Fans embarrassed for Jacob Sartorius after he brags about drug use Instagram, @jacobsartorius \/ Pexels, HarrisonJacob Sartorius is now 18 years old and appears to be in the midst of a rebrand, as fans and critics alike are growing increasingly embarrassed by his emphasis on his new love: Mary Jane. It\u2019s one thing to smoke weed, which is now legal in much of America and becoming more and more de-stigmatized due to positive qualities impacting mental wellness and physical rehabilitation. In a country touched by documented issues with prescription drugs, CBD and THC have gained mainstream acceptance as more natural alternatives. It\u2019s another thing to make toking up a full-on character trait, as evidenced by fan reactions to Sartorius\u2019s latest content on TikTok. Far from the years of movie tropes, people no longer seem enamored with weed constituting someone\u2019s entire personality. Sartorius, who rose to fame at around 13 years old due to music video content on Musical.ly before Vine and YouTube, has really leaned into the green leaf emoji on TikTok. And fans seem a little embarrassed by this, with many saying they don\u2019t find usage of the drug to be that captivating. View this post on Instagram In a TikTok shared by notorious gossip Instagram page, \u2018tiktokroom,\u2019 Sartorius can be seen joking about not smoking that much and not being high at the moment. After each statement is shown on the screen, he breaks the fourth wall and gives a mischievous side look to the camera as the background lyrics suggest those statements are lies. The song in the background is 2014\u2019s \u201cWet Dreamz\u201d by J. Cole and alludes to the rapper saying things that are untrue (or, as he puts it, \u201cfronting\u201d and \u201cstunting\u201d). But, while that song and album, \u201c2014 Forest Hills Drive,\u201d received nearly unparalleled critical and fan support for emotional honesty and craftsmanship \u2014 there has been no such reaction to the Sartorius version. In the comments on TTR, fans are seen saying things like \u201cok, we get it\u201d and leaning heavily into sarcastic applause: \u201cWell done, Jacob. We\u2019re so proud of you, let\u2019s all clap.\u201d View this post on Instagram As Sartorius grows from a 13-year-old pop star to dangling cross earrings and angsty Instagram captions, fans seem disinterested in him letting his recreational activities define his personality. A number of his other TikToks reference his new passion, including videos about preferred munchies and whatnot, but his audience has generally seemed disinterested. As people and fans have reacted by making jokes about seeming to be impressed by the star\u2019s activities, one has to wonder if he\u2019ll stop leaning into it for content as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
