David Dobrik is apparently Tyler's 8th cousin.
David Dobrik is a name that is synonymous with YouTube fame. The vlogger is one of the biggest social media stars in the world at the moment. So, Tyler turned heads when he revealed via a September 2019 TikTok video that the leader of the "Vlog Squad" is his eighth cousin.
"I'm literally, like, shaking right now. I found out some crazy news. My mom has been bugging me about this Ancestory.com crap and I finally did it and a month later it comes in and so I'm like flicking through all the charts," he told viewers. "You would not freaking believe who is my eight cousin!"
He continued, saying, "I'm on the chart, the Ancestory.com chart ... and guess who I find?" Tyler proceeded to show fans the names on his chart. "David Dobrik! I'm speechless, literally!"
Tyler is involved in some social media drama with Max Dressler.
Tyler and fellow TikTok star Max Dressler were involved in a bit of a feud. After Tyler "blocked" Max on social media, the two chatted via Instagram Live about their issues with one another.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the two have completely worked out their issues. In a recent TikTok video, Tyler called out some of his haters again. "All the clowns that think roasting me will stop me," the words in the video stated, with the name Max and Cody Ko popping up.
He captioned the video: "You can’t stop me I’m sorry."
