What did Nikocado Avocado do to Stephanie Soo? Panda Mask controversy erupts as netizens urge not to forgive YouTuber

American internet personality Nikocado Avocado, aka Nicholas Perry, has been in the news lately, after his shocking weight transformation revelation. On September 7, he shared a video on YouTube titled "Two Steps Ahead" which has gained more than 30 million views. Meanwhile, an old drama involving Perry and Stephanie Soo has resurfaced.

In the latest video, Perry welcomes the viewers with a panda mask on his head, similar to what Stephanie's husband uses, to hide his identity. Taking note of that, netizens were reminded of their conflict and shared tweets in which they urged others to not forgive Perry for what he allegedly did to Soo. A netizen wrote:

"Pls people saying they're proud of nikocado as if he didn't send a manhunt towards stephanie soo for speaking out against his a**?????..."

"And no one is bringing up he started the video with taking off a panda mask clearly mocking her," wrote another X user after calling out Nicholas for using a similar panda mask that Stephanie's husband too uses in his content.

Just like Perry, Soo is also known for creating mukbang videos. The drama between the two began in 2019 after they collaborated on a video. The issues started after Perry asked Soo to spill the tea about another YouTuber Veronica Wang, which made the latter uncomfortable.

Nikocado Avocado allegedly pressured Stephanie to reveal details about her issues with Veronica. Later, the South Korean content creator called out Perry and described him to be manipulative by nature.

Nicholas, however, defended himself and claimed that before shooting the video, Soo agreed to talk about the drama with Veronica. He also claimed that Stephanie Soo had been lying to her viewers and further called her "self-serving."

Everything to know about the drama between Stephanie Soo and Nikocado Avocado

As mentioned, it all started in late 2019, after Nicholas and Stephanie decided to do a collaboration video. Before the video, Soo had allegedly told Nicholas about her issues with Veronica. He then insisted her on speaking about them during the collaborative video.

While Nikocado Avocado kept allegedly pressing Soo to give more details while filming the video, she seemed reluctant to do it. On December 21, 2019, Soo shared a video on YouTube titled "Why I Am Scared Of Nikocado Avocado."

In the video, she claimed that Nicholas was forcing her to talk about the drama on the video and that he clicked the photos of her home security system, without her knowing. On December 30, Nicholas then came up with a response video, where he denied the claim made by the South Korean YouTuber. In the video, he also said:

"Stephanie, you painted the stage for your viewers that you had no idea I was taking photos and that was the reason you’re questioning their safety. That’s the only thing you supposedly had on me."

On January 1, 2020, Stephanie Soo shared one last video on the matter, titled "How Nikocado Manipulated All Of Us." In the video, Soo seemingly broke down and claimed that Nicholas was lying and that she had never consented to openly talk about her beef with Veronica Wang. In the video, she said:

"I am no longer scared of you. Because all you do is twist things and lie. I think it’s starting to show… I am moving on in my life."

Netizens further brought back the old drama after they linked up Nikocado Avocado's current video to Soo. According to them, Nikocado could be seen wearing a panda mask which was similar to what Soo's partner used in his videos.
