It’s the kind of chaos you rarely see at 35,000 feet: an irate “rapper” recently sent a plane into disarray after claiming someone snatched his cash during a restroom break. In a video now making the rounds on Reddit, he’s seen standing in the aisle, exasperated, demanding answers from fellow passengers, and insisting that someone “took his money” while he was away. The scene is equal parts comedic and absurd, but as people are pointing out, it might be exactly what he intended.
After realizing his $5,000 cash stash was missing, the man unleashed a string of dramatic pleas, reportedly shouting, “OK, everybody listen up!” as if commandeering the plane in his own high-stakes thriller. His declaration that “nobody is leaving” the plane until the money’s returned left other travelers stunned, their expressions somewhere between disbelief and laughter.
One Redditor summed it up perfectly, joking that if they were carrying that kind of cash on a plane, they’d never dream of leaving it behind, not even for a quick trip to the restroom. Others joined in, pointing out that “even a stack of twenties” would fit in a pocket if he was serious about keeping it safe. Another user wryly commented on his logic: “Big baller should have flown 1st class, I guess.” The quips kept coming, with another adding, “Is it even possible to block a whole plane of people with just one guy in the aisle?”
But aside from the amusing one-liners, sleuths have started to dig deeper, and it seems the man’s outburst might not be as it seems. Turns out this clown is not only a rapper but a TikTokker by the name of Rek_banga who has repeatedly pulled this same stunt.
Regardless of the truth, the clip has certainly delivered the attention Mr. banga was hoping for. Whether or not anyone ever finds that missing $5,000 is another story entirely.
