Watch: YouTuber shares 'controversial' weight loss video, internet reacts

Popular YouTuber Nikocado Avocado has recently shared a video to share his weight loss journey. In this video, he said that he lost 250 pounds in just seven months. Captioned ‘2 Steps Ahead,’ Nikocado Avocado, whose real name is Nicholas Perry , addressed criticism surrounding the reason for his transformation. He also reminded his audience how they are “hungry” for his content and addressed them as“ants”. Since it was uploaded, the video has gained nearly 4
million views and has even sparked a controversy on social media platform X (earlier Twitter ) as some users speculate that he took controversial weight loss medicines.

Here’s what he said in the video:


In the video, Perry said: “Two steps ahead, I am always two steps ahead. This has been the greatest social experiment of my entire life. It's alluring, compelling and gripping to observe all these unwell disoriented beings roam the internet and search for stories and ideas.

Rivalries where they feel encouraged and engaged and where they involve themselves with the stories and become a product of influence thirsty for distraction from time unspent. Spoiling their minds yet stimulating them at the same time. It's brilliant and it's dangerous.

I feel as if I'm monitoring ants on an ant farm one follows another follows another follows another. It's mesmerising it's spellbinding all these little consumers all of these lost and bored people can consume anything that they're told to consume.

So, I am the villain because I've made myself one and you will continue to consume these stories about me year after year for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain stories that permeate and linger and infect the minds of the ants influence and brainwash them.

You are the ants today I woke up from a very long dream having lost 250 lbs off of my body. Just yesterday people were calling me fat and sick and boring and irrelevant. People are the most messed up creatures on the entire planet and yet I've still managed to stay two steps ahead of everyone, so the joke's on you.”



How internet users reacted to the video

Some X users have uploaded clips from the original YouTube video to mock and criticise it. Many even expressed their speculations about the YouTuber using controversial weight loss medication, such as Ozempic , to lose weight in the comment section. Meanwhile, others praised him for his transformative journey.

“Nikocado Avocado reveals his new look after a long weight loss journey and talks about people who were constantly bashing him for his previous weight 👀🔥” a second user wrote.
