Acknowledged as a social media influencer, Rafi was named the Most Influential Man on Twitter by the New York Times in 2011. He had 7 million followers at the time, and that figure has since increased to 11.4 million. 2013 saw him win the Shorty Awards for Best Comedian, which are sometimes referred to as the "Oscars of Social Media," further solidifying his dominance in the digital arena.

Rafi constantly pushes the limits of humor, demonstrating his skill and inventiveness while upholding a high degree of quality and influence, whether he performs in Portuguese or English.
