Media personality Idowu Adeyemi popularly known as Yhemolee, has expressed dismay over the rising wave of online begging across social media platforms.

The father of one lamented their transformation from spaces of creativity and connection into hubs for financial solicitations.

In an Instagram post, he criticized users who flood comment sections with bank account details, seeking money from near-strangers, distinguishing them from street beggars only by their access to internet data.

Yhemolee, known for his 2020 hit “Mon Cheri” alongside Chinko Ekun and Asake, and roles in Nollywood films like Gangs of Lagos and Alakada: Bad and Boujee, called out those skilled in what he termed the “art of begging,” urging them to bypass his posts.
