Rich kid who was disrespectful to police officer apologises
Updated | By Poelano Malema
In 2016, a video of Lord Aleem, real name Aleem Iqbal, went viral, showing Aleem telling a police officer: "Why you looking at me? Trust me bro, my shoes are probably worth more than your wages."
Aleem received a lot of backlash from social media, with some even threatening to never watch his YouTube channel again.
But it seems Aleem has had a change of heart since the incident.
Speaking to CNN Money, Aleem said he got carried away and “would like to apologise to the police officers involved for the way the situation escalated.”
“I’m tired of being harassed by police just because I’m young and rich. Although that doesn’t excuse my behaviour towards the police officers in the video, I hope this paints a clearer picture as to why I reacted the way that I did,” he added.
