Nicholas Perry, known as Nikocado Avocado to his fans, has established himself as a prominent Youtuber, racking up a total of 3 million subscribers across three main channels. The 27-year-old is known for his mukbang videos in which he consumes entire fast-food menu offerings — but he's also developed a reputation for stirring up controversy among fellow YouTubers and posting melodramatic videos that leave viewers confused and concerned.
In Perry's most recent video, titled "Jesus Is Coming Soon, He Spoke To Me," the YouTuber called himself "Jesus."
"I'm just here. And I'm just stuck in this mess," Perry says in the 17-minute clip. "It's like I'm trapped."
He goes on to cry, rip up paper, reference the Olsen twins, bemoan the color of his Invisalign, and film close-up shots of his face.
"God talked to me in a dream. I saw Jesus and he told me the secrets of the world. God Bless everyone," Perry captioned the video.
In one day, the video has been viewed over 60,000 times and received thousands of comments from viewers — some expressing outrage over his theatrics, some comparing him to self-described "online troll" and YouTuber Trisha Paytas, and others voicing concern for the state of his mental health.
"I can't tell if you're pulling a Trisha Paytas or this is a genuine psychosis-like episode," one commenter wrote. "It's so concerning how far Youtubers are from reality."
"This is the first video that actually scared me," another added. "I'm legit scared."
The video has also received attention from other YouTubers.
Dennis Feitosa (better known as Def Noodles to his 300,000 subscribers) posted a satirical YouTube video dedicated to dissecting Perry's latest upload, joking that the clip was a "psychological thriller."
This is far from the first time the mukbanger has gone viral. Perry was also embroiled in a YouTube scandal after another mukbanger he filmed with named Stephanie Soo accused him of harassing her and making her feel unsafe. Perry has also accused YouTuber David Dobrik of "stealing [his] DNA" and faced backlash after forgetting Kobe Bryant's name when speaking about the basketball star's death.
Perry did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.
