Fans think they've figured out how Nikocado Avocado filmed cameos during his incredible weight loss following shock revelation that he hadn't filmed a video in two years.
YouTuber Nikocado Avocado, real name Nicholas Perry, sent the entire internet into a frenzy over the weekend after he revealed his 250lb weight loss.
Nikocado is known for his 'mukbang' videos where he eats copious amounts of food and chats about anything and everything, embodying a kind of 'evil villain' character.

After starting his channel eight years ago as a soft spoken vegan influencer, Nikocado slowly transitioned to a meat-eating mukbanger with a sassy personality.
The YouTube community watched on as Nik gained a significant amount of weight, often taking to the comments to express their 'concern' over his transformation.
After being such a regular uploader, Nikocado's 4.21m subscribers were baffled as to why his uploads had ground to a halt seven months ago, speculating that the YouTuber might have quit the internet for good after experiencing an onslaught of negative comments.
So when he dropped his now infamous video entitled '2 Steps Ahead' debuting his significant weight loss, the internet went into meltdown. In the video Nik reveals that he hadn't filmed a video in two years, leading fans to question how he had been filming videos for Cameo throughout this time.
Cameo allows fans to request videos from creators saying pretty much anything. Want Trisha Paytas to sing 'Happy Birthday' to you? Cameo is where you can do that.
And Nikocado had been filming these throughout the two years he was 'offline'.
One fan took to the r/nikocado Subreddit to ask: "If he prefilmed the videos how did he film the Cameos?"
One user responded: 'he jacked the prices up really high so no one would really do it."
Another said: "it kinda looks like he was forcing a double chin"
Taking to YouTube one fan posted a Cameo they received from Nik one year ago where he seems to reveal his grand weight loss plan.
In the video Nik says: "I know I look really skinny, it's because I lost 89lbs"
He continues, seemingly confirming the theory that Nik jacked the prices of his Cameo up, to say: "They [the Cameo customer] afforded my rates by saving up their pennies because I'm very expensive".
One person took to the comments to say: "This video was a hint"
While another commented: "Here before this blows up"
So it seems like Nik was recording Cameos few and far between, and simply addressed the weight loss in the ones that he did record.
