ian connor vs. asspizza now asspizza vs ian connor

The internet has been buzzing ever since a certain 17 year old Austin butts aka Asspizza posted a response video to curator extraordinaire Ian Connor. Now for the readers who aren't aware, this video is of great importance among each parties followers respectively and part of me is writing this for them, wether you care or not. In short i am writing this article because in every argument there are two sides to a story; the truth is usually in the middle of both and i also whole-heartedly take interest in this disussion.If you hate reading, i pity you why are you here? if you can stand it, continue on this platform as It is my intention to present the facts in the most straightforward & objective way possible.

To call this a beef feels very dated, because up until now it has primarily been a one sided battle over paid dues or rather unpaid dues. It has been almost a year now since Ian Connor's tweets defaming Asspizza went out following the upward trajectory of Asspizza; from exposure of his Asspizza face cap being worn by celebrity's like Wiz Khalifa & Makonnen to a highly anticipated rolling stones interview. now enter Ian Connor because you must be wondering how a 16 year old introverted yet stylish individual as Asspizza garnered such a following; obviously it was because of Ian Connor. I will write a whole different article about Ian Connor (if you haven't heard already) but all you need to know is that he's the 23 year old success story of asap mob & online style guru for "the youth" who follow his every tweet as life inspiration. Ian is big to who his subjective audience of teens & anyone that has followed the Ian Connor timeline will tell you that when he chooses you to be next up, you've got something special; the vision. Asspizza had the vision. 

Ian Connor was introduced to Asspizza 2 years ago in New York and after posting the picture below to Instagram, Asspizza, at 15  became an online sensation for the blogs & twitter-sphere seemingly overnight. from a reportedly 32 followers on Instagram & being unknown on twitter to a staggering 15 thousand followers on twitter in just under a month thanks in large part to Ian Connors cosign. Ian saw the vision in Asspizza and the phenomenon was born; both in personality & style Asspizza was strange but in a cool way. 

Fader interviewed Asspizza and reportedly the experience was best summarized as "I couldn't tell if he was just fucking with me" a true sentiment to the Asspizza brand; i'm sure. I have a feeling that the Asspizza you see is the Asspizza you get and my first impression was a edgy youth who could've easily been the school shooter if he hadn't met the right people in life. Asspizza's embodies a give a fuck less attitude towards life even claiming that everything is like a joke and boasting on twitter how nothing should be taken seriously; including himself. 

There are many Ian Connor fans & stans to this day that surely think to themselves why did Ian choose him? however as time went on it became clear why & how. In a span of 6 months Asspizza instinctively leveraged his online presence to become a youth icon. Propelled into internet stardom by association, Asspizza became arguably the new favorite internet kid on the block; second only to Ian Connor. But how was Asspizza receiving this.. did it all go to his head? Ian seems to think so!

Note*: In an effort to maintain objectivity i cannot validate what Asspizza was thinking, being that i'm as much a spectator as the thousands of followers were when everything happened. Trying to psychoanalyze this situation based solely off of tweets would be in one word. stupid. I am NOT a psychologist and i can only speak about what has been presented to me. Continue..

I don't know all the details of either party, Ian Connor or Asspizza, but if i were to frame this discussion in the larger global perspective, it's really just an internet quarrel. Keep that in mind because the fact that it has been such a story is laughable, if not for the fact ian connor's name carries so much weight on & offline.

Tensions between the two began after Ian cautioned asspizza over a fader interview, who then made unfavorable remarks in response. Asspizza apparently didn't pay Ian any homage for his first big look, an unforgivable act in Ian's eyes. For Ian who owes his position as an internet celeb due to people putting him on, homage is a big deal as it should be, however in his own defense asspizza correctly sighted that, the interviewer never posed questions geared towards his upcoming in social media. Finally it was the rolling stone interview that set the tone for the rest of 2014 concerning the dispute.

Everything seemed to be looking up for Asspizza & there was even tweets about an Addidas collab in the works; then it came..a fury of hate filled tweets back & forth. The comments were through the roof riddled with instigators; thus the fire of Ian Connor was ignited & Asspizza rather Austin Butts was like the cigarette burning, but it was a slow burn. 

The twitter duel was short and within a day everything that needed to be expressed had been; it was now known by each inner-circle, Ian didn't fuck with Asspizza & Asspizza didn't fuck with Ian. It was clear as crystal. Still everything in the real world & twitter world hadn't changed all that much, Ian was still tweeting emotions & continually proving the underdog can win while Asspizza remained in his own world, showing out with Influencer sporting Gucci goggles & tattoos.

Over the next few months there was no dialogue between Ian or Asspizza & finally, fed up with social media Asspizza, 16 terminated all his accounts. leaving no trace behind. Things were quiet but the air was still salty and around this time John Ross, 14 who is Ian Connor's adopted son who became relevant first modeling in Gianni Mora 2014 spring summer collection and later was taken on as Ian Connor's protege. John Ross surfaced insights about Marcel Zago  i.e. a fake designer brand headed by none other than Asspizza, several tweets in and it became john's prerogative to expose Asspizza's treacherous deeds. Asspizza responded swiftly to john with a brutal text message  that poked fun at Ian & john's sensationalized father son relationship. this is what Ian had to say: 

Asspizza disappeared again only to pop up on youtube with a few videos explaining recent events i.e. from social media. Now 17 years old asspizza recently posted an apology to Ian connor in a suprisingly matured and straightforward manner, also providing several facts that led up to the fallout with ian. this latter part of the video Asspizza proposes a challenge to fight Ian Connor in hopes of finally "settling things", Ian has yet to respond seriously even after directly tweeting to Ian. from the time i am composing this article the video will be 3 days old. it is unclear where the tide of battle will go from here however, in my opinion this is a very exciting and entertaining for the fans and should very well go down (as they say).
