Career

Heavily associated with far-right politics, Jantz has performed alongside members of the Proud Boys,[8] Roger Stone,[9] and U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz,[10] the latter being praised by Jantz as the "chosen one" in a music video.[11] A resident of Florida, Jantz was previously a supporter of Governor Ron DeSantis and had a mural of the governor on his trailer, but distanced himself from DeSantis ahead of the 2024 United States presidential election and endorsed Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.[12][13]

Jantz released the homophobic and transphobic song "Fock Bud Light" in April 2023, during the boycott in response to Bud Light's collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney, which was subsequently viewed by U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.[14]
