Personal life.

Career.
Joseph first gained attention in 2023 when a video of him wearing a Black Panther Halloween costume went viral. He is known for his "Rizz Face", which involves squinting his eyes, raising one eyebrow, lowering the other, and pursing his lips — an expression often referred to as "mewing". The nickname "the Rizzler" originates from a combination "rizz", a Generation Z slang term meaning "charisma", and the Riddler, a character from DC Comics.
Joseph collaborates frequently with Eric Befumo, known as "Big Justice", and Eric's father, A.J. Befumo, known together as the Costco Guys, to whom Joseph is not related. On October 28, 2024, the three appeared together on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon".
On October 2, 2024, Joseph was featured in the "Crew Version" of the song "We Bring the BOOM!" The song, directed by A.J. and Big Justice, featured several people who frequently collaborated with the two. Joseph also collaborated with comedian Eric D'Alessandro on a Christmas song named "Merry Rizzmas".
In November 2024, Joseph began appearing alongside A.J. and Big Justice for the professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). On November 23 at Full Gear, he served as the special guest timekeeper for A.J.'s match with Q.T. Marshall. On March 9, 2025, at Revolution, Joseph would be in the corner of A.J., Mark Briscoe, and Orange Cassidy during their match against Johnny TV and MxM Collection (Mansoor and Mason Madden). Joseph would make his entrance dressed up like Orange Cassidy and performing the "Rizz Face" on the ramp. On April 6, Joseph threw out the ceremonial first pitch of a New York Mets baseball game.
