Non Threatening Boys*: Role Model, Internet Boyfriends, and Self-Awareness
Thanks to rapper-turned-singer ROLE MODEL’s (known as Tucker) recent North American tour, he’s secured at least a temporary status as the Internet’s new boyfriend – or ex-boyfriend if you’re well-versed in the lore behind Tucker’s resurgence.
Perhaps unfairly known as the man who “lost” Emma Chamberlain, Role Model has concretely established himself as the diva of the moment with performances of viral song ‘Sally, When The Wine Runs Out’ where either a fan or an A-lister to the chronically-online is brought out as the eponymous Sally.
From friend-to-the-stars Jake Shane, to the nicer version of music reviewer Anthony Fantano known as HTHAZE, and brain-rot end-game influencers Hamzah and Martin: Tucker’s well-connected and with each new Sally, he adds a tiny green flag to his collection. There’s something endearing about knowing all your favourite personalities love the same man, and makes you want to love him too.
