Nikocado Avocado, the YouTube 'mukbang' star, has revealed in a new video titled "Two Steps Ahead," uploaded on Friday, that he has secretly lost hundreds of pounds while leading his fans to believe he was dangerously overweight.
Avocado, who has 3.9 million YouTube subscribers and 800 million total views, is known as the "King of Mukbangs," a Korean eating trend where individuals consume large quantities of food on camera. He has been on a covert two-year weight loss journey while continuing to post old videos to maintain his previous image.
In his latest video, Avocado, who previously claimed to weigh 359 pounds, reveals he is now 250 pounds lighter. He begins the video, which features him in a Panda mask, by declaring, “Two steps ahead, two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life.”
He elaborates on his experience, stating, “It’s alluring, it’s compelling, it’s gripping to observe all these unwell, disoriented beings roaming the internet in search of stories. They evolve with the stories, becoming products of influence.”
Avocado compares his fans and critics to ants, noting how they follow trends and consume whatever they are told. He then removes the mask to showcase his dramatic weight loss transformation and explains his scheme.
“Today, I woke up from a very long dream and also from losing 250 pounds,” he says. “Yet, just yesterday, people were calling me fat, sick, boring, and irrelevant. People are the most messed-up creatures on the planet.”
He adds, “I am the villain because I’ve made myself one. You will continue to consume stories about me, year after year, as long as I present myself as the villain. These stories linger and infect the minds of the masses, influencing and brainwashing them.”
In a separate video on another channel, Avocado reveals that he hasn’t made a video in two years. Although he last posted a mukbang video three months ago, all his content had been prerecorded years earlier.
Fans didn’t have to wait long for a return to familiar territory; Avocado resumed his old habits, presenting an oversized tray of black bean noodles for a slurp-fest.
The comments on the video were filled with astonishment.
“I think we all failed the social experiment,” hullsome noted.
“Honestly, this is what we hoped for rather than facing the reality of his passing due to complications from his weight,” another commenter said.
Some wondered if Avocado had turned to weight loss drugs.
“The Ozempic must have been working overtime,” KyBillyb remarked.
“You can really see how effective Ozempic is,” lunaticgaloxxx6899 concurred.
