Blawko
◆ Openly Virtual No — Blawko is not a real person: an openly disclosed AI persona.
Blawko posts as @blawko22, under the display name "🅱️LAWKO". On October 21, 2026 the verified account had about 109,000 followers and 162 posts, and its bio read "Low-life and high-tech in the City of Angels 🥀 | Join @lilmiquela's Villa M".
The bio doesn't itself say he is virtual, and the account carries no Instagram AI label.
His maker says so. In April 2018 Brud's own website named "Ronald Blawko aka @blawko22", alongside Lil Miquela, as "artificially intelligent talent" it manages, in a statement written inside its storyline. In 2019 Brud's Instagram bio listed @blawko22 among its "clients". His own YouTube channel introduces him with "Ima yong robot".
TechCrunch reported in April 2018 that Brud was the company behind Miquela and her fellow characters Blawko and Bermuda. Brud was bought by the NFT company Dapper Labs in October 2021, and Brud's own website did not load when we checked on October 21, 2026.
The account looks dormant: archived copies show 162 posts from November 2020 to February 2023, and it still showed 162 on October 21, 2026. The videos on his YouTube channel were all several years old in a September 2026 archived copy. This page is unclaimed and compiled from public sources.

Scam & impersonation warnings
- Stories online call him Lil Miquela's brother or Bermuda's boyfriend. Those relationships are part of Brud's storyline, sources don't agree on them, and they aren't facts.
- "Cain Intelligence", a company named in Brud's 2018 storyline, is fictional. Brud made him.
- He goes by three name forms: "BLAWKO" on Instagram, "Ronnie Blawko" on X and "Ronald Blawko" in Brud's statement. They are the same character.
