‘It’s actually embarrassing that people would think I still talk to them’
An influencer has said he refuses to speak to his family because they don’t have as many followers as him.
Larz, 23, from California, hit headlines in 2020 after he licked a toilet bowl as part of a ‘coronavirus challenge’,
Appearing on Australian radio programme the Kyle and Jackie O Show, the influencer said he found it “embarrassing” that people would even think he still speaks to his family.
Larz was asked by presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson if he no longer speaks to his family, to which he replied: “Of course not. I stopped talking to them so long ago, it’s actually embarrassing that people would think I still talk to them.”
When asked who he speaks to instead, he said: “I talk to Cardi B over Instagram DM. We met on Twitter in 2015 and ever since have talked fluently.
“I’m just more famous than everyone and I won’t talk to people who aren’t unless they get the same amount of followers as me.”

He added that he had blocked his five brothers and four sisters on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat and won’t speak to him until they get the same amount of followers as him.
The influencer has more than 422,000 followers on Instagram. He went viral in 2020 after he filmed himself licking a toilet bowl amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Larz then claimed to have contracted the virus – although his friend Ava Louise later revealed the footage he posted from hospital was actually old and he’d lied about falling ill with Covid.

He’s made similar claims in the past about cutting off his family.
A couple of years ago he appeared on Dr Phil in the US, where he branded his family “irrelevant.”
He added he would “probably talk to them again” if they “got followers or got rich.”
Stop the world, I want to get off.
