1Biggs Don was discovered two months ago via a street freestyle on the OTP Control channel, which has now surpassed 1 million views following the “Bwoi Affi” trend on social media.
In the music video 1Biggs Don celebrates with his clique in the streets of Jamaica.
Since the original TikTok video became popular, the Heart Academy student has been performing at stage shows across the island.
American TikToker Andrew Tate came under fire for comments he made about a Jamaican viral sensation Biggz Don.
The British-American kickboxer, commentator and businessman pointed to the fact that in Biggz’ freestyle all the things he was deejaying about were not part of his present image.
“Biggz Don, the first word he says is ‘Rolex pon mi wrist is a bust down’, which means it’s iced out, he’s put diamonds all over his Rolex, but he is not wearing a watch, he just says it,” he said.
He further stated, “Then If you watch the end of the video closely he’s wearing the most dusty flip flops, they don’t even fit.”

Social media reacted to his comments by saying Tate is being mean-spirited and hateful, “Man leggo yf, how Andrew tate know the man”, another person said, “Lmaoooooo this is one of the most hateful duo on my fyp dawg.”
Another person pointed out the difference in cultural currency, between Tate’s analysis and what Biggz may actually be singing about.
It’s no surprise that the ‘Biggz Don video’, would be on the radar of the millionaire Andrew Tate who is know for his “Alpha male” misogynistic comments and flashy lifestyle. Biggs’ original freestyle racked up over 4.2 million plays within days along with thousand of videos. It is one of the most popular music related videos to be made by a Jamaican on TikTok.

As TikTok becomes more popular in Jamaica and more creators turn to the platform, on Monday they announced that they will start letting some popular accounts charge a subscription fee for live streams.
Instagram and Facebook already have such a tool for popular users, as the platforms ramp up competition to personalities that attract audiences.
Elsewhere on the chart in Jamaica on YouTube, Static by Alkaline at No. 5, Bounce by Ding Dong at No. 4, Blessing me by Mura Masa, Pa Salieu and Skillibeng at No. 3.
