Meet Jonathan: 19 years old, creative dreamer who posted one freestyle video hoping to share his art with the world đŸŽ”. Instead, he went viral for all the wrong reasons. 20,000 views. Thousands of comments tearing him apart. His friends turned it into a roast session. His dad called it embarrassing.
