Nigerian entertainer Idowu Adeyemi, known professionally as Yhemolee, has voiced concern over the rising trend of online begging on social media. In a recent post, he observed that these platforms have become venues where individuals solicit financial assistance from strangers, often sharing their account numbers in the comments section of posts. Yhemolee noted that the main distinction between online beggars and those on the streets is simply access to internet data, allowing the former to reach a wider audience.
He expressed frustration, explaining that when he posts a picture, the first ten comments frequently contain account numbers. Yhemolee specifically criticized those who have “mastered the art of begging,” urging them to stop soliciting money from his posts. His remarks highlight the growing issue of online solicitation and raise questions about the authenticity and intentions of those seeking financial help.
Yhemolee rose to fame with his hit song “Mon Cheri,” featuring Chinko Ekun and Asake, and through roles in Nollywood films such as “Gangs of Lagos” and “Alakada: Bad and Boujee.” His comments on online begging have attracted attention, contributing to the broader discussion about responsible social‑media use. As platforms continue to evolve, users must remain aware of the potential risks and consequences of online interactions. Yhemolee’s remarks serve as a reminder to maintain a safe, respectful online environment where people can engage without feeling pressured or exploited.
