Rise to Fame

Bad Kid Mykel’s mentor, Funny Mike, whose real name is MacArthur Johnson, garnered initial fame as a Vine and YouTube-based comedian. He later began his career as a hip-hop artist. Parodying the infamous Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, he adopted a new professional name, 22 Savage. He subsequently released several tracks, including ‘No Heart’ and ‘Jumpin’. In December 2016, he put out his mixtape ‘Savage Mode’, which was named after 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s extended play of the same name. In February 2017, he changed his professional name to Young 22 to bring a degree of legitimacy to his career. At some point, he changed it back to Funny Mike.

Mike created his FunnyMike channel on May 1, 2016, and posted his first video on August 28, 2017. The boys from ‘Tha Bad Kids’ started making appearances in his videos soon after. Besides Bad Kid Mykel, the group currently is comprised of Badkid Jay, Badkid Tray, Dede3x, Badkid Mark Jr, Badkid Woo, Badkid Bam, Badkid Kam, and Badkid Mirah.
