Rashed Belhasa aka Money Kicks Almost Got Kidnapped In London For Being A “Rich Dubai Kid”
Apparently in London, Money Kicks has two million dollars of ransom on his head. WHAT?!
Recently, the famous Emirati Youtuber/boxer took a star-studded trip to London. Unexpectedly, in a style different from his usual vlogs, he took to Youtube to talk about a kidnapping attempt which he managed to safely get out of thanks to his quick-thinking friends and resourceful team.
He meant for the video to be a warning to all people from the middle east visiting the UK. “London is very nice, but you have to be careful,” he says, cautioning people to avoid sharing their location or immediate whereabouts on their social media.
“It was a crazy experience, I still get goosebumps”
Before leaving for London, Money Kicks had received a lot of messages warning him about the rampant robberies that take place in the capital city.
It happened late at night. Money Kicks along with a few members of his crew went to chill at a restaurant late at night. Even though he told everyone around him not to post about the night to avoid sharing the location, the Youtuber mistakenly posted a picture of his baklava.

They all believed that the three guys were just fans but of course, his security team got vigilant. The three individuals made Money Kicks sit in a dark van with tinted windows. They had come in two cars.
Of course with his security teams and friends Big Shaq and Michael Daapah who were on high-alert, Money Kicks was safely rescued and the attempt at his kidnapping was botched.
“You don’t have to keep looking over your shoulder when walking around in Dubai unlike in London”
Money Kicks iterates to “be careful, be smart” and to not “post where you are on social media”. Apparently, he posted a picture of his car and it got stolen the next day. He concluded that he was being watched every second.
He highly praised the leadership of the UAE. “When I came back I wanted to kiss the floor.
“We can walk around safe here. We were never see this stuff in Dubai, Alhamdulillah it’s such a blessing.”
