    The viral influencer kicked off her TikTok journey in early 2020, and her lip-sync videos and mini vlogs gained thousands of views shortly after. Her expressive stance as a transgender woman and plus-size model attracted quite an audience.

    Rise to Fame

    The meme “Gorlock The Destroyer” started gaining popularity after Lopez and other guests featured in “Gorlock The Destroyer! RAGEQUIT KEEKO vs. CHASE! Round 2! FIGHT! | Dating Talk #69” on the Whatever podcast in April 2023.

    During her appearance on the show, Lopez made a strong impression by giving herself a perfect “ten out of ten” rating and declaring her occupation as “being a badass.”

    After catching the latest episode, on April 26, 2023, X user @RichardRatBoy1 tweeted, “Been enjoying this podcast. Great takes from: -Ashley -Rachel -Gorlock the Destroyer-Tiffany”. The tweet went viral, with over 11,000 retweets and 150,000 likes in its first week alone.

    While Gorlock’s rise to fame hasn’t been for the kindest reasons, the viral podcast episode has undoubtedly skyrocketed Lopez’s social media accounts, with over 500,000 followers on TikTok and over 150,000 followers on Instagram and counting.

    Lopez addressed her nickname on November 10, 2023, saying in a TikTok video by @onenightwithsteiny, “I think what just annoys me is people calling you that fucking Gorlock bull****.”

    Not everyone was so critical, however. X user @AyCartiii defended Lopez with a tweet saying, “Calling someone Gorlock the Destroyer is INSANE!!!”

    Notable Collaborations

    Lopez’s popularity has led to exciting opportunities to work with various brands and fellow TikTok creators.

    One notable collaboration was with Kick platform ambassador Adin Ross, who appeared together with Lopez on a live stream on his channel in May 2023. The video has since been removed “for violating YouTube’s policies.”

    She was subjected to abuse on the stream by Adin’s friend N3on, who referred to Lopez as a “f****g hippo” and openly questioned her, saying, “How do you not k*** yourself?”

    Interestingly, this wasn’t the final showdown between the two internet celebs. Another notable interaction featuring Lopez and N3on took place on October 9, 2023.

    This time, she appeared on Adin’s Livestream, where N3eon and Ross arranged a blind date for Garlock The Destroyer with 20 guys.
