Loffredo documents his transformation on Instagram through his account, The Black Alien Project, which has amassed more than 700,000 followers. After his most recent surgery, he shared an image of his stitched, bloodied hand, now missing two fingers, captioned, “I develop my inner peace.”
Reactions to his transformation are deeply divided. Some followers admire his dedication and courage, while others criticize the project as disturbing or disrespectful.
Despite the controversy, Loffredo remains committed. In a 2017 interview, he said a turning point came while working as a security guard, when he realized he wasn’t living the life he wanted. Since then, his transformation has become his life’s purpose.
