Rapper, 24, who had £428k accidentally put into bank account goes on spending spree buying gold bars, clothes & make-up

A RAPPER bought gold bars, designer clothes and make-up on a huge spending spree when £428,000 accidentally dropped into his account.

Abdel Ghadia, 24, spent almost £341,000 on gold bullion in just one store before spending another £57,000 in a second shop, where he also got expensive coins.

His huge shopping trip in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia, began when an unnamed young couple in the final stages of buying a home accidentally sent money to him rather than the bank. 

When he was first arrested and asked if he had spent their money, he said: “No cuz.”

But Ghadia, known as Slimmy on YouTube, later admitted it and wrote rap lyrics about the case, posting: “Detectives making offers asking where'd the MONEY GO.

"They tapping all my phonecalls but I speak a different LINGO!!”

He also told police he "just woke up and saw the money";.

In his shopping spree, he also bought clothes from fashion firm Uniqlo, make-up from Mecca and got foreign exchange. 

He admitted two counts of dealing with the proceeds of at Burwood Local Court in Sydney on Wednesday. 

The couple were devastated when they learned their funds had not arrived in the designated account for settlement.

Strict bail conditions ban Ghadia from going near an international airport and he has a strict 10pm-7am curfew. He will be sentenced next month. 

Ghadia has released albums and performed at several venues. 

He was described as a humble young man with a great future in music as an artist and writer in a book about independent rappers. 

The 2018 book wrote: “He has taken the obstacles of life and put them into one frame which represents his years growing in south-west Sydney.

“Through his catalogue of music, people will understand him as a person and what he strives for.

“Whether he is in front of the mic or behind the scenes as a writer for others, either way, he will be great.”
