I figured it would just die down and nobody would care. And you know what?
It did for a couple of weeks, until Aaron Carter decided to make everything worse.
(silence). Hi. Welcome back
to me talking about whatever I want. Today, I want to talk about Aaron Carter, A.K.A, the most
embarrassing celebrity I've had the misfortune of hearing about recently. I already knew this
guy was bad from some stuff that was happening a couple of weeks ago, but recently, he's just
gotten even worse. However, of course, I'm going to do a common shout out for my last video. I was
one goes out to Butterball Auto Customs who says, "I'm convinced D'Angelo just doesn't sleep." Well,
as I'm sure you noticed, my bed is always made, and that is, in fact, because I don't use it.
So who in the world is Aaron Carter? You know the Backstreet Boys, right? Yeah, he wasn't in there.
Aaron Carter is the younger brother of one of the Backstreet Boys members, Nick Carter. So Aaron
Carter also tried to join in the music scene, releasing such masterpieces as Aaron's Party. That
was literally the name of the album. Basically, he only got famous because his brother is famous, and
it became largely apparent that he was completely untalented, so that's why he's not famous anymore.
But I guess he didn't get the memo, because he has all the ego of major celebrity with none of
the relevance. And the results is just a sad, sad man, doing sad, sad things on the internet,
which I can relate to, except he's using his power to harass people. Enter JoJoesArt. JoJoesArt is
the polar opposite of Aaron Carter, mostly in the fact that he actually has talent and is likable.
You may have seen some of JoJoesArt's art floating around before because it's really good. He paints
a lot of lions, and space, and altogether, it's just pretty epic stuff. Well, I guess Aaron Carter
thought so too, because this is why everything went South. So apparently, Aaron's launched a
clothing brand, which I'm going to discuss in a bit, but in promoting that brand on Twitter,
he used one of JoJoe's pictures. Now, this is obviously not right, because he's literally
profiting off of someone else's artwork, but being completely fair, I can understand seeing some cool
picture, and thinking it's cool, and using it to share something that you also think is cool.
I wouldn't use someone's art like that without giving them credit,
but if you're not an artist, I can understand how you wouldn't see anything wrong with that,
until the artists politely lets you know. So JoJoe politely let him know, "Hey, Aaron Carter, you're
using my artwork to promote your merchandise. I have not given you permission to do so. My art
is being commercially exploited by people on a daily basis. We artists have rights too. I'd
really appreciate if you could retweet this, so he'll see it." I have to say, that's a lot more
polite than I would have been. I would have been like, "Yo, Aaron, if you're going to steal my art
and try to make money off of it to promote your lousy merchandise brand, could you at least make
sure the merchandise looks good?" I've never seen somebody use a dollar bill to promote a penny,
but that's probably why it's a good idea that I wasn't the one getting my art work stolen. So as
professional as JoJoe was, what do you think Aaron did? Let's play a little guessing game, okay?
Welcome to my game show. Did he A, apologize and taking the artwork down, B, block JoJoe
and refuse to stop using his art, C quietly remove it without making it into a big deal,
or D, began insulting JoJoe and everybody related to him in a desperate attempt to gain some quick
relevance? If you chose D, congratulations, you've used the internet before. "You should have taken
it as a compliment, okay? A fan of mine sent this to me. Oh, here they go again. The answer
is no. This image has been made public and I'm using it to promote my clothing line. Guess I'll
see you in small claims court." Okay, one of my initial questions is who exactly is going
to court? Are you assuming JoJoe is going to sue you? Is that a joke about how he could only do it
via small claims court? Are you threatening to sue JoJoe because you used his artwork? Do you
think that once something becomes public, that immediately makes it public domain? Because that
would make all of your music free for me to use without giving you any credit or revenue.
Then again, that one doesn't make any sense because even Aaron should know that his music
was so trash, nobody would want to use it for anything. Well, because this happened on Twitter,
of course, Twitter had a lot to say about that. There were a lot of people siding with JoJoe for
obvious reasons, but I was shocked and appalled to learn that apparently this Aaron Carter guy
has stans. "You do realize that once an image is out publicly, that it can be used by anyone,
right?" Where do I begin? It's not even like I would say this person has no understanding
of copyright law, it's just like this person has no understanding. If something doesn't belong to,
generally, you shouldn't be using it. But even at that, at the point where you do use it,
and the original creator is asking you not to because they don't appreciate being profited
off of, why would you react this way? This person said, "I've actually seen this photo
many places. Just saw it attached to a quote two days ago on Facebook, so maybe you should start
tagging your art if you don't want it 'stolen'." I really appreciate how this person puts stolen in
quotes as if to imply that it was less stolen than it actually was because it was, in fact,
stolen. Yes, officer, I guess I did break the law because I stole that stuff. That aside,
it was tagged, JoJoe put a watermark there, right on the bottom, just to avoid situations like this,
so really don't know what this person's talking about. "Wait, so he's not actually using your
artwork on his clothing line and selling it? He just happened to tweet out a pic of it
on the post about his clothing line because he liked it? This seems like a huge overreaction,
bub. It's Twitter. People share random pics all the time." Mindy Robinson, way to let everybody
know that you have no talent and no creative bones in your body. I think if you had even a shred of
creativity, you would understand that the things that people create are not just random pictures,
especially something as detailed as an illustration. I really don't know where she was
trying to go with this, but she didn't get there. So thankfully, there weren't that many tweets in
his favor. It's just such a shock to my system that an artist Aaron Carter would
not see something so wrong as cheating another artist out of his rightfully earned revenue, but
that just goes to prove that Aaron Carter has no musical talent. If he cared about artistry at all,
he would immediately understand why the situation is wrong. I think even if you don't draw,
you would understand why they situation is wrong. Thankfully, there were some good tweets in there,
like, "Who's Aaron Carter?" That's my favorite one because honestly, same. "I have a huge issue with
you referring to Aaron Carter as a celeb." I never really hear Aaron Carter's name brought up unless
it's some sort of drama. I guess he's famous enough that when he does bad things, we care,
but he's not famous enough for anybody to stream his music, so that one's on him. This person said,
"Okay, so if I use an Aaron Carter song in a video, don't copyright claim the video because
the song has been made public." To which this other person said,
"Why would you want to ruin your video like that though?" Seriously, if you think I'm exaggerating,
go listen to this man's music. It's a reminder of a dark time. Ultimately though,
my entire opinion on this situation is summed up by this one tweet. "I can see retweeting the
pic in the first place. No harm, as I see it. Not like he's going to start searching all over Google
to see who the creator was. Where I find the problem is when the creator made himself known,
and the artist chooses to ignore him, and even mock him." And the thing about it was this blew
up, it went super viral, there was even a Forbes article about it, and I chose not to
talk about it just because I didn't really have anything to add to that situation. Thankfully,
it was very cut and dry who was in the wrong, and I figured it would just die down,
and nobody would care. And you know what? It did for a couple of weeks, until Aaron
Carter decided to make everything worse. Did you ever square that away with that
artists with the lions? Or did you- No, no, no. I will not acknowledge
anybody who has that kind of attitude. He told me, oh, I need to buy a canvas of his,
from him for $10,000, hang it up in my house. They're going to try to keep using it because
they want to use me for clout. His little story that he got on his Instagram is the most attention
he'll ever receive for the rest of his life. "His little story he got on Instagram is the
most attention he'll ever receive for the rest of his life." Well, now, I'm mad. How
in the world are you going to say that when you're the most irrelevant person I could
name? His little story that you're talking about that's the most attention he's going to receive,
got more attention than anything you've done in the past ten years ever has. At this point,
a new generation of people knows who you are because of JoJoe's art. You owe him any shred
of relevance that you have right now, half a shred, a shred of a shred. So this little
livestream that he was doing that 300 people were watching, by the way, I guarantee you,
if I go live right now, more than 300 people would watch it. If I go live on Instagram,
more than 300 people would watch it. JoJoe could upload a video of him sneezing, and it would get
more intention than your live streams. At what point can we just call it what it is? Slander.
He claims that JoJoe tried to extort him for $10,000. First of all, do you have $10,000? I feel
like if JoJoe did extort Aaron Carter for $10,000, that wouldn't work in the first place. I'm not
going to go try to extort Burger King for a Big Mac. That's just not something they have. And see,
I like this JoJoe guy because he showed up with actual receipts. So I'm going to put the tweets
up on screen, where you can see that JoJoe was calmly asking for compensation for having his
work stolen. There were no demands. There was no mention of $10,000 whatsoever. If anything,
Aaron Carter is lucky that he's not being sued right now, because if this was me, we wouldn't
even be having this conversation on Twitter. We'd be having it in front of a court. Thankfully, at
this point though, Twitter was completely against Aaron because how can you justify outright lying?
Then again, they didn't seem to have an issue with justifying outright stealing, so I'm not
sure I have any faith in these people at all. It's very evident at this point that the only
person in this situation begging for attention is Aaron. Still, he struggles with common decency,
and apparently as selective memory, I feel like this is a level below lack of common decency. He's
just talking about things that didn't happen. "I can't take this video seriously. All cozy in bed,
being a grump reminds me of a toddler that doesn't want to go to sleep." This person actually brings
up a good point. Why are you live streaming in bed? What level of laziness is this? And I say
this as somebody who makes very basic content on a daily basis. I guess I should just turn the camera
this way. Hi. Welcome back to me talking about whatever I want. That would be absolutely tragic,
and yet, somehow, it wouldn't be nearly as tragic as Aaron Carter's entire internet existence.
This person says, "This man's ego is out of control. I just want to know where it's coming
from. You have never been talented. You have always been Nick Carter's little brother. I could
somehow find it within myself to understand, had you ever created anything of relevance or worth
in your entire life, but you haven't, because you're incapable of doing so. So I really don't
understand where this ego is stemming from, when everything about you is fake." If I go to his
profile right now, I can see that Aaron Carter has 625,000 followers. I can also see that he
gets less than two hundred likes per everything. How do you have 600,000 followers and less than
200 likes? Imagine if I was making the videos on this channel with my subscriber count right now,
and I got less than 200 views. Now, usually, I would say, "Oh, I can't say for sure if this is
bought." No, he bought the followers. Either Aaron or someone on his team is desperate to keep the
internet from realizing just how inconsequential everything he does is at this point.
I personally believe 600,000 of those 625,000 followers are bought. 600,000 minimum. If you
do have thousands and thousands of followers, where are they? How could you fall this far
from relevance, and then find it within yourself to treat other people badly? Another thing I've
noticed is, I think this man is running out of money. Now, here's the reason I say this. Selling
merchandise isn't always an indication of running out of money. Speaking of which, this Nobody Cares
hoodie is coming out soon. I actually designed this. Designing merch can just be something fun,
but I took a look at the hoodies on his website. They're just embarrassingly bland. They're clearly
just there so people can buy them and he can get money. There's no artistic thought behind
it. It's not remotely funny. Another reason that leads me to believe he's running out of
money is he follows people who donate to him. If you have to follow people for them to donate
to you, if you are following people for them to donate to you, how badly do you need donations?
Even his latest music is irrelevant. He hasn't put out an album since 2018, but I'm really
confused by how one of these songs has 87 million plays, and a lot of the other ones don't even have
150,000. There's something really weird going on with Aaron Carter's numbers, and it rhymes with,
they're all bought. I'm on his Instagram right now, and a lot of the pictures are just him in
bed, unironically. If your entire existence has devolved into lying around in bed live-streaming,
and angry tweeting, and stealing other people's work to replace the lack of artistry in your own
work, I'm glad that the entire world knows what kind of person you are right now, but I'm sad
that you had to get any shred of attention in the process. Ultimately, JoJoe is still
10 times more popular and talented than Aaron Carter will ever be, so ultimately, who cares?
