Meme Boy Who Made the World Laugh Now in Need of Medical Assistance

The young Ghanaian boy who became a global internet sensation through the widely shared “cry-laugh” meme is reportedly battling an illness and is in urgent need of financial assistance.

Despite his viral fame, his family continues to struggle with financial hardships, and his current health condition has only worsened their situation.

A Ghanaian blogger, identified as Nana Baffour, recently shared a heartfelt video in which he visited the boy’s family at their home—the very place where the now-iconic meme was originally recorded.

In the video, Baffour revealed that the child, who is noticeably older now, is suffering from an undisclosed medical condition that has left visible marks on his body. However, the exact nature of his illness has not been disclosed.

According to Baffour, although the child has brought laughter and joy to millions worldwide, his own life has been far from easy.

His grandmother, who appeared in the video, confirmed that their financial struggles have made it difficult to provide proper care for the boy, especially now that his health is deteriorating.

The blogger made a passionate appeal to individuals both in Ghana and abroad to support the child and his family in any way possible.

He highlighted the fact that the viral meme has been widely used by content creators, meme pages, and social media users worldwide—many of whom have generated significant revenue from its popularity.

Yet, the young boy and his family have received little to no benefit from his internet fame.

Following the video’s circulation, social media users reacted with a mix of shock and concern.

Many pledged to assist financially, while others urged Baffour to provide more details about the child’s illness so that the right medical aid could be arranged.

Some also suggested that future updates be recorded in English to reach a broader audience, including those in Nigeria and other countries who may be willing to contribute.

The situation serves as a stark reminder that internet fame does not always translate into financial stability, and that those behind viral content often remain in difficult circumstances.

For now, the family awaits the generosity of well-meaning individuals who can help provide the necessary medical care for the young boy.
