Advertising
Comedian Natan Aqui came under fire after he faked an alleged shooting attack. Last Tuesday (10) the influencer even announced that he was in the intensive care unit. However, the case would be a hoax to attract attention on the networks.
“The advisers of the comedian Natan Aqui, with this publication, inform all those who follow his work that the comedian was surprised this Monday morning (September 10th) when he tried to carry out part 2 of the prank (is he friend or foe?). End by an armed person who, after falling for the prank, took out his gun and shot at the comedian, hitting him in the chest, the comedian is admitted to the intensive care unit. We ask everyone to send their energy positively so that he can get out of there and make us smile again with his work,” the statement said.
The influencer posted the video of the alleged attack and revealed in the YouTube description that it was all a joke. “Let me explain what really happened. This video was not an advertisement nor was it intended to make fun of subscribers. But I only played pranks on those who wished me harm.”
The comedian’s attitude caused criticism on social media. “If this is a lie, that’s a huge appeal and a lack of respect for the public!” one pointed out. “I didn’t even follow him anymore, and after that I won’t follow him at all. What does it take to make a video like this that uses death, a tragedy, to gain fame?! Brother, you don’t need that. “That worried everyone,” criticized another.
“Bad joke, partner! You made a huge mistake in this post and made people believe that you actually suffered attempted murder! Here’s a tip: Don’t publish posts like this or you’ll lose your credibility!” commented a third.
