===Walking into people's houses===

Mizzy became infamous across social media in May 2023 when he posted a TikTok video of him entering strangers' houses that went viral on Twitter. In the video, Mizzy and a few of his friends walk into a stranger's house, calling out somebody's child's name. Mizzy and his friends then sit on their couch, which angers the house owner, and he kicks them out while his toddler watches the altercation. In another video, Mizzy would do the same to a frightened old woman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWxBGAKQ960 
According to his lawyer, Lee Sergent, O’Garro apologized to the family. He said that his client was raised by a single parent and had a difficult upbringing, stating "Mr O’Garro grew up in a single-parent household,", adding, "He had an extremely difficult childhood. He is an intelligent young man and a young man with some potential." 
Mizzy was also fined £200, and told to pay a victim surcharge of £80 and costs of £85.https://news.sky.com/story/tiktok-prankster-bacari-bronze-ogarro-fined-200-and-and-given-social-media-video-ban-after-entering-familys-home-12888545

In another TikTok video, Mizzy and his friends went to a park to steal a dog from an old woman. The old woman tries to chase them but is unsuccessful. Eventually, Mizzy and his friends release the dog.https://twitter.com/LeilaniDowding/status/1659688664916697088
===Piers Morgan interview===
After the controversy went viral and O'garro's Tiktok account was removed, he appeared on the Piers Morgan show. When Morgan asked him "What has been motivating you to terrorise the people around where you live?", Mizzy replied "I wouldn’t really call it terrorising, I’ll just call it more having fun.". At another point, he said "Hate brings money. Hate brings likes, brings views - it doesn’t matter."https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12120709/TikTok-prankster-Mizzy-BANNED-uploading-videos-social-media-posting-idiotic-clips.html
O'garro would then go on to claim that the reason he was the subject of criticism online was "because he was a black male", to which Piers responded that he did not care for his race. 
He would also come under scrutiny for branding UK laws "weak" because he only received a "tiny fine". Morgan then told Mizzy "You're just a complete moron." before ending the interview.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdij3Eq0TqQ
===Assaulting Jewish people===
After the TikTok video of O'garro walking into strangers' houses went viral, he became the center of social media attention again when he filmed a "prank" where he attempted to jump over an Orthodox Jewish man.https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-730557 He also filmed himself saying "fucking Jews".https://twitter.com/Shomrim/status/1616121593520066560

===Book tearing===
In another video, Mizzy enters a library and announces to the cameraman that he is there to "rip up a book, any book" in front of people. Once he reaches the receptionist's desk, he opens the book and rips out the pages in front of her, causing her to exit the room and complain to someone else. Mizzy follows her, but another woman (presumably the lady she complained to) shames Mizzy and tries to take the book from him.https://twitter.com/CatchUpFeed/status/1660432934950834176

===Train hijacking===
On May 28, 2023, The Daily Mail reported that Mizzy was once again under scrutiny for filming himself hijacking a train.

==Quotes==
*"Walking into random people's houses, let's gooooo!"
*"Bacari ≠ Mizzy. “Mizzy” is a social media character. “Mizzy” is Bacari when he’s high. Reality is an illusion."https://twitter.com/mizzyisbanned/status/1666460884036714498
*"The only reason I’ve been making headlines for so long is because I’m young, black and doing something different. The mainstream media think they can use me as an example, put me on TV so I can make a fool out of myself and appeal to this stereotype. “It’s a simple distraction used by the media to divert attention from the real problems in this country. If I wasn’t the TikTok terror… would I be on this show right now, or even on Piers Morgan? It’s all propaganda at the end of the day. All these online personalities have had their own fair share of controversies, worse than mine even. “I’m just a teen from these rough areas. As journalists, it’s your job to be highlighting the misery of people in this country and figuring what the causes are, instead of bringing some TikTokker that makes silly pranks onto your shows for views and ratings."
*"Money doesn’t buy true happiness, it blocks you from finding it within."https://twitter.com/mizzyisbanned/status/1666026066706591745
*"You man gotta understand that I’m smarter than you think. Social media is like a big folder and everything you post goes into that folder kinda like a CV. My goal was to make Mizzy the biggest menace in the uk and keep it like that for a good while with old videos that will keep appearing to different audiences of people which is what will keep me more viral and in the talks for the longest time possible thus allowing me to fully spread my message and the agenda of the movement ’We Outside’. The only problem with this is that I got so absorbed into being Mizzy I forgot about my roots and where I came from and concealed Bacari, the mastermind behind the whole operation. Think about it I’m everywhere right now love it or hate it and I’ve been on social media for a bit I studied the algorithms and made a realisation that even the media/news knows, controversy sells. it’s just that now my videos have gotten a wider appeal everyone has got something to say but pranks as a whole have been going on in the social media scene longer than me and there has definitely been some worse pranks than I’ve even ever done and has it blown up as much as any of my stuff has recently, NO. And this is why I said on piers Morgan is it because I’m black, I didn’t mean it in a playing the race card way and I’ve already told y’all I’m bad with my words so piers already had a one up on me in that debate. I literally meant despite already having a stereotype attached to me because I’m ‘black’ and now I’m doing these outrageous things on the internet is that why everyone is talking about me and me only. How many pranks have you seen on the internet that are actually wild. Everyone wants to capitalise off of my appeal. Imma be a celebrity."https://twitter.com/mizzyisbanned/status/1665840552993083392
