YouTuber Nikocado Avocado has sparked widespread online debate after announcing a significant personal change in a post shared on his Facebook page.

Nikocado Avocado, whose real name is Nicholas Perry, wrote, “Being gay was fun. But now I'm 35. It's time for a wife and kids.” The message quickly drew strong reactions across social media platforms, prompting discussion among supporters and critics alike.

The 35-year-old internet personality is known for his extreme food content, highly publicised lifestyle and provocative online presence. Over the years, he has built a substantial following while frequently generating headlines for controversial statements and dramatic personal revelations.

His latest post has divided opinion. Some followers welcomed the announcement as a personal decision reflecting maturity and a desire for family life. Others criticised the wording of the statement, arguing that it oversimplifies issues surrounding sexual identity and could reinforce stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community.

Given his history of headline-making posts, some commentators have suggested the timing may be linked to maintaining visibility in a competitive digital landscape.

Despite the criticism, the post has once again placed Nikocado Avocado at the centre of online conversation.
