  • “All of that just to say how grateful I am for my generation to have so many options when it comes to expressing our creativity. We don’t only have TV, we don’t only have movies, we have RUclips and TikTok-in long and short formats. Like girl, our possibilities are endless.”
    Singer, songwriter, actor, actress, athlete, activist and a scientist on the side, Bretman Rock accepts the Digital Influencer Award presented by global superstar Bella Poarch and luminary beauty influencer Michelle Phan. He has always been admirable for being his true self and outspoken for the API and LGBTQ communities as he encourages his millions of followers and beyond to be their baddest selves without fear of judgment.

      Totally agree. He is so truly f- - - - - g hilarious and a total breath of real fresh air!! I love how he says and does anything he thinks of no matter the situation and without regard to appropriateness. So unlike the people I'm surrounded by who prefer to live in fantasy land where people never talk about or hear anything against their small closed minded ideas or how perfect they think they are. Bravo, good job Bretman!

    Honestly, out of everyone in the beauty community, I was always rooting for him. He's been nothing but hardworking, humble and honest in a space that was anything but. He saw his internet presence as more than what it could be, showing he's had a visionary mindset since a young age. It's amazing to see someone come from very little & find success by simply being the most authentic & best version of themselves. Congrats to Bretman!!
