Baron
If you ask a teenager in Stuttgart who should be the next mayor of the city, you might just get the name Baron in response. The young rapper and smart TikTok rioter, whose real name is Aron Bullinger, also dances in the video for Ski Aggu’s hit »Friesenjung« and has already shared the stage with Dresden’s 01099, but his heart beats for his hometown of Stuttgart.
When Baron’s mate Ski Aggu – the two know each other from their TikTok beginnings – announced that he wanted to become German Chancellor, Baron asked him if he would have his support if he wanted to become mayor. It was a running gag that brought Baron many potential voters, at least on TikTok. This is also where he gained his first fans – and now has over four million views. »I only wanted to release something when I knew that a track was really good. And when I already have an audience. So I thought to myself: you can do everything yourself via TikTok.
you can do everything yourself.«
Baron was up for it, wanted to reach people and knew that the best way to do that was with polarising videos. So he tucked himself into a McDonald’s staff room with the camera rolling, went on a sprint on a Stuttgart tram and wiggled his way onto the side of UK rapper Central Cee at a red carpet event.
