British YouTube sensation Chunkz has ignited a firestorm of criticism after making shocking comments about parenting during a recent podcast appearance, leaving his substantial fanbase divided and disappointed.
From University Dropout to Social Media Storm
The 27-year-old content creator, whose real name is Amin Mohamed, revealed on the 'Where's Your Head At?' podcast that he abandoned his university studies to pursue his online career. However, it was his subsequent remarks about fatherhood that have truly captured public attention.
During the candid discussion, Chunkz made the controversial statement that he would 'disown my child' if they chose to follow in his educational footsteps by dropping out of university. The apparent hypocrisy has not gone unnoticed by his 3.5 million YouTube subscribers.
Social Media Backlash Erupts
The reaction across social media platforms has been swift and severe. Fans have flooded comment sections expressing their disappointment, with many calling the remarks 'tone-deaf' and 'hypocritical'.
One frustrated follower commented: 'So it's okay for you to drop out and become successful, but you'd disown your own child for doing the same? The lack of self-awareness is staggering.'
Another added: 'This is exactly the kind of outdated thinking that creates generational trauma. Very disappointing from someone so many young people look up to.'
A Career Built on Controversy and Success
Chunkz, who has built an impressive media empire including his popular 'Chunkz & Filly' show, now finds himself at the centre of one of his biggest controversies to date. His journey from university dropout to social media millionaire has been well-documented, making his recent comments particularly puzzling to supporters.
The London-based creator has previously collaborated with major football clubs and celebrities, building a reputation as one of Britain's most successful digital entrepreneurs. However, this latest incident threatens to damage the carefully cultivated relationship with his audience.
As the controversy continues to generate discussion across Twitter, Instagram and YouTube communities, many are waiting to see if Chunkz will address the growing criticism directly. For now, the incident serves as another example of how quickly social media stars can find themselves in hot water over ill-considered remarks.
