I'm gonna take a picture of this."
I was on my way to Japan with my parents.
And when I took this picture,
my mom was actually waiting
outside of the bathroom for me.
Yeah, I'm really proud of this one.
Quora.
You may not believe it,
but it's actually me.
How did Rich Brian get famous?
I got famous for my dick pics
and, no I'm just kidding.
I kind of got a following
online on Twitter, I would say.
But then it really started popping off
when I started making music when I was 16.
It's been a crazy ride since then.
I found 88rising, the label that I'm with.
Before actually meeting
them, I was in Indonesia
and then I was just working
with them remotely on Skype.
And I finally came to
America when I was 17.
And the first show in America that I did
was Rolling Loud Miami.
Which was insane.
Very unforgettable experience.
And it's been a crazy ride.
So, that's how I got famous.
Submit.
What are the best Rich Brian songs?
I really like Drive Safe from The Sailor.
That's like a good singing
song, if you like that.
If you like rap songs,
I would recommend Kids.
If you don't know much about
me, it's one of my lyrical
songs and it's very kind of
like, it's a story telling song
about just kind of everything
that happened to me,
and then just everything,
like, that I went through.
I love Vacant.
I feel like people sleep on Vacant.
It's a song about a failed relationship.
About a girl that's very insecure.
And then the dude is just
like, "Dude, I'm just trying
"to treat you nice.
"And like, you're making
all these accusations,
"and it's making me feel
like I'm a piece of shit."
And in the middle of it, I
start singing in falsetto, so
what more can you ask for?
Submit.
Next one, Wikipedia.
Brian was homeschooled and
has stated does he not wish
to seek college education.
Though if given a chance,
he would attend film school.
You're right, you're right.
It's just too late for me.
I was homeschooled.
And I'm academically just like [beep].
I missed out on so many years
of school that if I went
to college, I would not know what to do.
And also, just the whole
idea of just like going
to college and like drama and bullying.
I feel like people would bully me.
Or like, having homework?
That sucks, I'm sorry.
And having a teacher.
Having a teacher is such a strange concept
to me at this point.
Just 'cause I'm so used to
learning things on YouTube.
Megan Thee Stallion is
out there just being
a very successful rapper
and just like going
to college at the same time.
And there are multiple
artists that do this.
I salute them for doing it.
I can't, I cannot do that.

Reddit.
Why isn't 88rising
popular in Southeast Asia?
Is it not?
I feel like it is.
I don't know if there's
like a statistic or a number
or anything, but I feel like it is.
It starting to be at least.
88rising and Guess did a collaboration.
And then I did a photo shoot with them.
They put a picture of me like super big
in all the storefronts
all over Southeast Asia.
But the picture was like, super ugly.
I did this super ugly awkward
pose and I didn't know
that they were gonna put
it up in storefronts.
I thought it was just gonna
be like a fun online thing
that everybody was gonna post.
And then I found out
that it was basically all
over Southeast Asia, so...
It's all good.
It's all good.
Honest question.
Who exactly are these rappers
who are going after Brian?
Do I talk about that a lot?
Is that something that I
talk about in my songs?
Did I say that?
I guess, I don't know.
[sighs]
Rappers are very competitive
and everybody just feels
like they gotta prove themselves and like
be aggressive to everybody.
But at the same time, I'm friends with
some really nice rappers.
And we're actually all
cool with each other.
This is all fake.
We're not out here just
trying to kill each other.
And just trying to like,
finish each other's careers,
and whatever.
Maybe some rappers talk
shit about other rappers,
it's all fake.
You know, everybody's bullshitting
and this is all Hollywood.

YouTube.
Aight bro, no one's
gonna talk about the fact
that this girl started
drinking glue at 1:30?
Yeah, she started drinking glue.
And then we were like,
"Yo, let's get that."
It was super tight.
It was not really glue.
No kids were harmed.
So Sam Lee said, "Is no one
gonna comment about the fact
"that he just up and has
a freaking pet crocodile?"
Yeah, I'm not sure how many people think
that is a fake crocodile.
But it was a real crocodile.
It was actually like a full-grown
five year old crocodile.
But it was just the type of crocodile.
It was like a really small one.
It was terrifying, it was just
like, I was just holding it
the whole time, and then
the crocodile's mouth was
just like open the
whole time and just kind
of like staring into nothingness.
Just kind of like.
And I'm like, the whole time
I'm holding it, I'm like,
"I wonder what he's thinking about."
And then the guy, like the
animal instructor was like,
"There brains are really small, like that.
"So, most of the time, they're
not thinking about anything."
So I'm like, "Wow, that
must be [beep] nice."
IJCT said, "Is only me, or
there is a tons of references
"to The Beatles in this song?"
I would say so.
I know what you're talking about.
Bekon worked on the song
a lot and then you know,
I know he's like a huge
Beatles fan so I'm sure
that's where it came from.
And you know, the way the
vocals are layered, and like,
harmonies and everything,
it's definitely The Beatles.
