He was one of the more controversial characters on Married At First Sight during the 2018 season, and former star Nasser Sultan has sparked controversy once again after being busted with roughly 40,000 fake followers on Instagram.
Nasser previously put himself in the MAFS OnlyFans scandal involved with Domenica Calarco.
But now the spotlight is directed at him after Yahoo discovered Nasser’s Instagram account is mostly followed by robots, primarily based in Turkey and Iran.
He isn’t one to shy away from the spotlight.
(Image: Instagram)Statistics gathered through Social Blade found his following has progressively increased in a year from August 2021 and has more than doubled from 42,000 to 88,500 within the same time period.
The analysis suggests a sudden interest in his content as prior to August 2021, his Instagram account had no growth and gradually lost followers.
Despite the increase in followers, his engagement rate of his followers has not increased. An additional analysis using Hype Auditor revealed his engagement rate was 0.07 per cent, which was an average of only 62 followers liked his posts.
Nasser has since denied purchasing his followers which can be done through a variety of ‘follow farms’.
It remains unclear how all the bots have followed his Instagram.
(Image: Instagram)“If someone can buy me or show me how to obtain them I’ll be happy to take them,” he said to Yahoo Lifestyle.
“Maybe I should put out a video asking people to show me how? Because apparently if you have lots you can become an influencer.”
His drop in followers could be attributed to the end of MAFS hype after his season in 2018, where he had 70,000 followers in April 2018 when the show finished. But by October 2018, his following decreased to 40,000.
He was partnered with Gabrielle Bartlett on MAFS.
(Image: Instagram)Nasser’s online trolling could also be at cause as he openly comments or posts videos regarding controversial topics.
Despite his bad luck in MAFS Australia season 5, Nasser was determined to find love. In 2019, he applied for MAFS New Zealand and said he does “love the Kiwi girls.”
“The New Zealand show is more in its virgin stage, so I think it’s more genuine,” he told Now To Love.
“I could bring my personality and my experience.”
