Albert Ofosu Nketia, the young Ghanaian boy who captured global attention with his viral crying-to-laughing video, is now facing serious health challenges, prompting his family to appeal for support.
A recent visit by blogger Nana Baffuor revealed that Albert, who once brought joy to millions, is struggling with an illness that requires urgent medical attention. His family, particularly his grandmother, with whom he lives, is seeking financial assistance for his treatment.
Albert became a worldwide meme sensation, with his video amassing over 398 million views on TikTok. However, despite his internet fame, his current condition highlights the harsh reality that viral recognition does not always translate into financial security.
Nana Baffuor has urged Ghanaians, especially those who have benefited from using Albert’s video in their content, to contribute towards his medical expenses. His family hopes that the global community that once celebrated him will now come together to support his recovery.
