A photograph of a flyer to the so-called TikTok Rizz party which was allegedly held on Thursday, May 18, 2023, is going viral, leaving netizens wondering if it was a legitimate event. The flyer pointed out that the party was open to anyone over the age of 18 and would be held at Crave Restaurant and Bar located at 2001 East Fowler Avenue in Tampa, Florida.
According to Urban Dictionary, rizz is a shortened slang term for charisma, used to describe the quality of being charming. If someone has rizz, it means they are charming and a smooth talker, especially while flirting.
However, on closer inspection, several details in the flyer seemed suspicious, raising concerns. It indicated that rapper Lil Durk would be performing at the party but the musician never advertised performing at the event. Many wondered if the coordinator set it up to draw in a larger crowd at their event.
The rizz party was not sponsored by TikTok, as believed by many, but by a company called Token. Many speculated whether the poster intended to market that the event would play TikTok-famous songs.
Additionally, Crave Restaurant and Bar, which has hosted several such events in the past, has not promoted any event named TikTok rizz party on its social media pages. This led many to believe that no such event took place and the flyer was shared just to gain traction.
