Seven-year-old Albert Ofosu Nketia from Ghana has become a global sensation after a viral video showed how he switched from crying to laughing in moments.

In an interview, his mother, Rosina, explained that the viral meme came about when Albert broke down in tears because he was denied yam for dinner but instantly started laughing as his grandma tried to comfort him by singing a funny song.

His uncle captured the moment on phone but never posted it. The video went viral after the uncle sold the phone and its new owner released it.
