British TikToker Says Backlash Over His ‘Walking Into Random Houses’ Prank Is Due To Him Being A Black Man

The situation unfolded after Mizzy shared a video to his now-deleted TikTok account, which showed him straight-up walking through a stranger’s front door, which had been left open.

This startles a woman on the patio, who then proceeds to call a man over. However, the teens are undeterred, and Mizzy innocently asks, “Is this where the study group is?” He then briefly plopped down on a couch in an adjacent room before being shooed out shortly thereafter.

Once the video began circulating online, various people started to chime in and slam the matter.

Welsh politician Alex Davies-Jones called the content “disturbing and upsetting.” She even urged authorities to take action against Mizzy’s “completely abhorrent behavior.”

The @metpoliceuk need to take action & hold this individual to account for his completely abhorrent behaviour.

But the platforms who allow this content to be amplified for increased engagement & ad revenue also need to be held responsible for promoting & encouraging this.

In response to the controversy, Mizzy shared his side of the matter during an interview with The Independent.

After acknowledging some people’s issues with his content, Mizzy noted that “the fact that people are talking” about him is what’s “important.”

Upon saying that he apologized to the family off-camera after the video, he said he felt “sympathy and remorse” and “wouldn’t do that again.”

“It could have been the best or worst decision of my life.”

However, he nonetheless proclaimed that controversy “is the best way to blow up.”

“Controversy, even though it’s not good, is the best way to blow up on social media.”

Mizzy added that “people are trying to slander [him]” because of his race.

“I’m a Black male doing these things, and that’s why there’s such an uproar on the internet.”

While on the subject of Mizzy’s controversy, we should add that the Metropolitan Police noted they had launched an investigation into the matter on Monday.

“Attempts are currently being made by officers from the Central East Command Unit to locate the man so that he can be dealt with for a suspected breach of a Community Protection Notice issued last May.”

Officers are carrying out enquiries to trace a man after a video showing individuals entering a private residence was posted on social media.
