Considering just how popular Jim Kardashian has become with social media users, it may come as a surprise to many that Frankie LaPenna doesn’t remember the backstory to his backside. In fact, as he’s revealed in interviews with both “The FilmUp Podcast” and “98 Rock Baltimore,” he can’t even remember why or when he decided to create videos of the character surrounded by protection officers. Said officers have since been dubbed the character’s “Booty guards.”
That said, even if LaPenna can’t quite narrow down a specific moment he felt he needed to share the character with the world, there’s no denying that Kim Kardashian was his inspiration. As he joked, “I’m like the lost Kardashian, Jim … I’m like a disowned brother, disowned, just walking around, caked up.” He also quipped that he hoped Kim had come across his content at some point. “I lay awake at night, wondering if she has seen, like, one or two of the videos,” he mused.

It only makes sense, then, that given the opportunity, he’d be more than open to creating content with the reality star. As for what that might entail, he shared that there would definitely need to be some kind of show-down. In light of the fact that LaPenna is one of the most-watched non-celebrity TikTok creators of all time – and Kim’s own penchant for comedy, post-“SNL” – we wouldn’t rule out the possibility of that happening.
