Hey everyone, I really hate having to make videos like this. Honestly, this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But today, I need to talk about Lips — a friend, a fellow creator, and a beautiful soul in our mukbang community.
Life Is So Short
When I tell you life is short, I truly mean that. You have to cherish every single moment, every minute, every second. Live as if it’s your last day with your loved ones, because the truth is — you never really know.
On April 17th, we lost Lips. Allegedly, he was harmed by his partner. I have the article about the situation and I’ll attach it so you all can read it. Of course, it’s still just an allegation since there hasn’t been a trial yet. We don’t have an official court verdict, but the arrest record does list a serious charge.

My Reaction to the News
When I first heard the news, y’all can’t imagine how I felt. I couldn’t believe it. I was at the mall with Darius when we both got the news, and at the same time, we screamed, “What?!” We had to sit down right away. I couldn’t even function. I had to leave the mall because I just couldn’t handle what I was hearing.
When I got home, family and friends came over, and everyone was in total shock. We were just stuck — didn’t know what to think, what to say, what to do. It was unbelievable.
Our Last Conversations
What breaks my heart even more is that I had just talked to him. He had recently survived a major heart attack, and we had talked about it. Some of you might know, but many don’t — Lips had gone through a really bad heart attack.
The last message he sent me was on April 8th, wishing me a happy birthday. We chatted back and forth, joking around a bit. I even have our last voice recording — it’s 1 hour and 9 minutes long.
Do you ever think about things like that? That was the last time I heard his voice. You never know when it’ll be the last time you hear someone speak. That’s just crazy to me. I always reflect on moments like that — my family thinks I’m a little weird for it, but I do it because you just never know.
Remembering Lips in a Positive Light
Let’s remember Lips in a way his family can hold onto — in a positive light. We all know he was such a big part of the mukbang community. He was a gift to all of us.
His personality was so contagious — in the best way. Always laughing, always smiling. He had his signature songs, his signature style on his channel. He had a daughter, sisters, and a family who deserve to remember him with love and pride.
One thing we all know — that man could eat some good food! Those pig feet and so many other dishes! He made amazing mukbang videos over the years, but beyond that, his positive messages and inspiring energy really touched people.
Reflecting on Life
What really makes me think is this — he survived a heart attack, something that could’ve taken him naturally, and just months later, his life was taken in another way. That’s so hard to wrap my head around.
I always watch true crime shows — about couples, partners, people in relationships where one harms the other. I’ve talked about this kind of thing for years. But now, it’s right here, in our community. This is one of our people. Someone we’ve watched, supported, and loved.
And my mind keeps wondering — what happened in that moment? What was he feeling? I know it sounds a little crazy — my family probably thinks I’m “Looney Tunes” for it — but it’s not about curiosity, it’s about empathy. I just feel so bad. What led to that? Why did it go that far? How did it spiral out of control?
It’s just never good. Never.
A Message from the Heart
I’m still in disbelief. My mind keeps circling back to Lips. Do you ever have that happen — when something tragic happens to someone, and no matter how much you try to focus on something else, it just keeps replaying in your mind?
It’s so sad. Please, let’s all keep his family in our prayers. They need it so much right now.
One thing Lips told me was that he was so thankful to still be alive after that heart attack. He was so grateful for another chance at life.
Be Kind and Live with Purpose
Always keep God first in everything you do. And remember to live with purpose. Be intentionally kind. Do something good for someone else. Try to be a positive light in every space you walk into.
Don’t get caught up in negativity or trying to tear others down. Live your life as if today is your last day. Treat people the way you want to be treated. That’s something I live by — always have, always will.
An Important Reminder
And please, y’all — if you are in a relationship where someone is verbally or physically abusing you, please, please, please find a way out. I know it’s easier said than done. I’m not gonna lie — I know that. I’ve never been in that situation, but I can imagine how hard it must be to leave.
But if you can get help, try. Try to reach out. Try to make a plan to get out. If it’s still early, leave. Get out before it gets worse. Don’t just pack up and run without a plan — have an exit strategy, a safe way to leave.
Because that’s no way to live — being trapped with someone who abuses you mentally or physically. It’s miserable, and sometimes it can escalate into something tragic.
Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it’s scary. But please, seek help. Talk to someone — a loved one who can help you, or reach out to a resource that can.
Closing Thoughts
I’m sorry if this video feels all over the place. Please bear with me — it’s hard for me to even get through this. I’m doing my best to express what I’m feeling, but honestly, I don’t even know if I’m saying it right.
But maybe there’s no “right” way. It is what it is. You just feel what you feel.
I just want to end this by saying — Rest in peace, Lips. We were so blessed to have you here with us, to feel your presence on this earth. You shared so many positive messages through your videos.
I encourage everyone to go back and rewatch his content — those positive, inspiring videos. So many people were blessed through his words and his energy. Let’s remember him that way — with love, with light, and let’s keep his family in our prayers.
And please, comment down below what you remember most about Lips — the positive things, the happy memories. Let’s honor him together.
