Social media is often criticized for its many negative effects, but every so often, the algorithm-driven content mills churn out something life-changing, and that seems to be the end of the stick Mandeville-born 1Biggs Don has found himself on, teetering on the edge of stardom with his viral freestyle, Bwoii Affi.

Despite his humble reservations, the now 18-year-old 1Biggs Don, who has OTP Control to thank for his viral moment, has caught the valuable gaze of Canadian rapper Drake, whose history of endorsements of upcoming artists, producers, and athletes is well-documented.  In addition to Drake’s Instagram follow, Biggs Don has also earned the attention of the genre’s elite, with Popcaan, among others, also recently following him, and Aidonia and TeeJay being among those who have sent him words of encouragement. According to World Music Views, Biggs was even featured by popular American TikTok personality, Andrew Tate, whose commentary social media users described as mean-spirited and hateful.
