Mother of Viral Star Antwain Fowler Launches Official Fundraiser To Open Restaurant In His Honor

The GoFundMe page is aiming to raise $50,000.

To honor the late viral star Antwain “TJ” Fowler, a fundraiser launched by his mother has been established to support the launch of opening a seafood restaurant in his honor.

Fowler quickly became a viral sensation thanks to a video clip of him saying, “Where we about to eat?” was seen all throughout social media. In Nov. 2021, the young social media star died at 6. An official statement about his death revealed that he was battling an autoimmune disease, enteropathy.

His mother, Christina B., shared on Fowler’s Instagram account that she had created a GoFundMe page to raise $50,000 for the restaurant tentatively named WWB2EA, an acronym for TJ’s catchphrase.

“Those words had the world in an uproar with his reaction to finding out where are we going to eat our food as he props down in the front seat of my car lol.. starting this isn’t easy with all of the medical expenses and me and my families own personal endeavors. This is something that has to happen I’ve made a promise to do so and I’m asking for the help of the public.”

The original “Where we about to eat at?” video clip was viewed several million times with a trap remix to the phrase being created by iMarkkeyz in 2019
