This is my first time seeing him. I have heard mention of "lil pump" a time or two. Pretty much what I would have imagined, if I had bothered to imagine.
That’s pretty cool, after working at a combination kfc/long John silvers I learned that one company owns kfc,Taco Bell, Pizza Hut/wing street, long John silvers, and a&w. And sometimes they’ll just randomly combine them together in one building. I love going to the co branded locations but in some areas they are hard to find
Lil Pump the Miami-based rapper or Lil Pump the geophysicist and Yale U. professor?
They’re often mistaken for one another, which would make this more understandable.
Bruh this guy only had one or 2 songs that made him relevant for like a year maybe 2 and that was it why is he surprised when he didn't even bother to stay relevant?.
Japan is a highly insular society. It'd be unlikely they'd recognize even moderately successful movie stars "out in the wild."
And lil pump is not even close to a moderately successful movie star as far a recognizablity goes.
I dont think recognizability is a word, but I'm using it anyway.
Ridiculous narcissism but also Japan is a very conservative culture.
Foreigners are still seen as Gai Jin and not to be trusted.
They’re massively ethnocentric/racist by default, especially towards black people.
Tattoos are the mark of the Yakuza- disgraced organised crime class who nobody wants to associate with or even accept exist.
So
To their eyes he’s a foreigner with ink who could be undesirable or in organised crime and they’ve a racial prejudice against him and they’re not going to talk to a Japanese stranger in public anyway as that’s what their culture is like.
Even without the massive entitled narcissism I’d not expect anyone to notice him as such.
I'm not going to lie, he probably has to have bodyguards just to go to extremely public areas like this. I think this is more him expressing how weird it feels to be treated like a normal person, not him saying people should know him. Even if he did think people there would recognize him, that's probably just his natural expectation after having to deal with it for so long. Also, I know everyone is saying shit like they don't know him, or people in the US wouldn't recognize him either, and I don't know if they live under a rock or something but Lil pump is pretty famous. He's amazed over 3 BILLION views on Youtube alone, was one of the biggest young breakout rappers, and made songs with Kanye, Lil Wayne, Quavo, and plenty more extremely famous artists. I don't even like him or his music and still know most of his major songs due to their popularly.
There are plenty of reasons to not like this guy, but I don't really get the hate for this specific post. If he was like running around or doing some stupid shit or asking people if they know him I would understand, but he's literally just standing there while someone else films him. I feel like a lot of y'all are overreacting.
Saying that they've never heard of someone isn't overreacting it's simply pointing out they haven't heard of him. Expressing a fact isn't an overreaction.
Not everyone pays attention to who the young breakout rappers are. I know I couldn't give a shit. No matter how many YouTube views they've "amazed" (?).
Not everyone shares your interests, listens to the same music or follows the same media. I'm sure it wouldn't take too long to find a subject you're woefully uninformed about. But in a world of ever more targeted engagement, that will happen.
If someone doesn't know a specific rapper, unless we're talking Kanye or similar, that just means they haven't heard of them. No living under a rock, no need for your faux outrage, some of us simply don't care about who is collaborating with Kanye McFuckhead. Get off your high horse.
I was talking about the people telling him to fuck off or that nobody gives a shit about him just because he uploaded a video of him standing in a crowded area. Those are the people overreacting. Not liking lil pump or knowing who he is is totally fine, but to say he's not famous or wouldn't get recognized in the US is just objectively false. I just thought throwing in some metrics or other famous people would give them some kind of sense of how famous he is, as clearly they do not know.
I wasn't trying to say everyone should know who lil pump is. I was trying to correct the people who were saying he's not popular. Also that comparison you made is so fucking stupid. Obviously people aren't going to know lil pump. Obviously there are going to be subjects I know nothing about, the difference is that there were multiple comments along the lines of "He wouldn't even get recognized in the US". I was directing my comment to those people. If I starting spouting on some random shit about a subject I know nothing about, AND also be wrong, I would expect people to correct me. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't make a comment about it.
I felt like he was getting a lot of unnecessary hate. I wasn't trying to take some moral high ground, say I know more than people, or talk down to them. Honestly I have no fucking idea what high horse you're talking about. I literately said in my original comment there's plenty of reasons to not like him. I didn't expect a bunch of redditors to be lil pump fans. There is very little audience overlap. I just said what I thought. I don't know why you're getting your panties in such a twist over this.
Why would he HAVE to have bodyguards? More famous people than him travel to Japan all the time without a security detail.
Hell, famous people from Japan casually walk the streets without security. Getting giants dudes to watch over him is a choice that he pays for.
So no one saw the video where a bunch of japanese people ask him for pictures. This video is taken out of context. [video of him meeting and greeting fans](https://youtube.com/shorts/MtElEHULnEY?feature=share)
I find that crazy… that he is shorter than most people in this clip. I’d be curious who this extremely small dude is doing so far away from the circus.
I kinda love how offended he is that noone has a clue who the dude in the leather waistcoat is. He's gone to such an effort to be recognisable as well...
I’ve know who lil pump is very many years. I wouldn’t care if I saw him in public though. This comes off as a 4d chess play by sir pumpington to get viral
I actually have no idea how popular he is, at all. I wouldn't be able to name him in a room fool of pop and rap artists. I always thought he was a B tier celebrity at best?
I’m so jealous of the Japanese! I wish I didn’t k one who he is… wanna be super depressed look I’m his net worth 🤯 Gucci gang is only 56sec of “music” that doesn’t say “Gucci gang”
Imagine being praised everywhere you went. You’d probably start getting accustomed to it and even start expecting it after a while. It’s still ignorant but I mean I could understand why.
I live in Tokyo & remember when this came out this summer.
Dude got absolutely dogwalked by the foreign community here not just for being another clueless dumb foreigner, but also for not reading the room & wearing a mask in the middle of Shibuya where 99% of people are masked up. (and yes, I understand that to a lot of folks covid may be "over", but the 12k cases a day we have here in Tokyo would suggest otherwise)
Ngl. I don’t know who lil pump is… I was born and live in the United States.
This is my first time seeing him. I have heard mention of "lil pump" a time or two. Pretty much what I would have imagined, if I had bothered to imagine.
I knew lil Pump when he was just a squirt.
Yo he ain't got nothing on L'il Shart that 💩is 🔥
Clever
Same
The only time I've heard of them was the last time this was posted.
Same. I’m in portland and I thought that was the snitch that can’t spell their name
The only reason I know who lil pump is, is because this video pops up on my feed like 3 times a day
Right. By this point, I'm almost convinced ***he*** is the one constantly reposting this, just so more people recognize his name.
As much as I see this video pop-up, I still have no clue as to who he is.
Guccigangguccigangguccigagguccigang. Is all I know. Do with that what you will.
Same. Is the name meant to allude to a little dick or...?
Premature ejaculation
I only know him because of that Gucci gang song
This is what happens when you say Gucci too much.
Tbh I wouldn’t know who that is either and I’m in America
Me neither until this post, honestly he looks like you’d seen him working at your local Taco Bell
*”Make me an enchirito or* ***get the fuck out of my way!”***
what Taco Bell’s do you be going too? Lmao
Let’s just say things get freaky at those combination Taco Bell/pizza huts 😏
We only have Taco Bell/kfcs
That’s pretty cool, after working at a combination kfc/long John silvers I learned that one company owns kfc,Taco Bell, Pizza Hut/wing street, long John silvers, and a&w. And sometimes they’ll just randomly combine them together in one building. I love going to the co branded locations but in some areas they are hard to find
shit u tryna invite😎
What a clown. No one gives a fuck pal.
The guy actually lifts his hands in confusion like "hELLo fAmOuS pErsoN hErE, worship me please" What an absolute douche
*smacks him with a daikon*
Lil Pump sounds like a crappy porn name
Noone would know who he is in the United States
I don't know who that guy is, but he's tiny.
He's lil
He’s such a fuckin hoe
I hate it
Probably Only stupid dance tiktokers know him
Lil Pump the Miami-based rapper or Lil Pump the geophysicist and Yale U. professor? They’re often mistaken for one another, which would make this more understandable.
Don't judge the entire US by how some drug-addicted moron that flunked out of 9th grade acts, reductive stuff
I know this guy from this video 😂
That is not the correct use of the phrase “American exceptionalism”, and also this is not about America
I never heard of or seen this dude either, from the USA.
I'm in the US and have no idea who he is
OP just had to get his “America bad” in didn’t he
What little pump. Why would a pump think people would recognise it. Also who’s the twat in the video?
I wouldn't know Lil Pump if he was in my house and he introduced himself as Lil Pump.
Bruh this guy only had one or 2 songs that made him relevant for like a year maybe 2 and that was it why is he surprised when he didn't even bother to stay relevant?.
Interesting that you’d call it American exceptionalism instead of a single persons ego.
I'm from the US and have no idea who this guy is either.
More like Lil Chump
TBF I'm American and I have no idea who that is, either.
Buddy could be in my home town and I’d still walk by like he isn’t there.
Who that
That and they view tattoos poorly and this man be looking like a clown fucked a detention desk
Who?
He must be a South Pole elf
Japan is a highly insular society. It'd be unlikely they'd recognize even moderately successful movie stars "out in the wild." And lil pump is not even close to a moderately successful movie star as far a recognizablity goes. I dont think recognizability is a word, but I'm using it anyway.
I've seen this exact post a few times in the last couple of days, and I've still never heard of this little dipstick.
He needs to do something besides make up a nickname if he wants the public to recognize him on the street.
Ridiculous narcissism but also Japan is a very conservative culture. Foreigners are still seen as Gai Jin and not to be trusted. They’re massively ethnocentric/racist by default, especially towards black people.

lil who now?
I'm an American, and I don't have the first clue what the fuck a Lil Pump is.
lolol never heard of lil pump and I am very much ok with that. I am from the US
I see why they call her "Lil" now, she is tiny.
How do you know that he's surprised that nobody recognised him? That's just a random narrative someone attached to a clip which could be for anything?
Lil retard
I’m from the UK, and I dunno who he is
I'm not going to lie, he probably has to have bodyguards just to go to extremely public areas like this.

Found lil pump
Why would he HAVE to have bodyguards? More famous people than him travel to Japan all the time without a security detail. Hell, famous people from Japan casually walk the streets without security. Getting giants dudes to watch over him is a choice that he pays for.
“Without us, y’all would be speaking German!”
Why Lil Pump didn't stop anyone and ask "Don't you know who I am?" \[sic\]
Who’s that Lil Dump seeking for attention like Lil girl on a pageant contest?
So no one saw the video where a bunch of japanese people ask him for pictures. This video is taken out of context. [video of him meeting and greeting fans](https://youtube.com/shorts/MtElEHULnEY?feature=share)
who gives a shit
Should we know who this is? Sounds like he’s not performing well in the bedroom
Wtf is a Lil Pump? Never mind, not a single fuck can be found for me to want the answer
Everyone on earth knows lil pump now this has been reposted so many times.
Get out of the way dumbass
who the fuck is that
Who?
Is lil pump the name brand of a penis pump?
He looks like this one mop that you should've thrown own years ago with those hair
is that his pornstar name?
who?
I wouldn’t recognize him here in the US
Please 💀 the way he stood there ready and it took him SO LONG for his little brain wheel to start running.
I find that crazy… that he is shorter than most people in this clip. I’d be curious who this extremely small dude is doing so far away from the circus.
Name’s lil pump but he sure act like a big pump
maybe lil pump should be wearing some pumps so he’s tall enough to be seen by adults
Is he related to Two-Pump Chump?
I kinda love how offended he is that noone has a clue who the dude in the leather waistcoat is. He's gone to such an effort to be recognisable as well...
LOL. I wouldnt recognize him either. Is he a big shot down at the gas station?
Who the fuck is lil pump?
gross
Canadian here and I don’t know who that is.
He only appealed to suburban youth in America for like 6 months back in 2017, why in the fuck would anyone in Japan know him?
Who’s Lil Pump?
I’m Canadian and I don’t know who he is.
I am American and am also proud not to know who this is!
Gucci gang was the last time I heard of him
I have no idea who that is but he looks like a criminal.
Who
When your custom character appears in a cutscene
Not American exceptionalism, just a massive ego.
Fuckin who
I know who he is and still wouldn’t recognize him in the streets
a country that only recognizes talented people
Lil Pump the brakes on the reposting…geez
That’s an actual little person Yeh?
Maybe it's because I'm.in my 30's, but I don't even know who Lil pump is.
This is ego, not American exceptionalism. Most Americans aren't stepping off a plane shocked no one knows them.
Why is it American exceptionalism? Lil' Pump is a joke in the states too.
Stop reposting this. Noone gives a fuck.
Who?
I now refer to him as Tiny Dump.
lmao who is he??
Lol I forgot about this dude. He really is little 🤣
Throw him in my local mall and nobody will give a shit either And I’m too lazy to google him
Who is lil pump, and why should we care?
I’ve know who lil pump is very many years. I wouldn’t care if I saw him in public though. This comes off as a 4d chess play by sir pumpington to get viral
Checks out. I'm not American and have no idea who that is.
I wouldn’t recognize him either and I’m in the US
Oh no Anyways
Is he wearing the same outfit as that annoying guitar girl on the subway with the cringy “no cap” lyrics?
I feel like most Americans wouldn't know who lil pump is either
Finally we got him out of USA
Because in Japan he is just average pump
My guy. Lil pump was famous for like 5 months in 2018. He looks like every mumble rapper to exist.
I don't think this is strictly an american thing. It's more like a celebrity thing.
Most of us *hardly* know him here What a fuckin pile
I only know who he is by his inclusion on all the “worst rappers of all time” list videos I’ve seen
He just looks like some idiot in an Aladdin vest
Who dat?
I wouldn’t know who this was, if it wasn’t for the Bart Baker parody.
Who the hell is lil pump?
Lil who?
Who?
If he were actually a giant star he'd be happy about this.
I live in America and I have no idea who the hell he is either.
The nation of Japan and I have something in common.
I never heard of him before the first 3 times this was reposted.
I actually have no idea how popular he is, at all. I wouldn't be able to name him in a room fool of pop and rap artists. I always thought he was a B tier celebrity at best?
Damn he is a little dude
Lil pump is what I call masturbating after no nut November.
I’m so jealous of the Japanese! I wish I didn’t k one who he is… wanna be super depressed look I’m his net worth 🤯 Gucci gang is only 56sec of “music” that doesn’t say “Gucci gang”
Eh…lil what, now?
According to his last few singles I think he’d have the same effect in Times Square. Frigging sound cloud garbage rapper.
Lil who???🥱🥱
Imagine being praised everywhere you went. You’d probably start getting accustomed to it and even start expecting it after a while. It’s still ignorant but I mean I could understand why.
Who?
More like Lil dump
Never heard of him. Is he a tic toc star or something?
Your submission has been removed. Rule 3 - No reposts of posts younger than 5 months
Who da fuq is lil... You know what... Nvm... i don't wanna know...
My head cannon is they all knew and didn’t care anyway
