Viral TikToker Who Ate Bat Claims To Have Eaten Spider [VIDEO]

Kenyan TikTok content creator Steve Alvin Muthomi, also known as the King of Mugaka and username Aq9ine has now shared a clip of his swollen face as an effect of eating a spider.

He shared the clip on his official TikTok account on Saturday, July 16, appealing to Kenyans to pray for him as he expressed worry about the serious health issues and complications from attempting one of the most daring stunts ever.

In the video, Muthomi looked disturbed as he kept rubbing his face, adding that the swelling had spread to all parts of his body.

"Guys, make your last prayers before niendee mniombee before niende naskia nikama sina uso manze nafura fura kila pahali nimedishi spider this is happening to my face man make your last prayers (Pray for me before I die, it's like I don't have a face. Man, I'm swelling everywhere because I ate a spider, make your last prayers)," he said in the video.

He further asked the public to share any last words they had for him through a post on his Instagram stories, while attaching a picture of his swollen face in the background.

Muthomi further criticised fans for expressing worry about his actions, adding that they should not be surprised as it was his life to live.

"You are all boring, you are catching feelings at me because of my problems, why? If I die, I'll be buried and you will forget me...you shouldn't be scared because I'm not one of yours.

"When I recover, next it will be a frog and a snake. I said I'll vomit until I die, I guess I'm almost. Is it Kiswahili that you're not understanding? Mind your business (sic)," he wrote.

His new stunt has since gained over 66,400 views on TikTok. He further claimed that he has since been admitted to hospital after his chest began aching and fever reported at 48 degrees.

He recently went viral after a stunt whereby he ate a bat, which amassed over 933,200 views on the platform.

A running nose for hours, chest pains, fever, sore throat, flu, and coughing blood are some of the side effects Muthomi experienced shortly after devouring the flying mammal. The flu, he added, almost cost him his voice.

The comedian announced that he did not intend on eating a bat but after it was trapped in his house he got creative and made content for his 221.6k followers. 

The video drew mixed reactions on social media, with many users questioning whether he knew the after-effects of eating such animals.

"Those around me were worried at first some even questioning my sanity. They would ask me if I was under the influence of any drug. I always reassure them it is purely work-related," Muthomi explained. 

It emerged amidst scientific claims that the consumption of bats in Wuhan, China's live animals market may have been the source of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), which was initially contained in the town before it spread across the world in a devastating fashion for almost three years.

According to a 2015 report by The Washington Post, spiders, rich in protein, folic acid and zinc, are considered a delicacy and sold in markets and restaurants across Cambodia.

The spiders eaten in Cambodia are Thai zebra tarantulas, called “apin” in the Khmer language. Roughly the size of a person’s palm, they breed in holes in the ground deep in heavily forested areas.
