Revealed: ‘Changed man’ TikTok prankster Mizzy breaks his promise to judges – and is again to his previous tips performing reckless stunts

He was the attention-seeking TikTok prankster whose notorious stunts were so extreme that they landed him in prison – and eventually prompted an apology and a pledge to stop.

But incredibly ‘Mizzy‘ has broken his promises to various judges and probation officers and is back to his old tricks performing reckless stunts to be filmed by accomplices and posted on social media, the Mail can reveal.

Mizzy, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, became a national hate figure during his teens when a string of so-called pranks shared online grew him an army of over 400,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram – but condemnation from the authorities and the wider public.

Shocking clips included him walking into strangers’ houses leaving them terrified, stealing an elderly woman’s dog, pushing a pedestrian into a busy road and asking a passenger on a railway platform if he ‘wanted to die’.

After months of this behaviour he was finally jailed for 18 weeks in a young offender institution in November 2023, for twice breaking a court order blocking him from posting videos of people online without their consent.

The ban was also extended for two further years – in which time the influencer landed himself in hot water again, with a community sentence in June 2024 for snatching a woman’s phone.

Upon returning to social media after his hiatus, in November last year, Mizzy, now 20, claimed he was a changed man, with a steady job in the construction industry, a second child, born in May, and plans to marry.

But despite all this he has reverted to performing stunts for clicks -and again cruelly using innocent and unsuspecting members of the public as his stooges in the process.

In the two months since he resumed posting online, the father-of-two has created several new videos of pranks played on people who are visibly uncomfortable about or even actively endangered by his actions.

He can be seen cycling and doing wheelies in busy Lidl, Iceland and Tesco (here and here) supermarkets, veering recklessly close to shoppers, despite the desperate protests of staff.

As exasperated security guards try to usher him out in each shop, the influencer defiantly shouts, ‘I cycle wherever I want’, and, ‘Wait there? I ain’t waiting nowhere’.

Several times he can be seen barely missing hitting elderly customers and children, as he squeezes down narrow aisles, shouting, ‘riding bikes in places’ – his name for this stunt.

Even as one worker attempts to physically stop his bike, Mizzy fires back: ‘I’m not allowed? I ride bikes in places, that’s my career fam, you know the vibes.’

He repeatedly disobeys orders by staff to leave the shops, joking, ‘Round two, round two,’ in one case and trying to re-enter the store, despite the fact he has been thrown out.

As one threatens to call the police for his refusal to leave, the content creator responds with mock innocence, ‘Why? What did I do?’

Mizzy even goes as far as to taunt employees, saying, ‘Look at the security guy, let’s say hi to him’, and asking one mockingly, ‘Does the rest of the bike lane continue through here?’

The clips are clearly recent, as they see Mizzy shout to customers to stream his song Fight Night, released just days ago as part of the influencer’s recent foray into rapping.

His unruly behaviour comes despite an initial claim, upon returning to social media last year, that his future content creation would be more responsible.

‘You probably know me as that kid that was walking into random houses, f***ing just doing madness, riding bikes in places, jumping over people, stealing people’s dogs,’ he said in his comeback post.

‘But now, I’ve reformed, I’ve changed as a person.’

This new chapter, he said, would see him focus on sharing vlogs, original music, his newfound interest in boxing and the gym – and only a small amount of comedic content.

‘I’m going to be doing pranks but we’re going to dial back the pranks, we ain’t going to be doing the bad man tings [sic] but we’re still going to be entertaining for you man, we’re still going to bring funny content for you man,’ he explained.

This effort to get back on the straight and narrow appears to have begun piecemeal, with Mizzy sharing videos of vigorous workouts, family time at the soft play, and on-site work as a labourer.

He protested this in a song called Pepper Season he released in December, with the lyrics, ‘Used to prank man, now they watch my growth’, and, ‘Still thank God that I can provide’.

And the influencer has made several seemingly candid to-camera videos on serious subjects, like his mental health, quitting smoking and drinking, and the drawbacks of social media.

His promises to change were reported widely last summer, ahead of the end of his social media ban, with Mizzy telling The Star: ‘The main thing I’m motivated by is my family, especially my newborn and my first child, because I’m focused on building a better future for myself and them.

‘If I was going the way I was going, I probably would have ended up in jail for how long. Having these two young ones, I’m going to prove to myself and others I can do things the right way.’

He continued: ‘Yes, I will be returning to socials and posting videos eventually but only in a way that will prevent me from being in risk of harm and anyone else.’

But his online presence of late appears to vastly undermine this squeaky clean image he purports to now be trying to create.

The provenance of other recent prank videos shared to Mizzy’s profiles is less clear, with even fans uncertain if they are new creations or reposts of old tricks.

But regardless, the content creator is clearly still circulating the kinds of posts that landed him in court in the first place.

One clip posted just last month sees him try to enter a synagogue, alarming a guard uncertain of his purposes there.

And it is an understandable fear, given security has long been a source of anxiety for Jewish communities, with the government providing £18million of funding to bolster it each year.

A separate clip, shared in December, sees him spend the night in an Ikea store with two friends, one of whom at one point urinates behind into a watering can behind a furniture display.

The pair spend several hours running around the empty store, with Mizzy jumping across several of the made-up display beds – before he and his accomplices are all arrested.

And another video, posted in December, sees him sit on a tall fence overlooking a school sports court, shouting down at the children below, overexcited by his presence.

When Mizzy was handed his custodial sentence for sharing similar videos in November 2023, Judge Matthew Bone said: ‘Put bluntly, your pranks are not funny.’

The judge told Stratford Magistrates’ Court his stunts were motivated by a ‘desire to be famous’ and to ‘receive money and designer clothes from sponsors’.

‘Your actions caused innocent members of the public significant harm and distress,’ he added. ‘You claimed on national television the law was weak.’

The influencer was found to have ‘deliberately flouted’ a court order forbidding him from sharing videos of people without their consent ‘within hours’ of its issue in May of that year.

That same day, at 8pm, he appeared on the Piers Morgan show and criticised Britain’s justice system, saying, ‘UK laws are weak’.

Just over two hours later, at 10.15pm, he uploaded a video to X from Westfield shopping centre in east London, which featured passers-by without their permission.

Under his court order, he had also been barred from entering the mall, as well as private property like homes, schools and businesses.

In the clip posted to an account called @mizzyisbanned, he said he had just come out of court, adding: ‘I’m banned from this place [Westfield], I can’t go in here. The UK law is a joke.’

Other videos shared in breach to his Snapchat account showed him variously grabbing a schoolboy by his uniform and fighting a man with dwarfism.

Mizzy was ordered, along with his prison sentence, to pay a £154 surcharge, and not to trespass on private property or enter the E12 area of London.

After the hearing, Detective Chief Inspector Yasmin Lalani, of the Metropolitan Police’s Central East Command, said: ‘I just think it is appropriate, when you have disregard for the law, I think it is a fitting sentence and I hope that he gets some help.

‘I think it is a loud and clear message that nobody is above the law and that you have got to be held accountable.’

But this was clearly not a lesson Mizzy learnt well enough – as he was, less than a year later, spared jail after snatching a woman’s phone out of her hand as he rode past her on an e-bike.

 

The influencer, then 17, was riding a Lime bike through Highbury New Park in the Islington area of London at about 1pm on June 15, 2022, when he stole the £1,000 device.

He fled from police officers in the area who pursued him on foot and tried to dump the mobile in a bush, before he was later arrested.

The victim, Ruby Hewitt, said in a victim impact statement the theft left her feeling ‘violated’, ‘scared’ and ‘angered’.

Mizzy denied stealing the phone but was found guilty of theft in April 2024, aged 19, and appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court in June of that year, where he was handed a 12-month community order.

It saw him tasked with completing 100 hours of unpaid work and 15 days of rehabilitation activity. He also had to pay £500 in compensation to the victim.

The court heard Mizzy, who appeared in the dock dressed in a black suit with a white tie and shirt, had ‘turned his life around’ since his time in prison, which was the ‘shock to the system he needed’.

His lawyer, Keren Weekes, continued: ‘Mr O’Garro recognises the seriousness [of his offence]. He’s remorseful for his actions today. At the time of the offence Mr O’Garro was a youth.

‘Crucially, in November last year, he was sentenced to a custodial sentence.

‘He found this extremely difficult, to say the least. It was a very dark time in his life. It had a detrimental impact on his mental health.

‘It was the sharp shock to the system he needed. He has changed his life around. He’s the father of a one-year-old he adores.’

She explained he was spending time looking after his son, was back at school studying an NVQ in creative media, and was undertaking two internships at content creation companies, where he was working on an anti-knife crime video.

Sentencing, Judge Michael Oliver said: ‘You were 17 years of age when the incident took place. You are still only 19, and still a young person.

‘Despite being arrested on the day, you were not charged until March this year.

‘It seems your custodial sentence had a salutory effect on you. I read that your son was born whilst you were serving.

‘Notwithstanding the seriousness of this offence, your unattractive record, and the progress you have undoubtedly made, I am just persuaded that this case can be dealt with by a community order’.

The judge added this would ‘serve to punish you and make reparation to the community at large’.

But it seems that very same community the court was trying to protect is now again at the mercy of this controversial TikTok terror.
