Alex Elvasam, the charismatic fish pie vendor whose enchanting voice captured the hearts of millions online, is speaking out about the harsh realities behind his viral fame.
Despite a wave of support and promises of financial help following his internet breakthrough, Alex remains stuck in financial hardship, feeling disappointed and exploited.
Months ago, Alex's unique chanting style while selling his goods turned him into an overnight sensation. His viral video attracted numerous offers of generosity, including a pledged N3 million donation from a TikToker and N200,000 for apartment rent from popular content creator Nons Miraj. Shockingly, Alex has revealed that none of these promises were fulfilled, leaving him to face his struggles alone.
In a recent interview, Alex shared his frustration, saying he feels used by those who offered help but never followed through. Despite the attention and fleeting fame, he struggles to make ends meet and provide for himself.
Alex also opened up about his partnership with the brand Eko, where he expressed discomfort with the comedic aspect of their collaboration. His true passion, he said, lies in cooking and catering, and he hopes to pursue this dream without compromising his identity.
As Alex’s story highlights the darker side of viral fame, his resilience and determination continue to inspire many. However, his plight serves as a reminder of the importance of genuine support beyond fleeting internet attention.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned for updates!
