"I am the villain" - Nikocado Avocado addresses online community after revealing his 250-pound weight loss transformation
In a 25-minute video uploaded on September 7, 2024, Nikocado Avocado addressed the online community after revealing his weight loss transformation. While referring to himself as a "villain," the Ukrainian-born American personality described netizens as "ants."
"People consuming 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, 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 the ants. Brainwash the ants. You are the ants."
