For the past few months, the young Twitter star has been filmed in the hospital with his mother China as he battled autoimmune enteropathy, a condition that attacks the intestines and obstructs the body’s capacity to ingest nutrients.
“Unlike normal infants, Antwain was unable to drink milk, or eat solid foods during his earlier childhood,” read his GoFundMe report.
Antwain was diagnosed with the rare condition in July 2015, a few days after his first birthday and has undergone over 25 surgeries.
“Where we bout to eat at?”
Antwain became a global personality through his four-second “where we bout to eat at” clip, where he was filmed asking his mother what was lined up on the menu while sinking into a car seat.
As of the time of his death, the video had so far amassed over 24 million views and a further 240,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, AntwainsWorld.
Since the short but hilarious clip went viral, Antwain and his mother have continued to share comic videos about their day to day life despite the young one fighting the crippling disease.
Another of Antwain's most famous clips is called “is that me?” where he is seen pointing at a camera while questioning if the child in the reflection is him.
