Ever since the rise of social media platforms, influencer culture has seen a huge rise in popularity. While some argue that it has given fame to many ordinary people who have millions of followers online, others claim that it has given people a false sense of stardom for many who get caught up in the online bubble. However, sometimes these influencers can get a reality check which often ends up shattering this bubble and breaking down their false sense of fame.

This was exactly the case when an influencer tried to move a man from sitting on a public bench but was instead taught a lesson in public etiquette. Moreover, the video which has since become viral online was shared by none other than IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards.

Edwards shared the video on his Twitter page claiming that it was the best video he had seen all day. In the video, we can see the influencer trying to conduct a live session in front of a bench in a public park. However, a man comes down and sits on the bench after which he was asked to move. What followed was a hilarious back-and forth-between the two with the man brutally shutting down the influencer’s request and refusing to move.

Moreover, a moment that stood out from the rest was when the influencer claimed that her followers did not want to see the man, to which he hilariously asked if the influencer was ‘Jesus’.  “Your followers? Oh, are you Jesus now, are you?” asked the man. The influencer eventually gave up and had to move to record her video. However, the man stood his ground and was rewarded for his boldness. In addition, he also became a viral sensation which the influencer was hoping she could become.

This was not all as former world champion and boxing legend Tony Bellew also shared the video. He claimed that he also could not stop laughing after seeing this video and was seeing the world become a strange place.”Early start this morning! Come across this video and I can’t stop laughing.. I swear the longer I live the stranger this world becomes,” he wrote.

Edwards seems to understand how fame can work against a person after their whole life. Moreover, he even related to pop star Brittney Spears, whose downfall is attributed to her unfathomable fame due to many. Edwards shared a video of Spears where she was visibly not herself and had a heartfelt message for the former pop star.

We are really seeing what modern fame can do to the human brain, mixed with trauma from her environment. I really hope she gets the help she needs,” he wrote. Spears’ downfall has been well documented and one of the major reasons for it was her fame. The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker saw fame at a very young age.
