Here's everything you need to know about Quinton Griggs.
He's a Virgo
He's 16 and his birthday is on September 8, 2003.
He found out about TikTok when he was in a "dark place"
In a Q&A video, Quinton says he started making TikToks toward the end of summer 2019 after he tore his ACL while running track. "At that time, honestly, I was in a pretty dark place," he said. "I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to go out and do anything because all I knew was sports back then." Then, he said friend told him about the TikTok and they started making videos together.
He danced on a truck in his first viral TikTok
In that same Q&A video, Quinton says that his first viral TikTok was of him dancing on his truck when he didn't know the sprinklers would be on. His phone got wet but the video now has close to 900k views.
He's a Sway Boy
Former Sway Boy Josh Richards initiated Quinton into the Sway House by throwing a cake into his face while they were in Texas in May 2020. Quinton didn't look too happy about it at first. The cake got in his eye and he asked if it got in his hair. But Quinton ate some of it after, so it all worked out in the end. Now, he's moving into the Sway Gaming house with Griffin.
His hair is the best part of his TikToks
The way it weightlessly defies gravity is mesmerizing.
And he looks completely different with long hair.
He was called a "distraction" in class
When he started getting big on TikTok, it became disruptive at school. "People were like, taking videos of me in the hallway and stuff like that," Quinton told Tom Ward. Now, he takes his classes online.
He's inspired by Jaden Hossler
Quinton went from admiring a Sway Boy to becoming one himself. In his Q&A video, he talks about how the former Sway House member inspired him. He said, "I've always looked up to Jaden so it was kind of crazy," when he mentioned that he and Jaden grew up pretty close to each other.
People tell him that he looks like Jaden too
He admitted people think they look alike in the Jaden section of his Q&A, but you be the judge.
He's faced backlash on TikTok and Twitter
Quinton posted a photo of himself in a Trump 2020 hat in May 2020.
In response, people called him out on Twitter and he received some backlash.
