Albert’s Family Denies Receiving Financial Support from Content Creators

The family of Albert, the 9-year-old Ghanaian boy whose viral meme has gained worldwide attention, has come forward to address rumors surrounding financial support. In an exclusive interview with GhPage, the family dismissed claims that they have received significant funds from global content creators who have used Albert’s image in their work.

Albert’s mother clarified that, despite numerous public promises and offers from various individuals and platforms, the family has yet to receive any actual monetary support—not even as little as GHS 1 or 1 naira. She expressed disappointment over the unfulfilled pledges and the misleading impression being spread online.

The family used the opportunity to shed light on Albert’s condition, revealing that he is living with autism. They emphasized that he requires specialized care, attention, and resources to support his well-being and development.

The widespread circulation of Albert’s meme has brought joy to many across the internet, but his family urges the public to look beyond the viral image and understand the real challenges they face. They hope that by setting the record straight, genuine support will follow and that Albert’s story will inspire more responsible and compassionate responses from those benefiting from his image.
