Former New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski has expressed tiredness about the association of his name with Baby Gronk, a child social media star whom his father markets as the next big thing in football.
The four-time Super Bowl champion used to feel amused by the aspiring American football player but now feels the opposite. This is not because of the kid but because of the father of Baby Gronk or Madden San Miguel in real life.
The father has been trying so hard to get noticed by Gronkowski, and the latter thought some lines are getting crossed.
"Yeah, it's to a point where it's awkward," Gronk was caught saying in a vlog posted by Barstool Sports at Tight End University.
"It's too far. Four weeks ago, my brother told me, 'Yo, have you seen Baby Gronk?' 'Did I see him? ' I go, 'His dad hit me up 500 times already.' He goes, 'Don't do anything.' The dad is so annoying. And this was like five, six weeks ago. And then all of a sudden, two weeks later, it's coming out everywhere. My brother died laughing."

The legendary tight end even quipped that they would "cease and desist" Baby Gronk, although it was obviously in jest, and no legal action will be taken.
Who is Baby Gronk?
Madden, 10, rose to stardom because his father inspired him to become as famous as Gronkowski. He and Rob have no blood relation, although the kid showed better football skills than kids his age.
Over his social media accounts, he poses and dresses like Gronk, earning him the nickname he's using now.
Some people thought the kid could be a professional American football player, but some believe the father is going too far in marketing the child.
