Origin
On September 15th, 2023, The Rizzler's dad, TikToker[1] @itztherizzler, posted a video of The Rizzler crying in a Walmart store. In the video, The Rizzler says to his dad, "Please tell me where mommy is." His dad jokingly responds, "She's gone, she's left," as The Rizzler wanders around a little, looking for her. He asks again and his dad claims he doesn't know where she went. His dad says, "Don't cry, dry your eye." The Rizzler's dad then says he'll tell him where his mom is if he walks through the women's underwear section of the store.
