RiceGum (Bryan Le) was born on November 19th, 1996. He is a YouTube star, having begun in September of 2012. His first postings were as a gamer in which he primarily posted Call of Duty content.

On YouTube he has nearly 5 million subscribers and his videos have gotten nearly 400 million views. In only four months, he went from 300k to 2.5 million which is the fastest growth in the history of YouTube. His comedy diss tracks and roasts are particularly popular. That’s not to say he hasn’t had a few issues along the way – including getting his YouTube account deleted at one point.

Nothing is really known about RiceGum as he hasn’t shared information about his childhood or his family.

Facts

The personal and family life of RiceGum appears to be a closely guarded secret. However, one source notes that he grew up in Law Vegas with his Vietnamese parents and shares that he has both an older and younger brother.
