Daniel Robert Larson (born November 15, 1998), is a 26-year-old mentally ill internet personality and convicted criminal who claims to be a singer-songwriter, celebrity, fashion model, and President of the United States. In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and erratic behavior. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility which led to delusions, meltdowns, and eventually invervention by law enforcement. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy. As of 2025, Daniel is confirmed to have autism, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia. He also claims to be engaged to former America's Got Talent star, Grace VanderWaal, despite having never met her in person.
After Joshua and Quinn met Daniel in May 2023, Daniel mostly fell out of relevance in the lore, though he still maintains his own following despite being institutionalized for nearly a year.
Early Interactions
In May 2021, before Daniel and Josh ever met in person, Josh announced that he would sign a record deal with "Daniel Larson Records," and collaborate with him to make a new song, however Josh canceled the deal shortly after he discovered Daniel's past.
Josh warned viewers to avoid Daniel at all costs and that he needed to be canceled. It is unknown how Josh was made aware of Daniel Larson, however it is likely that trolls reached out to him and claimed to be part of "Daniel Larson Records."
In May 2021, Daniel posted a TikTok in which he responded to a viral video of Josh screaming the lyrics to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. In his post, Daniel says, "This message is to World of T-Shirts. In New Yorrrk!" On January 3, 2023 Daniel posted another video in which he says, "This message goes out to Joshua, World of T-shirts. You need to go back to selling t-shirts because you are not ready for this industry."
Daniel in New York
Upon hearing news of Daniel’s plans to travel to New York City, fans and Michael Quinn wanted to see a meet-up between the two figures. On Reddit and TikTok, many people attempted to convince Daniel to find Josh and fight him. While it seemed neither were interested, Michael Quinn and both of their fan groups certainly were. The consensus was that even if this did happen it is likely that Daniel would back out, to the disappointment of many.
Later on, 'fans' would continually harass Daniel about doing a collaboration with World of T-Shirts. Many fighting with him, or taunting him by claiming that Josh was on his way to his current location, as well as a plethora of other creative ways to try to get under Daniel's skin.
After Daniel arrived in New York City, trolls attempted to arrange an 'accidental' meet-up between Daniel and Joshua. Daniel was sent to multiple locations that Joshua frequented, being under the impression that Grace VanderWaal would be at these locations. Josh expressed multiple times on TikTok that he does not wish to meet Daniel, and even had to leave establishments after Daniel was likely to show up at.
After the Daniel had an incident in Little India Bodega, Josh posted a TikTok in front of the bodega, announcing that Daniel Larson got punched in the nose at the Bodega, and that he, World of T-Shirts, runs New York City.
The Meetup
On May 10, 2023 after Michael Quinn and Daniel had met two days prior, Quinn got Daniel and Josh to finally meet. Caught on film, as Daniel walked through the doors of the Starbucks at the World Financial Center in downtown New York. Daniel is visibly smiling in the video. The tension of the moment quickly faded as the two shook hands despite all the online arguments, Joshua then recorded his well known rendition of "Empire State of Mind" with Daniel in the background gleefully waving to the camera. The two discussed Josh's drinking problems, and Daniel's experiences along the west coast on a TikTok livestream.
Cameo Feud
Around May 29, after creating a Cameo, Josh got an order in which a Daniel Larson fan paid to have him say that he was dating Grace Vanderwaal. Mistakenly however, Josh said that he was doing Grace instead. In what appears to be Daniel's response, posted around the same time, he announced that both World Of T-Shirts and Michael Quinn are banned from all of his concerts.
Continuation
Daniel claimed Josh and Michael Quinn were creating "beef" with him on July 25, 2023. A day earlier, he wanted Josh to be sent to North Korea. On August 5, Daniel claimed that "Rorld" of T-Shirts' penis fell off after he went skinny dipping in the Hudson River. On October 8, Daniel said "Fuck you, Michael Quinn!" and called out Michael Quinn's alleged control over Josh, emphasizing his alcoholism.
Josh was aware of Daniel's probation in November 2023. On December 20th 2023, Joshua and Michael Quinn would do a sit down interview with BowereyBoi. When Daniel Larson was brought up, Joshua said that Daniel was nothing but trouble and when asked to describe Daniel, Josh would say "BAD."
On December 28th 2023, in a YouTube community post, Daniel once again blamed Michael Quinn for Josh's alcoholism and says Quinn harrasses him (which many of his fans would probably agree with.) On April 23, Daniel would state that Josh's "charges" needed to be lifted and Michael Quinn to be "charged" by the "court's".
