Mets ‘Rally Pimp’ says SNY’s Andy Martino’s woke criticism ‘backfired on him so hard’

Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

The 24-year-old Mets fan affectionately called the “Rally Pimp” — who clownishly dresses in a fur coat, sunglasses, track suit and massive gold chain, and whose presence at Citi Field has coincided with the team’s hot streak — is striking out with the woke crowd.

SNY reporter Andy Martino took a swing at upstate Goshen native Max Wiener, with a post on X whining about how “pimp imagery is problematic on so many levels.”

Fans who consider Wiener a fun figure and a welcome good-luck charm, fired back.

“People were reaching out to me. They’re like, ‘Hey man, are you okay?’ And I’m like, ‘What? Watching Andy Martino get wiped on X because he made an extremely cold take. This is the greatest thing ever,'” Wiener told The Post before the Mets game on Friday.

“It backfired on him so hard because more people came to me in my defense to be like, ‘This is just a guy having fun at a baseball game.’ And then he even doubled down and was like, ‘He’s culturally appropriating black culture and he’s being racist,’ and then people were like, ‘What are you on, brother?'”

Wiener, a comedian who lives in Midtown East, crafted a hilarious rebuttal video to appease Martino, where he donned different costumes — including the Rally Virgin, Rally Joe Namath, Rally Amish Housewife and Rally Pope.

“I don’t really give a s–t what you call me, to be honest with you. But if you really don’t like using the term ‘pimp,’ I took the liberty of brainstorming some new characters that you can associate me with,” he retorted in the clip.

Martino still has not reached out to Wiener directly and the Rally Pimp — who’s gained close to 10,000 social media followers since his debut — could care less.

“I’ve heard nothing from him, nor do I think I will, and nor do I really care to, because I’m not going to change anything I’m doing just because one beat writer said it was offensive,” he said.

“Because again, and I have to keep reassuring people, I’m not a pimp. Sorry, guys. The cat’s out of the bag. I don’t own women.”

The name “Rally Pimp” was not even Wiener’s idea; it was bestowed upon him by fans on social media after he was first captured on camera at an April 4 game . Since that game, the Mets have gone 11-6.

“I did not pick that name. I did not choose this life. The pimp life did choose me, unfortunately,” he explained.

Although Wiener said spectators may think he is “ho-ing himself out for the camera,” this is his everyday look, which he’s been donning at Citi Field for years.

“I’m wearing this to CVS. I’m wearing this to get a slice and a beer,” he explained. “I had been wearing it to the games for the past couple of seasons, and I guess it was just this year that they were like, ‘Let’s give this guy a shot on the camera.'”

He is also getting the attention of marketers.

Athlete Logos has designed two T-shirts using his image.

Rocky’s NY Deli in Georgia even created a turkey and ham sandwich in his honor .

“If they had gotten my input, I would have told them, ‘Listen, this is cool, but . . . let’s put a little prosciutt’ in there, a little bit of chicken,’ you know?” he said.
