Function not triggering on scroll - ios

Question

I am trying to trigger a certain function in a collection view when I scroll. Basically Im trying to implement pagination so that when it scrolls to the bottom more items are loaded.
override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, willDisplay cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.item >= allEvents.count - 1 {
// print("paginating for post")
paginationHelper.paginate(completion: { [unowned self] (events) in
self.allEvents.append(contentsOf: events)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.collectionView?.reloadData()
}
})
}else{
print("Not paginating")
}
}
This is the entire Function

This is the function that is responsible for triggering the event but it seems to go to the else statement literally every time. Any insight would be helpful
