Famous host Maxx Chewing, known for his popular podcast, Don’t Be Sour, in a recent interview with CBum, sparked discussions when he made a comparison between Bumstead’s popularity with that of the Kardashians. On his podcast, Chewing discussed the similarity between the two stars, emphasizing how Bumstead, like the Kardashians, has an appeal across social media. “I think if you get over a million likes on Instagram, you are Kardashian-level,” he told CBum. 

But Bumstead responded with his characteristic humility, stating that he does not experience the same level of recognition as the Kardashians when he goes about his daily life. “I am definitely not Kardashian-level”, he replied. Bumstead remains grounded and down-to-earth, stating that he goes unrecognized at the grocery store, unlike the Kardashian clan. “I will go to most grocery stores, and no one knows who the f*** I am. And real celebrities like the Kardashian can’t even leave their house,” Cbum added.
