Nicholas Perry, better known as Nikocado Avocado, became famous for his over-the-top mukbang videos—where he would eat absurd amounts of food on camera, often paired with emotional outbursts and wild behavior. His content turned into a spectacle as people watched his dramatic weight gain unfold, with many growing increasingly concerned about his health. Fans were caught up in a strange mix of worry and fascination, tuning in to witness what seemed like a real-life health disaster happening in real time.
As Nikocado’s fame grew, so did the criticism. Viewers, health professionals, and even other YouTubers voiced concerns about the toll his lifestyle was taking. But instead of slowing down, Nikocado leaned into the controversy. He responded to critics by making even more extreme videos, blurring the lines between reality and performance art. This cycle of overeating, backlash, and even more outrageous content became the foundation of his channel, keeping people hooked with a mix of concern and morbid curiosity. Then came the big reveal: Nikocado had been tricking his audience all along.
How did YouTuber Nikocado Avocado ‘single-handedly fool the entire internet?’
Nikocado recently shocked his fans by unveiling a dramatic weight loss transformation—he shed an unbelievable 250 pounds over just seven months. But it wasn’t just the weight loss that surprised people. It turns out that for the past two years, while viewers thought they were watching him continue to gain weight, Nikocado had been secretly recording videos in advance. Behind the scenes, he had been working on improving his health and fitness, all while uploading pre-recorded content.
In a video titled “Two Steps Ahead,” Nikocado revealed that his apparent spiral was nothing more than a well-planned act. He called the whole thing “the greatest social experiment of my entire life,” and took shots at his audience, calling them “ants” for blindly consuming content without questioning its authenticity. He framed his entire persona as a calculated performance designed to toy with public perception.
The revelation stirred up strong reactions. Some people praised Nikocado for his cleverness, calling it a bold critique of how we mindlessly consume internet content. Others felt completely betrayed, arguing that he went too far by trivializing serious issues like eating disorders and mental health struggles. Whether people love or hate his actions, it’s clear that Nikocado Avocado’s latest stunt has left a huge impact, as he executed his plan with the precision of a master manipulator while reaching new levels of online success.
