YouTube: Lyrical Lemonade
The Rizzler is breaking hearts across the internet after opening up about his life after viral fame, saying he hasn’t seen his best friend, The Costco Guys’ Big Justice, in months.
The Rizzler, real name Christian Joseph, is an internet icon at just 10 years old. But fame comes with a heavy price, which the influencer acknowledged in a June 2 interview with Lyrical Lemonade’s Steven Savoca.
During their chat, Joseph was asked to define a hypothetical “perfect friend,” which he said would be someone who “doesn’t care that I’m famous.”
He went on to describe a real-life incident where one of his classmates, who previously never spoke with him, suddenly became very chummy once he became a viral sensation.

When asked about how he spots someone who’s only friendly due to his fame, Joseph answered that it’s when “at first they don’t talk to you, but then, when you become famous, they talk to you.”
He went on to name Big Justice of the Costco Guys as his best friend — someone who, previously in the interview, Joseph said he was on ‘so-so’ terms with and hadn’t seen since last year.

The show’s host, Steven Savaoca, was visibly perturbed by Joseph’s answer, and he isn’t alone; a clip of the interview has gone viral on social media, leaving viewers heartbroken for the 10-year-old internet star.
“He considers Big Justice his closest friend but hasn’t seen him since last year? That’s heartbreaking,” one user wrote on X.
“This is actually tragic. How is this kid supposed to have a normal life?” another asked.

“That’s heartbreaking, no kid should go through that kinda sh*t,” another remarked.
It’s lonely at the top, but at least The Rizzler is building up wealth for generations, most recently scoring a brand deal with Arizona Iced Tea and even getting his own meal at Hardee’s.
