Background

Candy Godiva is a professional mukbang YouTuber. Mukbang is a profession that entails eating anything edible! Godiva indulges in making videos of herself feasting on fast foods and takeouts on her YouTube channel “Hungry Fatchick” which she launched over 10 years ago. Since then, her YouTube channel has gained popularity and currently boasts over 240,000 subscribers with over 50 million views. Since then, her YouTube career has been very successful and promising.

Godiva is of North American ethnicity. She was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the United States on September 18, 1972. Godiva’s grandparents brought her up in South Louisiana and she currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are not many elaborate facts about her. However, she has mentioned that she has a half-sister who she never had the luxury of knowing very well. She claims that her parents and grandparents were alcohol addicts. Godiva alleges that her mother had been jealous of her and describes their relationship as ‘toxic and neglected.’ She attributes part of her struggles to these constrained relationships and destructive habits. Ironically, she hinted that part of what made her decide to start making mukbang content was her struggles with her body image, weight loss, and depression. Godiva and her ex-husband were blessed with two children, a girl, and a boy, who currently stay with their paternal grandmother.

Interestingly, Godiva is a self-made internet sensation who took the YouTube space by storm. This mukbang understands the power of partnership as she has uploaded several mukbang videos featuring her fellow mukbang, Nikocado Avocado. At the time of this writing, their most recent joint mukbang upload titled “Fatburger Feast With Nikokado Avocado Mukbang” which was published on April 23, 2022, has attracted over 112,000 views. Notably, Godiva’s top three most popular uploads include “Massive Italian Feast Mukbang,” published on May 4, 2019, “Jollibee Mukbang Eating Show,” uploaded on October 15, 2017, and “Cooking and Eating Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Corn on the Cob Mukbang (Eat with Me)” published on April 9, 2017, have three million, 2.5 million and 1.2 million views respectively.
