Tell us a little about yourself. How did you get started making TikToks?
My name is Abdullah Tauqeer and I’m junior in high school. I started TikTok as a joke until my very first video blew up and since that day, I just start making pretty boy content. Then, that didn’t work out for me so I decided to hop onto prank ideas after my one video which I shouted in school and that video has over 2.4 million likes and over 12 million views.
Was being an internet comedian something that you've always wanted to do?
Actually, as a child I hated being on camera and even I wouldn’t take pictures of myself. But when we moved to America almost 3 years ago, I kinda start enjoying social media because I didn’t have a lot friends to play with.
Your video style is a part of a prank niche of TikTok. What made you take this direction?
One of my most viewed videos is of me saying “stfu” loud in my school and it got 12 million views. This is one of the reasons that made me do pranks because I figured out that viewers want people’s reactions.
What did your family think of the videos at first? How has heir opinion changed since you started?
At first my family didn’t take anything seriously. They thought it was a waste of time. But when I got recognized in public in front of my mom, then things got better and then she started believing in my dreams
Which video in recent history was you favorite to make and why?
Definitely the one where I tell my mom that I want to sacrifice my life for Pakistan because it was the most requested one. I had a lot of fun making that video!
Who are you choosing for a dream TikTok collab?
Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae
What is one secret talent that you have?
If I told you, it would not be a secret anymore.
How do you want people to feel when they watch you content?
I just want them to laugh and hopefully, their day gets better while watching my videos.
Any future projects for fans to get excited about?
MERCH coming out soon and big collabs are on the way!
