The Curious Case of The Kid Laroi.. 

DRINK WATER! remember: this IS speculation. Not claiming anything to be 100% fact. But, I would like to know your thoughts!

It makes me really disgusted when people can't give credit to people who helped shape them as an artist. Marcus deserves recognition 10000% and absolutely deserves compensation!

This is way too intense for no reason LOL you making me feel like we following a serial killer or some shit 😂

I feel bad for the first guy who put so much time into the kid. To not even acknowledge the guy now is so shady. You can say Marcus didn't make him blowup, but he did give him an opportunity and invested his time and everything into that kid. It's sad to not even acknowledge that.

I don't know probably 85% of the artists you talk about on this channel but your way of narration is soooo interesting and keeps me glued for hours. I've been bingeing for days and finally landed here. I feel so bad for Marcus, just being a good dude. I know one Kid Laroi song but I had no idea he was that young 😲😲 also, how come he kinda sounds American? 🤔

I feel so fucking bad for Marcus dude. Seems like a great guy.

It’s simple: we need a nardwuar interview

As someone who has been to Broken Hill and is living is Adelaide, this is super weird to see my home town in a popular video and pointing out all the places I've driven past or been to.

So I came across this channel like 6 months ago and then the algorithm started progressively feeding me more and more of your content but every time it did, it seemed like the quality was going up and up and up, and then I check the release dates, and it’s not even a linear pattern. Extremely interesting and successful grind for the algorithm to tweak my entire feed over a few months based on how I interact with this guy’s content. Good job bro

Dude imagine how duped Marcus feels that Laroi can’t even remember his name after he’s the reason laroi blew up

I'm from Australia and just wanted to clarify the part about his schooling being expensive so therefore he can't be poor. He is aboriginal and he would actually have his schooling subsidised by the Australian government which means he would still likely be poor regardless of his school. Also it is actually super common for families here to travel for hours over weekends to do things in cities. We did it a lot when I was a kid too.

Have you ever talked to a 14/15/16 y/o? Unless specifically asked about certain things, they are not providing deep details on anything. If I ask my 16 y/o to tell me his life story, or even a small chunk of time in his life, there is NO WAY he is mentioning half of what went on, and possibly what I view as important life moments would be barely memorable to him. As a single mom with an ex-husband who makes quite a bit more money than I do, I tend to believe whatever agreement the adults had included taking care of anything the kids need for their education (tuition, uniforms, sports gear, etc...) - the details of their agreement not fully known to the kids. He isn't "lying" in my opinion, he just either isn't aware of all the details of what happened (so he won't remember it objectively), or he just doesn't consider some details important. He may not be legally able to mention Marcus, or something could have happened between an adult and a child that led to a falling out that he doesn't want to discuss publicly. Saying that he's lying is ridiculous. He just isnt saying what you want him to say, for any number of reasons. I happened across this video bc I'm trying to bond with my kid through music. The mom in me had to stand up for him, because he was still what most people consider a kid when most of this stuff happened.

Dude patrick you are making certain people nervous and I love it! Keep up the great journalism!

imagine being Marcus and you just see this little kid hanging out with juice after you taught him

I feel bad for Marcus working his ass off to just be called some dude or that guy I always had this odd feeling about laroi

As an Aussie, I can tell you the radio station Triple J is a huge deal Nationally, and Triple J unearthed is a huge jump off for a career in the music industry. For reference, FLUME and Courtney Barnett were featured or won the Triple J unearthed competition.. Triple J opens doors and, in a lot of ways, controls the music scene in Australia..

Kid Laroi is aboriginal (native Australian) and there is this thing in Australia called ab studies which is a government fund for indigenous children’s education

Always been a huge fan of his, but there’s no denying his backstory is shaky. I think when you get involved with the music industry at that young of an age, some shady shit is bound to happen as you have other people making decisions for you. Dude was 14 trying to figure out music deals. Regardless he makes great music and I think he’s got a great future ahead of him

bruh "homeless" doesn't always mean living in a cardboard box on the streets. it can mean they just didnt have a home and were staying with different people.

Love theses doccument/description type videos

We love you Patrick keep making these vids man ❤️🤙🏽

It sounds like you’re about to tell us a horrifying campfire story 💀

In Australia, a lot of schools actually help pay students fees if they are in a struggling situation, I know a few people who have done this, as well he probably went their off the back of how talented he was and got a music scholarship

I think I fell asleep while you were talking... your voice is crazy soothing 😵 love the video! ✌🏻

I wish ur recent videos were at this tone & this speed, no matter what the subject was, ur videos were quite calming. Now, the pace of ur narration is much faster and sound a lot louder.

Laroi completely forgets about everyone who helped him come up not even mentioning them and claims to have a poor background but everyone just lets it slide cause they like his music. 😂 social media funny af

Next video: “The Curious Case of Patrick Cc”

"Growing up I used to be my uncle Wayne, until I saw his body laying in the grave."

i always watch your videos at work so honestly these longer videos i really appreciate 🙏makes time fly

as a producer i cant imagine what marcus was feeling after being totally cut off

That’s slightly sus that he doesn’t put on Marcus or shout him out, considering he is the guy that got him his start, maybe this Marcus guy at one point did him wrong, we just don’t know I guess🤷‍♂️ and I don’t want to get it twisted because Laroi is like my favorite artist rn, just a little weird is all!

You're a fantastic documentarian. Love your videos

Nice video! I don't know anything about it, but enjoyed listening to your methodology 🙂

Damn this a good vid

I had never heard of this kid, looked him up and he has hundreds of millions of views. Crazy how someone can mean so much to some and be no one to others! Great video bro really dig your channel

I've just started watching you and your stuff is brilliant.

Wow, that's a huge investigation, Well done, Patrick!

PatrickCIA: went crazy on this one

Indigenous students are helped with the finances of schooling, and most catholic schools allow indigenous students to educate with minimal cost. I knew of Laroi growing up in Sydney, his best mate went to my school. However, he got a Scholarship to the performing arts school and didn't have to pay. He seemed very genuine and still keeps in touch with his mates down here. He grew a buzz in our area due to the fact that Australian rappers never make it out, and we knew he was going places, his performances were unmatched at such a young age and his energy was on another level. Source for Indigenous financial help through catholic and Marist schools: "We recognise that for some families, school costs can be difficult to cover. It is our promise that no student will be refused enrolment or disadvantaged due to financial difficulties. Byallawa means ‘yarn up’ or ‘speaking together’ and in this spirit of cooperation, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to help them afford a quality, Catholic education."

Good job on the amazing video Patrick clan chat. Just subscribed to your channel, this was a lot of work you put in.

My family was very blue collar growing up, more on the lower end. But my 2 siblings and I both went to Catholic school, well I only went until 5th grade until I wanted out, but my little brother and sister both stayed. My parents weren't religious but they thought the education and morals were worth it, and we went to church on holidays and stuff but that was it. They were able to afford this by volunteering and helping around the school at events. They gave a significant discount for it. But it def paid off. When I went to public school in 6th grade I was at least 2 or 3 grades ahead. It was sweet cause I already knew everything so I could just focus on making friends. But the difference in education is unreal.

I feel like all these new artists are forced to lie to fit in the “came from the bottom” stereotype to have this sort of social approval to make rap music

The vibe you give for these videos bro this a fuckn documentary 💀

Seen 3-4 videos now. Great content😊

i like how u seem to acc care about ur topics, keep it up

Dude is basically the male Australian billie eilish. His parents parents are industry vets, knew the right people and opened the right doors for him.

personally, I don't think it counts as being an "industry plant" if you use family connections or people you know already to jumpstart a career you would have had anyway. This goes for kid laroi, billie eilish, etc. You have those connections, how are you NOT gonna use them?

dude, patrick has the sweetest smile. love how he talks about everyone on here, it’s never like shit talking or downing the person.

yooooo.....Patrick you went off on this one. Damn investigative reporting. Well done sir!

I’ve lived in Sydney my whole life and never once heard anyone refer to Sydney as the Big Smoke

I think you are somewhat ignoring the fact that most private schools in Australia have scholarships for children of single mothers - often covering about 80% of the School fees. On top of that, he has indigenous blood, meaning he would be eligible for additional government support and scholarships. Many of the schools even have quotas where they must take in a certain amount of low socio-economic students. I work in the Australian Education System and can assure you that a large proportion of the children at Private Schools in Australia would easily be classified as "poor".

Excellent journalism!!-Thank you!!

Appreciate your effort man

why r these vids so freaking scary like nothing is even happening

For everyone saying laroi is a bad person, or that he left marcus behind. this is all larois mom. she made all the decisions and he had basically no say in this. she was so clout and fame thirsty that she did whatever it took, even leaving the ppl that helped him.

Really! 👍👍👍😁👊 Rain of wisdom so pleasant to learn from you. That gut healing, lactose intolerance healing blew my mind. I wanna learn about it so much.

I love the work put in to the analysis. Almost reminds me of a crime mystery documentary.

Such a well put together video

In "Pikachu" there's a line "My mama used to sell drugs to pay for my school" I kinda like her dedication to her son's success.

Great content man!

Just subbed dope video!

All I learned is that if im going to be famous then my mama gotta clean up her facebook

In his song Winning he basically says he left Marcus, but it wasn’t really his choice

Hi, I can seriously help. Wow I know Sloane very well and how she rolls. I wondered if this day would come hearing about her son & her. Patrick your video investigation, gut, grit is very close to spot on. I can fill in the early years. Happy to chat with you. How do I connect?

Great job!

You made some good points but as an Australian, you clearly have a lot of knowledge gaps on life in Australia. 1. We’re a huge country with very little people so travelling 6 hours on a weekend is normal here 2. He’s aboriginal which means he gets subsidies from the government and all types of scholarship opportunities for private school.

Marcus should be a part of this man's everyday team. Wtf

When your mom is a talent manager and your dad is a renowned producer/ music WRITER, it would be hard to not succeed as a musician.. not saying that he had it easy, but he had access to more resources than most start ups in that genre.

Poor kid making it on his own story sounds way more amazing than a private school kid getting pushed to the mainstream by managers and parents

It sounded like Patrick was sitting in the dark

Why everyone acting like most artists don’t lie when they come up.

W little doc super interesting takes and some very unknown shit that we will probably never know so its cool to see this

Im with you Pat 😎💯🙏 This ain't no copyright! & The fact that kid laroi hasn't responded to this vid makes it funny and YES i Was drinking water 🌊

most private Christian schools have tuition waivers for low income families

hey patrick, I'm 17 from Adelaide and attend a competitor school to Sacred Heart. I never met laroi, but I have close mates who live in Glenelg who knew him personally I can definitely confirm he attended there, and I'm reasonably confident he was on a scholarship. He was bullied and had opportunities elsewhere, which would be the reason he left after just six or seven months. I also think this is the reason behind his private education when he lived in Waterloo, scholarships are quite common in Australia especially between grade 7-10. I think the strangest part of this is that Triple J is THE big dog in the Australia music industry. Despite being a producer myself, I can only name two radio stations and that's one. One of my friends has amassed 5,000+ monthly listeners on Spotify, and her biggest achievement has been placing in a Triple J contest. Moreover, in Australia, rappers don't just get a casual 100,000 views, as you claimed Laroi did with his nonstop remix. That's making it in our eyes. Loved the video, make sure to let me know if laroi shoots you a dm 😏😏

Congrats on a MILLI 🎉📈🔥💯💪

Moral of the story: don’t be a compulsive liar if your mom posts everything

lets gooo!!

honestly, u tha best. if i should start creatin content for RU-vid... ud b tha inspiration

Wow! You are on point with your story… Congrats!!! It is not the crime..it is the cover up!

Ive had a FUCKED up childhood myself. And you know what happens when the past hurts you everytime you think about it? You try to erase it from your mind. You lock it up, and everything can get a little mixed up. Good video, but don't look too much in to it please. Your past can get lost... In the past :)

1500 a year for a private school..thats dirt cheap under any standards!

Thanks for the analysis

The research u did on this one is to great

It’s kinda scary how people can look this info up and find things on you

lol mans was a private school kid and instantly forgot everyone after blowing up, sounds bout right

The Big Smoke 💨 hits differently after the Australian Fire 🔥. Which BTW looked so horrific from space also. Just seemed like every square inch was toasted. Australia seems like such a wonderful and beautiful place

The fact that our boy could carve out an hours worth of run time on any socially relevant entertainment industry related subject to focus on and at the end I'd still feel so invested I'd be upset the ride was over. So when the creator apologizes about 20-30 min being too long, I fear he hasn't yet been made aware of his brilliance or elite status among visionary artists within the current pool of jurnalists and film creators.

I'm sorry for Marcus, he seems a good dude, I'll listen to his music

“My mom used to sell drugs to pay for my school”

I remember I founing out about The Kid Laroi when he upload that music video called "Stay" to be honest and good video man :]

Bro do more aus stuff, means heaps to us all. Showing our process, how we do.

I think his dad just payed for everything lmao

"My momma used to sell drugs just to pay for my school"-PIKACHU.

Like your content man keep up with it, that’s not a map of Australia though.

Amazing!!

The Marcus story is crazy...

I think a lot of people forget that he wasn't doing things on his own like his mother was doing everything behind the scenes. And with that in mind, I think a lot of the uncertainties or calling Marcus "some guy" is because his mom probably told him to stay quiet about marcus maybe because marcus and his mom had the falling out

As an Australian I'll fill the gaps on what I think is happening. First of all Centrelink is an Australian government funded thing that will pay you if you are unable to work or are jobless, so that's how his mother put him into private school. Second government housing is a big thing in Australia so that's how he had a house. Again this is just me thinking what could have happened

Baffles me that they believe lies can go uncovered during the information era, especially when the mom's like an open book online.
