Landon Lee is a star in the making. He’s not even a year-old, yet he has over 46,000 Instagram followers! Landon’s popularity didn’t start from a positive place. When his mom, Jessica Benton, initially opened his Instagram account, she got a rude awakening. Someone had taken one of Landon’s photos and wrote cruel comments about his weight.
The image went viral and the child had been given a nickname: “Stuff Curry.” It’s a play on words linking Landon to Golden State Warriors star, Stephen “Steph” Curry.
Benton made her social media accounts private, but it didn’t help. Landon’s face was already posted on multiple sites, and the mean comments continued. So she decided to change the narrative: You will put “respeck” on Landon’s name!
Landon adopted the “Stuff Curry” moniker and began dressing the part.
Now people can’t get enough of this adorable kid.

“I get messages from people who told me that they were having a really bad day, but then they saw a picture of Landon and it brightened up their day, and that makes me really happy,” Benton told Buzzfeed.
