"KJ Apa's Hannah Montana-like alter ego from TikTok has made it all the way to Rockefeller Center for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a little over a week after he was seen in the audience forDancing with the Stars. He's not under contract to any broadcast network, a free bird! The superstar Mr. Fantasy joined the oldest float in the parade, the Jolly Polly Pirate Ship, to perform his titular song "Mr. Fantasy," ahead of new music coming out on November 28."
"When Apa was locked out of his TikTok account, he found a new, strange but productive way to cope by posting and promoting his music as Mr. Fantasy, where he wears a brunette f*ck ass bob wig, fake teeth, and real sunglasses. "It all starts with the music. The music helps me to get specific. Mr. Fantasy is always changing depending on which world he's entering, and the music is the pioneer. The music is the great master that pulls Mr. Fantasy into these worlds,""
