This one is actually easy to parse. I'm assuming baby gronk is Gronkowski's kid. I'm not big into American football but it was almost impossible to not hear about Gronk a few years ago. Normally drip is fashion or style so drip king in this context would probably mean ability on the field. Rizz is just short for charisma, so they are asking of he's just being hyped by whoever that last person they refer to. I'm not sure who that is and I don't think it's really worth looking up. Baby gronk is still a child, of course this is all manufactured hype.

I suspect you're making half of this stuff up but I can't prove a thing

Wait, that was easy to parse?

A lot of that is a couple years old now.

Livvy is Livvy Dunne the gymnast. And apparently Gronk is trying to hype up his very young son as a future athlete.

Didn't LeBron force his team to sign his son?

Sports is now like any other regime whore trade... Nepo baby pipeline.

No. Baby gronk was a sensation a few years ago in like u12 football because he was bigger than all the other kids ie he is a “baby” gronk. His dad promotes him hella on socials and now he’s an internet celebrity. “Drip king” can refer to a lot. Here I’d say it’s how well does he dress and what kind of aura does he have. But it’s a catch all term in this context. Livvy Dunne is a former LSU gymnast who became a huge internet celebrity around the same time as baby gronk, so there was a lot of talk of baby gronk rizzing her up and iirc they met up one time.

“Baby gronk rizzing up Livvy” is also a meme that has been around a couple years because it’s a silly sentence.
