Fans are asking who is Glorb? after the AI rapper went viral online for his rap music videos utilizing AI-generated clips of SpongeBob SquarePants. Listeners are wondering about the mysterious musician’s identity, as he continues to gain a huge following thanks to tracks that depict macabre topics like drugs and guns instead of happy songs reflecting life in Bikini Bottom.
So who exactly is Glorb? And why are people talking about him? Here is what you need to know.
Who is Glorb the rapper?
Glorb the rapper is a YouTuber who uses AI-generated videos of Spongebob and related characters to make rap music videos addressing heavy topics like guns and drugs. This YouTuber has been reportedly active since June 2023, as the earliest video titled “Mr Swags – THE FORMULA” can be traced back to that date.
As of writing, Glorb the rapper has over 147 videos uploaded on YouTube, including both full-length music videos and shorts. Each of his videos features various Spongebob characters such as Spongebob, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and Sandy Cheeks.
When asked by MoistCr1TiKaL in a recent interview, on why he decided to make Spongebob-themed rap videos, he gave multiple answers saying that it was because he wanted to bring back something from the past, that it started as an “in-joke” between himself and his friends, and that he did it out of boredom.
Has Glorb’s identity been revealed?
Glorb has not yet outright confirmed his identity and it remains hidden as of writing. However, in his recent interview with MoistCr1TiKaL, Glorb was evasive when pressed him for answers regarding his identity. The rapper mentioned that he left breadcrumbs or clues in the lyrics of his various music videos for viewers to find and discern his identity, which MoistCr1TiKaL likened to a “scavenger hunt.”
However, people have speculated that he is U.K. or Australia-based due to several pronunciations in the video, including calling an “inside joke” an “in-joke” — phrasing not typically associated with the U.S.
A Reddit poll from five months ago had various fans speculating Glorb’s identity. One fan claimed he was connected to Yeat since he had Sanikwave’s beat on one of his songs, and another fan suggested he was Trippie Redd and pointed out the similarities in both Redd’s and Glorb’s lyrics in their respective music.
