Filthy Frank a.k.a Joji is not saying the truth.

[Zeno]

As a teenager, I watched " Filthy Frank " on YouTube. The guy was always the extreme and funny due to doing what most people would not do or say what most would not say. He was in this character for quite a long time.

Nowadays he is known as Joji, appears as a soft, well spoken guy that women like, makes music and claims this character was never him the slightest, he always disliked the character and it made him depressed and what not.

I call bullshi.... If you do videos like this on YT for this long, you must have some sort of liking for the character you play, for the humour you present and certainly some sort of allegiance with the message you deliver in a humorous way. I strongly doubt this guy is not like this anymore today at all.

Perhaps not in front of the camera as the now likes to earn his money with a more " serious job " as an artist. But I am pretty sure he would still make filthy frank videos with his mates, if it would not ruin his reputation with all the 15-18 years old girls desperately running after him and his music.

What is your take on that ? Not that it matters... I don't watch filthy frank anymore nor do I care about his music. It just came to my mind after reading it somewhere and I thought that there was quite an apparent character change, perhaps only to alter his public image of " racist, homophobe, anti-everything, women hating character of filthy frank " into the opposite in order to survive and not get cancelled rather than because he truly wanted to change his artistic path.

He's just a dude who started off making one type of content and then got sick of it, so he started doing something different.

I don't watch filthy frank anymore because he's now a successful music artist drowning in ♥♥♥♥♥ who finally got over with his edgy attention seeking vlogger persona, I can not relate to him any more

His comedy was better than his music will ever be.

Then why not say so and now act like he is a church boy ?

It was he decision to quit and follow his dreams. Can't blame him.

Can't really tell, it's in his head and only he knows the truth.

No one wants to blame him, I just dislike the excuses he makes and how actively he tries to distance himself from what he previously did and who he was and probably still is.

Meh. 99 44/100% of YouTubers say nonsense for clicks. If they don't say outrageous things, no one will click.

he used filthy frank to boost his music career and it worked.

to get noticed in the music industry you either need a lot of luck or to pull a stunt like the filthy frank character to gain a following, then when you turn to your music you already have an established following so you don't need to go through all the hurdles of gaining followers with music alone which is difficult.

I doubt the filthy frank character was initially created with the intention to go into music business lol

Filthy frank is more of a character that ruins your future than anything.

controversy is the best way to gain notability.

Joji wasn't getting any attention with his music so he decided to do the Filthy Frank character and began incorporating his music into it with Pink Guy, He always wanted to do music but ended up being only known for Filthy Frank, makes sense to me he went back to what he initially wanted to do after he gained a following with his controversial comedy act.

Then why creating the most disgusting, nasty, racist stuff if he could also do a tadd smother type of comedy to fortify his existence.

This is called deception. He deceived his followers to gain popularity.
