[2] He continued rapping until 2018, when Cassidy stepped away from his Froggy Fresh character and began a career as a singer under his real name.

[2] Writing for The Stranger, Megan Seling noted that Krispy's deadpan delivery featured in "The Baddest" made many unsure if the video was authentic or satirical in nature.

[1] In November 2012, Krispy Kreme was featured in a Mashable article that listed fifteen people made famous by the internet.

[19] On December 3, 2012, Froggy Fresh stated on his YouTube channel that his father received a call from the Krispy Kreme doughnut company telling him that his name was trademark infringement.

[21] Though he was originally going to change his stage name to Jelly Bean Jack,[22] on December 18, the rapper announced he would go by Froggy Fresh.

[33][34] Froggy would release the track and music video on May 9, 2015, one day after the Chicago Bulls defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third game of their Eastern Conference Semi-finals series.

On February 21, 2017, Cassidy uploaded a video on YouTube, which has since been removed from his channel, explaining the story behind the Krispy Kreme/Froggy Fresh project.

[35] In the 23-minute video, Cassidy revealed that Froggy Fresh was indeed a comedic character created after years of struggling to gain attention as a serious rap artist.

[36] In June 2019, Creative Loafing wrote, "with soft piano melodies and honestly pretty offensive lyrics, Cassidy's internet presence today walks a drunk line between music, comedy and cringe.

"[37] In October, Cassidy released a non-album track titled "Amber Guyger", named after and criticizing the police officer found guilty of murdering Botham Jean.

[40] On December 4, Cassidy opened up a Cameo account where he, as his Froggy Fresh character, would make short songs based on stories that fans would submit in for a request.
