In a turn of events that shocked both fans and online communities, viral content creator Whamos Cruz has publicly called out former friend and collaborator Awit Gamer for alleged financial abuse—marking a bitter fallout that many say has been simmering for months behind the scenes.

Once known for their humorous and viral videos that raked in millions of views across social media platforms, Whamos and Awit were a dynamic duo that netizens adored. But the latest revelations have shaken the foundation of that online partnership, suggesting that not everything was as picture-perfect behind the screen.

Whamos Cruz did not hold back in his emotional statement released via livestream and a follow-up vlog. According to him, Awit Gamer repeatedly took advantage of their shared earnings, allegedly mishandling funds and benefiting disproportionately from brand deals and sponsorships without proper transparency.

“He didn’t just take money—he made me feel like I owed him my success,” Whamos confessed during the video. “I trusted him like a brother, but I didn’t realize how deep the betrayal went until I checked the numbers myself.”

While Whamos didn’t delve into full financial specifics, he hinted that the amount in question was not insignificant. His fans, known as “Whamers,” flooded the comment sections with messages of support and shock. Many expressed disbelief, while others claimed they had sensed tension in their recent content.

But what truly set the internet ablaze was the surprising detail that Awit Gamer, once a rising star with branded merchandise and viral fame, is now reportedly resorting to selling bagoong—a traditional Filipino fermented shrimp paste—to make ends meet.

According to sources close to the former online star, Awit has been spotted manning a small stall in a public market, pushing bottles of bagoong with a handwritten sign that read “Support Local, Support Awit.” While some netizens mocked the irony of the situation, others sympathized, pointing out that fame is fleeting and financial missteps can be devastating.

The drama has also reignited discussions about the dangers of money and trust in the influencer world. Without proper contracts, financial literacy, and business transparency, even the closest friendships can unravel when money becomes involved.

In a response video uploaded on a much smaller platform, Awit Gamer denied most of the allegations, claiming that he only ever took what was agreed upon, and accused Whamos of painting him as the villain to control the narrative.

“Hindi ako ganun kasama. If I made mistakes, they were honest ones,” he said in Taglish, visibly emotional. “I was there from the start, and now I’m treated like trash.”

But Whamos doubled down, hinting at more “receipts” to come if Awit continues to deny what really happened. “I was silent for too long,” Whamos said, “but no more. People deserve to know who’s real and who’s just pretending.”

As fans wait for more details to unravel, this messy fallout serves as a cautionary tale about fame, friendship, and finance in the social media age. Will the two ever reconcile? For now, it seems the bridge between them is burned—and the scars run deep.
