The man behind one of the internet’s most talked‑about haircuts has finally broken his silence.

Footage of the so‑called “Ibiza Final Boss”—a mysterious dancer with a very peculiar bob cut—has been dominating TikTok feeds since it was first posted on August 3 by San Antonio ticketing company Zero Six West Ibiza.

Clad in a black vest, gold chain, sunglasses and an LV crossbody bag, the man was filmed confidently moving to the music, dominating the scene with a pink cup in hand, as the Ibiza crowd partied around him.

Highlights
  • Ibiza's "Final Boss" revealed his identity after becoming a viral sensation overnight.
  • The original video amassed over 16 million views, motivating a hunt to discover his name.
  • Reluctant at first, the man embraced the spotlight, thanking fans and hinting at future projects.

While the clip captured some of his slick dance moves, it was his exceedingly geometric hairstyle that made him a viral sensation overnight.

    The video has racked up more than 16 million views, with Zero Six West Ibiza publicly appealing to followers to help identify “this absolute legend” so they could offer him two free guestlist tickets.

    Being offered free tickets not only to future events, but to internet stardom, the man in question couldn’t resist but come forward.

    Posting to his Instagram Stories, Jack Kay finally confirmed what millions had been wondering. Introducing himself as “just a normal person from Newcastle,” he thanked everyone for the “love and messages” that had flooded his inbox since the video took off.

    He admitted that he had been reluctant to step forward at first, describing the sudden attention as “a lot to take in.”

    He'll be everywhere for a few months, then give up his job because the appearances will pay so much. Then in 6 months he'll be unemployed with no appearances being offered. Maybe he can live off the socials if enough people remember who he is in a year or so.
