Student Raises Millions Of Naira For Homeless Man Who Looks Like Popular Musician (Photo+Video)

 

A student identified as Najma Abdilahi with the Twitter handle, @5tellaa has raised more £25,000 (Over 12 million Naira) for a ‘homeless’ Stormzy lookalike.

 

This was possible after she shared a video of the man’s reaction to being taunted on the street.

 

The man who looks like UK rapper, Stormzy is 29-year-old, Akwasi. He was filmed reacting calmly to a passer-by who tried to make fun of him for ‘looking like stormzy’.

 

In the viral video, a man who was behind the camera tells Akwasi: ‘Brother, I listen to all your songs’.

 

Akwasi quickly clarifies he’s not Stormzy, ‘I just look like him, I’m from the same country, everyone calls me Stromzy, but I’m not, I swear on my mum’s life. I’m out here begging.’ The man filming then gives Akwasi 5p.

 

The touching video was shared on social media by London-based student Najma Abdilahi, who said she was impressed by how he had remained ‘very calm’ and ‘very polite’ in the face of ‘disrespect’.

 

 

After the video went viral, a GoFundMe campaign was lauched by the student for Akwasi, and in just 24 hours, over £25,000 has been raised.
