NELK Boys\u2019 Jesse Sebastiani explains why he \u201chates\u201d being YouTube famous Jesse Sebastiani, TwitterMember of popular YouTube prank group \u201cThe NELK Boys\u201d Jesse Sebastiani has had enough of his internet fame following a practical joke gone wrong just a few days prior. Although online stardom may seem all sunshine and roses, to Sebastiani, he and the Nelk Boys\u2019 infamous pranks have placed a veritable \u201ctarget\u201d on their backs, which he opened up about in a somber Tweet on January 28. The NELK Boys are known for their ridiculous practical jokes and pranks, with their YouTube channel boasting over 3.9 million subscribers due to their antics. However, according to Sebastiani, these antics are taking a huge toll on his personal life, claiming that he truly hates being internet famous. \u201cHonestly love what we do, but f**k, I hate being such a target,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s cliche and s**t, but I hate fame. I\u2019ve only had a taste of it, and I already experienced how much you have to give up for this life choice. It sounds petty, but I\u2019ve lost almost everything I use to love about life.\u201d Honestly love what we do but fuck I hate being such a target, it\u2019s cliche and shit but I hate fame. I\u2019ve only had a taste of it and I already experienced how much you have to give up for this life choice. It\u2019s sounds petty but I\u2019ve lost almost everything I use to love about life. \u2014 mtvjesse (@JesseSebastiani) January 29, 2020 That\u2019s not all: a fan asked the YouTuber exactly what about the lifestyle caused him to feel this way, prompting further explanation from Jesse that included his apparent loss of normal communication. \u201c\u2026it\u2019s hard to explain until you\u2019re in it,\u201d he replied. \u201cIt\u2019s all exciting, then you realize this is your life. For some, they feed off it. Personally, [I] feel I lost natural interactions, relationships, just doing normal s**t. You\u2019re always the center of attention, every conversation\u2019s about you.\u201d dude it\u2019s hard to explain un till your in it, it\u2019s all exciting, than you realize this is your life. For some they feed off it, personally feel I lost natural interactions, relationships, just doing normal shit. Your always the center of attention every conversations about you. \u2014 mtvjesse (@JesseSebastiani) January 29, 2020 Although he didn\u2019t mention it as a defining factor for his feelings, Jesse\u2019s concerning social media posts follow a physical assault on fellow Nelk Boy Kyle Forgeard, who was struck by a Walmart customer after fake \u201csneezing\u201d on them as part of a prank. A video of the altercation quickly went viral online, proving that not everyone is enthusiastic about practical jokes while going about their daily business \u2014 but it certainly doesn\u2019t help the constant attention the group receives. We did a fake sneezing prank in the hood video yesterday and this dude punched Kyle in the face and posted it on Facebook ? pic.twitter.com\/u2up6oKIfk \u2014 NELK (@NelkFilmz) January 23, 2020 Jesse isn\u2019t the only content creator to express such sentiments, by far; even stars like Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg have had to beg fans for basic rights like personal privacy after being sabotaged at a drive thru and even having their address leaked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
