Forget everything you thought you knew about street begging. In a jaw-dropping viral clip that has Lagos buzzing, the infamous 'Lekki Street Boy' has hit back at his army of online critics with a boast that left everyone speechless: he's not just a beggar, he's a *high-net-worth* beggar with style.
The man, whose real name remains unknown but whose face is familiar to anyone who follows Lagos celebrities, is notorious for his unapologetic hustle. His M.O.? Track down A-list stars at exclusive clubs, parties, and events to ask them directly for money. While social media trolls have endlessly mocked him as the "ultimate beggar," he has now clapped back with receipts that scream luxury.
"Do you think is poor man begging I'm doing?" he defiantly questioned in the now-viral video. "Yesterday alone, I spent ₦250,000. I wanted to beg someone inside a club, so I had to buy a shot of Azul [tequila] for ₦70,000, and I bought three."
If your jaw is on the floor, just wait. He claims this is just a regular night out for his 'business.'
"Sometimes I spend up to ₦400,000 just to get access to beg," he bragged. "I dey spend this much to meet with celebrities. I spend people's salary just because I want to meet celebrities and beg."
The Method Behind the Madness
His shocking confession has sparked a fierce debate online. Is this sheer madness or a ruthless business strategy? The 'Lekki Street Boy' operates on a simple principle: to access the wealthy, you must look and spend like you belong. By purchasing expensive bottles at upscale clubs, he bypasses the bouncers and gains entry into the inner circles of Nigeria's rich and famous.
Whether you see him as a shameless hustler or a tragic symptom of a broken system, one thing is clear: he has mastered the art of staying relevant. By turning his critics' mockery into a viral marketing tool for his own brand of 'luxury begging,' the Lekki Street Boy has proven that in today's world, any attention can be converted into capital. And for now, he's laughing all the way to the bank—or at least, to the next VIP section.
