- She urged Alax to clear her name and reveal the true identities of those who took advantage of him
Chinonso Ukah, popularly known as Nons Miraj, a content creator and host of The Hunt Game Show, has finally reacted to the fish pie guy's claims of being used.
Alax Evalsam, the Nigerian pastry seller who became famous in August 2024 with his catchy "fish pie" tune, recently shared how his newfound fame led to personal and financial struggles. He revealed that despite his viral success, others had taken advantage of him.
Evalsam clarified that rumours claiming he received large sums of money from celebrities were false. “I am really going through a lot, everyone has used me to make money, I have nothing and I can barely feed myself. The rumors that they gave me N10 million, N5 million, and more are untrue. The truth is, many of these people took advantage of me,"
he said.
He added his social media situation, revealing that many of the accounts bearing his name were not his own. “I do not have a Facebook page, and all those accounts with millions of views are not mine. My first one was taken from me, and another person used it,”
If he had been given the money that was rumoured to have been given to him, his shop would have been filled with stuffs needed for the pastry's production.
This video caught the attention of many individuals, including Nons Miraj, who called him out for being ungrateful.
In response to Evalsam's claims, Nons Miraj, who was one of the celebrities who helped him, finally spoke out.
In a video message, she addressed Evalsam directly, saying: "Fish Pie Guy, I've been seeing a lot of videos going about. You're saying some people used you and all of that. I feel I owe this to my fans & friends."
The host defended herself against Evalsam's accusations, stating that she had helped him and provided him with various opportunities.
"I am daring you to call names now. You see that car, I gave you the car, the car is still with you. The documents are with you. The house that I got for you, you're still there, it was supposed to be for you alone but when I came, I saw a battalion of people."
The TV host also mentioned that she had brought Evalsam on board as a brand ambassador for 1XBet, further emphasising her support for the young pastry seller.
"You're currently working with 1XBet, I brought you that deal. So what else do you want from me? Am I supposed to give you my life before you know we've helped? I've given you the necessary help, push yourself to the next level."
The host concluded by urging Evalsam to clear her name and reveal the true identities of those who had taken advantage of him.
"And please, better come out and clear my name,” she said.
Evalsam responds to Nons Miraj's post
Prior to Nons Miraj's address, Evalsam had already given an interview to clear the air, stating that he was not an ingrate and had good character. He emphasised that people should love him more rather than grow tired of him.
However, Nons Miraj's video post called him out, and Evalsam made a new video to set the record straight. In the video, Evalsam expressed his gratitude to Nons Miraj, acknowledging the significant role she played in transforming his life.
"I want to say thank you to everyone who has done good to me, especially Nons Miraj,
Ma don’t forget who you are, the mistake I will not do is me not appreciating you”
“You brought me out of nothingness and gave me a life. You provided me with shelter when I had no roof over my head, and you bought clothes for me when I had nothing. I can never be ungrateful to you.”
Netizens react to Nons Miraj's post
Here are some reactions below;
@StephenOrukpe8 commented: “The fish guy should have just continued skit making by showing how he does his fish pie and the rest. He only needs a team.
Guessing he lost steam and didn't know how to proceed with his five minutes of fame.”
@TemmyOgunbo commented: “The guy is the problem. He is not prepared for the opportunities coming his way. Nothing last forever!”
@GayleZoie commented: “I watched nons miraj's video about that fishpie guy. She said she bought him a car, a house, furnished it, got him deals, got him new clothes.
And now he's saying some people used him. I don't blame him. What did he do to deserve that largesse? Now he's moving mad like mum zee.”
@Nuggetman1 commented: “Fish pie guy has a very shallow mind tbh
@rotciviola commented: “Some Nigerians and entitlement is like 5&6. I can bet my balls that some mumu will still donate money for this lazy ass niga and shame on y’all bloggers for giving your platforms to promote these kind of shit! If no one pay him attention he’ll go back to the street to hustle. Nonsense!”
