Glorb
Pseudonymous creator of AI-generated SpongeBob rap music.
Glorb, who also goes by GlorbWorldwide, is an anonymous YouTuber and TikToker known for making rap songs with AI-generated voices of SpongeBob SquarePants characters. The real person behind the account has never been revealed. Their tracks have spread widely online, attracting major media coverage and reigniting conversations about the legality of AI-generated content that uses copyrighted characters.
The creator operates under a pseudonym. In an interview with Cr1TiKaL, Glorb mentioned leaving small clues about their identity in the music. They have no connection to Nickelodeon.
Glorb’s music is made with generative AI to mimic the voices of characters from the animated show SpongeBob SquarePants. The videos often show SpongeBob and his friends rapping about guns and drugs. For instance, the "Eugene" video—named after Mr. Krabs’ first name—starts with a newscaster reporting a shooting at the Chum Bucket, the restaurant run by Mr. Krabs’ rival, Plankton.
The songs and their videos build a larger story that parodies the long-running feud between Mr. Krabs and Plankton, turning them into rival rappers in a gang war who trade diss tracks. Most major characters use stage names, except for Karen.
Glorb started posting on YouTube and TikTok in June 2023. The animated video for "The Bottom 2" came out on December 6, 2023, and has been viewed over 26 million times on YouTube as of March 2026. The song has also been streamed more than 11 million times on Spotify.
Emily Forlini of PCMag noted that the images and voices are "indistinguishable" from the real show, despite the heavy use of profanity and violence.
The channel has raised copyright issues. Legal experts disagree on whether music that mimics a public figure or character is legal. The use of AI-generated content on social media has grown in recent years. K.J. Genualdo of Music Times compared it to "Heart on My Sleeve," a 2023 AI song featuring Drake and The Weeknd that was taken down by Universal Music Group. Alexandra Roberts, a law and media professor at Northeastern University, said that using copyrighted characters for profit could be legally risky, but the question remains unresolved.
