HIS viral “pranks” on innocent members of the public sparked outrage and even landed him in jail.
But now, ‘TikTok idiot’ Mizzy has revealed not only that he’s turned his life around but that he is a father-of-two – and is working a surprisingly ordinary job.
The 20-year-old from Hackney, London – whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro – became infamous in 2023 for his “pranks”, which included walking into people’s houses without permission, stealing an elderly woman’s dog, asking strangers if they “want to die”, and ripping up library books.
He was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison after violating a court order banning him from filming people without consent.
Now, however, the content creator has a stark warning for wannabes who may look to his “pranks” for inspiration, admitting he’s been “working in construction this past year, keeping my head down”.
He said: “First off, I know first-hand how easy it is to get caught up in the hype of chasing views and trying to go viral on TikTok.
“But there’s a line between entertainment and recklessness, and when you cross that line it’s not just a prank anymore – it can change people’s lives forever.
“My advice to anyone coming up in the scene now is simple: think before you act, because the consequences don’t just end with likes and shares, they can end with police, court, and victims left hurt or traumatised.”
His comments follow a Sun investigation that saw grieving mums warn social media pranksters to stop risking their lives to chase likes and viral fame.
Mum Lisa Keneva tragically lost her 13-year-old son Isaac in 2022. She believes her son’s death could have been linked to a dangerous online trend called the “blackout challenge”.
Lisa was joined in her efforts by mum Ellen Roome, who also lost her son Jools, 14, to the challenge in 2022.
Their sons are just two of the more than 20 deaths worldwide that are believed to be linked to the challenge.
Shameless stunts
Earlier this month, a 16-year-old boy was sentenced for causing criminal damage and causing a public nuisance after posting a video on Snapchat that showed him throwing a 15kg footstool from a balcony at Westfield Stratford shopping centre in East London.
The footstool plunges 50ft before narrowly missing shoppers on the ground floor.
The video of the teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was filmed by a friend and captioned with “laughing” emojis, suggesting the pair had little care for the fact they came close to killing, or seriously injuring, a random member of the public.
And in the US last month an 11-year-old died after being shot multiple times playing “ding dong ditch” in Texas.

Mizzy not only earned himself television appearances, but previously bragged that he made thousands through YouTube ad revenue and social media promotions.
New focus
But since becoming a father, he insists his outlook on life has changed.
He said: “I’ve made my mistakes in the past, and I don’t regret them in the sense that they’ve taught me who I am today – but I’ve learned, grown, and moved on.
“I’m a father-of-two now, working hard and focused on building a future, not just for myself but for my kids.
“That changes everything about how you see life.
You can’t rewrite the past, but you can definitely control what happens next
Mizzy“To pranksters or creators who might be facing trouble with the courts now: don’t think it’s the end of the road.
“Use the situation to reflect, make changes, and turn things around.
“You can’t rewrite the past, but you can definitely control what happens next.”
He added that social media platforms ought to do more to help prevent such “pranks” ending in disaster.
He said: “They do crack down on certain trends, but it’s often too late by the time a dangerous one has already gone viral.
“There should be better education and clearer guidance for young people — not just taking content down, but helping creators understand why certain things cross the line.”
