Tik Tok has been responsible for producing some of the biggest stars in the industry in the past recent years. From Charli D’Amelio to Addison Rae, young influencers are taking over the media, dancing their way to the bank, and becoming millionaires. These individuals have gone from normal teenagers to beloved stars in the matter of a year. However, Tik Tok’s production of stars has not ceased quite yet. Vincent Gigante, an 18-year-old from Hoboken, New Jersey, is an up-and-coming social media influencer who has been rapidly climbing the ladder to fame at an unprecedented rate.
Known for being the “hilarious Italian boyfriend” of his girlfriend and fellow influencer, Samantha Kelly, Vincent Gigante encapsulates the epitome of the traditional New-Jersey-Italian-American that people around the world are fascinated by and in adoration of. This fascination of New-Jersey-Italian-Americans is not a new one: the famous American reality television series that ran from 2009 to 2012, Jersey Shore, also encapsulated this same energy. Fans around the world obsessed over these “Guido/Guidettes”, including famous Snooki and Pauly D. Just when we thought we’ve seen the last of this Italian-American energy, Vincent Gigante rose to fame in February of 2021, providing the world with a refreshing touch of vulgarness and sarcasm.
