All about viral YouTuber Nikocado Avocado and his dramatic weight loss journey (2024)

YouTuber Nikocado Avocado has been a frequent feature within the mukbang community since its advent, more so now after his dramatic weight loss. Initially beloved for his cheery personality and conversational approach to his content, his reputation took a swift turn down South when his behaviour grew to become increasingly erratic, leading to violent outbursts on camera.

Originally born in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine, Nikocado Avocadoaka Nicholas Perry was adopted by American parents and raised in the state of Pennsylvania for the majority of his life. Showing an early affinity for music at a young age, he pursued a major in violin performance and performed on a freelance basis while juggling a day job as aHome Depotemployee.

Deciding that he wanted more for himself, he moved to New York City hoping to break into Broadway but struggled in the face of competition. Things wouldn’t quite pan out for Perry in showbusiness and in 2014, he left for Colombo to settle down with his partner, Orlin Home. This would also mark the beginning of his YouTube career, which Home encouraged.

His content ran the usual gamut of topics that most lifestyle content creators of the time would discuss, ranging from vlogs to insights on his vegan lifestyle and occasionally, violin performances. It wouldn’t be until 2016 did Perry began creating mukbang content after leaving the vegan community.

He played well into the expectations of the genre at the beginning, binging on an assortment of large but otherwise healthy foods such as salads. But over time, his dietary habits changed and so did his behaviour, which grew to become increasingly volatile. It was through this bout of unhinged mania that Perry’s following grew exponentially, driven by train-wreck spectators who were ever-eager to satiate that raw human fascination for disorder and chaos.

The approach worked by design, and the Nikocado Avocado channel thrived on its own mayhem for the most part. Until just over the last weekend, when Perry made an astonishing revelation through a video entitled ‘Two Steps Ahead’.

While the world was led to believe that he was increasingly slipping into a state of unhinged insanity, Perry now reveals that he had been secretly working on shedding a total of 110 kilos over two years in a redemption era that nobody had seen coming. All while relying on a massive stockpile of content he had previously filmed when he was at his heaviest to keep up with appearances on YouTube.

Speaking on the matter, he explains that much of his recent content was meant to serve as part of a greater ‘social experiment’ to comment on the state of the human condition and its propensity to be “… completely absorbed with Internet personalities and obsessively watch their content. That is where a deeper level of over-consumption lies — and it’s the parallel I wanted to make.”

As of writing, his video has already racked up a total of 36 million views in the span of around four days, with viewers left equally shocked and impressed to learn how they had the wool pulled over their eyes without them realising it. This is in sharp contrast to a video from three months prior, where Perry claims to have ‘given up’ on losing weight after failing to see visible results.

As to what the future holds for Nikocado Avocado after his massive weight loss, that remains to be seen. “I don’t know if people even like me anymore. I don’t know if people want to hear from me or like my content at all. I actually just don’t even know,” he pondered in a subsequent update after his weight loss reveal.

Judging by the success of his redemption arc, however, this is not the last that we’ve heard from YouTuber Nikocado Avocado. And it does go to show that where grotesque voyeurism is concerned, the public’s appetite remains ever-voracious, even if they may attempt to shy away from that truth.
