Thanks to the Internet, your life can change in a matter of months. We’ve seen a lot of Internet sensations come and go, but we’ve also seen the success of stars like Cardi B and Desus & Mero parlay social media fame into mainstream success.
Let’s not forget, Bardi went from this:
To this having multiple songs on the Billboard charts and even collabing with stars like Bruno Mars!

Hit the flip to see which stars may have the Cardi glow up in 2018 — or nah.
Kalen Allen @TheKalenAllen
Earlier this week, the Temple University senior was offered a deal for a new platform for his recipe reaction video series, “Kalen Reacts.” Once you get the attention of Ellen, your career as a viral star is on the automatic come up. Catch Kalen on his Youtube page: Kalen Allen

Even though you may not want to “Cash Her Ousside,” Bregoli has managed to turn viral ratchetness into a lucrative hip hop career. Lucrative enough have a song with Kodak Black and pay off her mom’s mortgage. Unfortunately for her, no matter how many singles she drops, we’ll always remember her as the “How Bout Dah” girl. Good luck in 2018, though.
Fatboy SSE @Fatboy_SSE
Fatboy SSE went from reckless Instagram kid to sipping Ciroc in Diddy’s office. We’ll most certainly see more from the 50 Central star this year. Talk about Black excellence.
Ryan Davis @RyanDavisComedy
Ryan Davis came to prominence in the last couple of years with his hilarious commentary and roast sessions on Youtube. Davis is moving on up in the comedy world this year and recently graced HBO’s All Def Comedy stage. We can’t wait to see what this funny guy has in store.
Southside Ju

Jyreik, a.k.a, Southside Ju has been on the grind for a minute. His natural humor and relatable skits even got Rihanna to hit that follow button. He’s also known for giving back to folks in his hometown of Philly whenever he feels the spirit. Gotta love that!
Maleni Cruz and Chicklet HF
Maleni and Chicklet are the only couple to grace the list, but despite their relationship, both individuals get the streets talking on their own. You may know the viral couple from the hilarious video that surfaced earlier this year of Cruz shouting the lyrics to Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” in HF’s face. But things are only getting bigger and better for both Internet stars.
The pair now has their own series on Tidal.The glow up is real.
