7-Year-Old Becomes Internet Sensation After His Comments On Corn Go Viral

Meet Tariq, the 7-year-old whose comments about corn are being heard worldwide.

Tariq went viral last month after his deep love of corn was shared during an interview with @RecessTherapy

"It's a big lump with knobs. It has the juice," Tariq said during the interview. "I can't imagine a more beautiful thing."

His comments became so popular that musical quartet The Gregory Brothers turned the interview into a song that has racked up nearly 64 million views. TikTok users have shared more than 665,000 videos using the music on the platform. Hear the song HERE

(Warning: the song is VERY catchy)

As a result of his fame, Tariq was just honored with the title of South Dakota's official ''corn-ambassador.'

He seems to be loving his new fame almost as much as he loves corn with butter!
