Is TikTok a real career, or just being publicly cringe for a living?

⚠️ WARNING: Excessive Yapping Ahead! ⚠️ 3 TikTokers Walk into a Podcast… Chaos Ensues 🎙️

Is a TikTok career just being publicly cringe for a living? Are they viral geniuses, or straight-up delusional? 🤪

Three beautiful TikTok stars Zainab Jiwa (@zeewhatidid), Lyric Mariah Heard (@phenixsoul), and Katie Kennedy (@thehistorygossip) joined Cosmopolitan UK for an Up Close chat on all things internet & being chronically online.

They spilled ALL the tea: debating their relevance, fame, trolls, and viral trends that need to RIP already 🪦

From roasting the internet (and themselves) to oversharing in the best way possible, these brilliantly unique creators break down their individual journeys to going viral, dealing with hate, and navigating influencer life.

The big question: is TikTok success potluck, or is there a secret formula?
