Really sad to see too because he's just hurting his own survivability by throwing his money away.
Also could likely be a scammer looking for another pay day to sue someone.
We had a guy at work who was bipolar and went off his meds... He was let go because of his behavior and he began stalking a female coworker both in office and out of office after they tried counseling several times.
He swears he is both the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and the legitimate president of the United States. He literally just goes around filming his insane interactions with the public because he nows thinks hes a social media star... It's a shame cause he wasn't the smartest guy in the world but he was pleasant to deal with prior to him leaving his illness untreated.
Sounds like an ex who decided to buy multiple therapy dogs, when 1 wasn't enough, because she decided to stop taking her head meds against her MDs advise.
One Christmas a man pulled up in a semi to my Granny's house out in the country. We came out to see why there's a semi in Granny's yard. Guys starts screaming "WHO DRIVES THAT TRUCK?!!!! BRING THE MAN OUT THAT DRIVES THAT FUCKING TRUCK!!!! IM GONNA KILL HIM!!!!!!!" We're all taken aback. My big country cousin walks up and says "Sir can I ask why you wanna kill my uncle?" He yells "HE'S SLEEPING WITH MY WIFE! IM GONNA KILL THE MAN THAT DRIVES THAT TRUCK!!!!" My cousin yells "Hey! Uncle J!!! Are you sleeping with this mans wife?!" And my uncle yelled from the porch "I don't sleep with my own wife, why the hell would I want his?!!!!" A call to the police later as the man refused to leave and I think kept saying he had a gun on him, it was revealed that the man was schizophrenic, off his meds, lived with his mother and had neither a gf nor had he ever been married.
Believe it or not, not all "mental issues" are quirky traits that can be summed up in a starter pack like stimming and being chronically late to everything. You're not gonna see the ones about having BPD and manipulating the people you're close to, or schizophrenia admitting to embarrassing things they do and think.
Mental disease doesnt automatically make someone an asshole, but it will absolutely potentiate it to astronomical levels if they are. We cant claim we want something done about the poor care for mental health in the country but then gatekeep it out when it's scary to witness like a homeless guy attacking people in the subway. Someone tossing their own money to the ground, picking fights with guys a foot taller, and risking a criminal record goes beyond being the occasional loud jerk.
Thank you for this insight. Watching this made me sad for him especially since he seems to be having a break from reality. It sucks that people are so judgemental. I hope he gets the help he needs.
It's a very aggressive store. I mean, you walk by a store and you see 50 guys who look just like this guy fighting over very complicated shirts, you go in. Yes, you do. You go in.
I imagine if it's supposed to be Versace it's probably fake, like you said why is he getting money at Walmart and he is wearing track pants and cheap wired headphones lol
i found out the other day, some people prefer the wires. i was watching a video w/ a rich celeb who said she never wears wireless cuz she loses them.
can't speak to the versace, whether it's fake or not. it does look like he threw said money all over when he left.
I prefer the hardwired connection. Bluetooth glitches occasionally. Plus there's no need to charge them. I have a pair of in-ear monitors I got for $20 that outperforms my DeWalt earbuds.
Did he say he was King of the Congo, the richest country in the world when he got those $40?
I've worked briefly in DR Congo, and I'm not sure what he's proud of...
It's not about tolerance. Someone getting that close, aggressive, and flailing their hands in your face can certainly be a threat. I've seen too many videos of sucker punches to let someone get that close to me like that.
Just to clear up a misconception, Texas is dead middle of the pack (\~45%) when it comes to gun ownership. There are 24 states with higher percentage, 14 over 50%.
The Elijah and Congo comments made me think a manic episode. Dude needs help, not violence.
Despite how uncomfortable their actions are, these folks are far more likely to be harmed than to harm anyone else.
That’s what I was thinking too. It seems a lot like a bad manic episode. Like pushy, narcissistic shitty people are obnoxious and kind of have that “don’t know who I am” vibe but they’re not super showy because they want to get the upper hand and not get called out for looking like a jerk. I think this guy was dealing with untreated mania or schizophrenia.
I don’t think he’s crazy, he hit a time portal and got planted here in this time from the 80s. I’d be scared and angry and confused and wanting my money too.
They are so wild and saddening. I had a friend who is bipolar who was very normal, very happy nice person who was always so helpful. She started having financial troubles/life troubles and just snapped. Ended up breaking into an apartment that she thought was her boyfriends and had the cops called on her. She ended up a psych hospital for a few days, discharged on Seroquel. She was a bit more normal but still more energetic and had wild ideas.
I went to her apartment one time to help get her life straightened out. The apartment was a complete mess. Had biblical scripture written all over her mirrors. Fridge had rotting food. She had a “shire” dedicated to all things blue. Just weird stuff and not like her. It’s such a saddening disorder.
As a bipolar that's unmedicated, I promise you that more restraint than this is feasible. You can blame the condition to an extent. However, you can also just be a "bad person" and these sorts of highs bring out this quality. For example, I naturally tend to be polite and accommodating. When given an over whelming drive towards action, I remain polite and accommodating, I just behave in self-destructive fashion aswell. This guy's just an asshole, and becomes more of an asshole when given enough drive.
Mentally ill people self destruct in different ways. I'm bipolar 1 with psychotic features and when I was at my worst I also drank a lot and i behaved like a massive jerk when I was manic. I was also delusional and convinced everyone was out to get me and everyone was constantly watching me which caused me to act out in ways that make no sense to a mentally stable person. I don't even remember a lot of it and I'm surprised I never wound up in jail because of the things I did.
But when I'm not drinking and not manic I would be the most accommodating person and let people walk all over me bc I can't say no, I hate attention, I'm a massive people pleaser, I absolutely hate conflict, etc. It's like night and day. The person I was when I was manic and drinking and at my rock bottom and who I am now and before is like two completely different people in every way.
Edit- not that I disagree that someone can also be a bad person as well as mentally ill and the illness doesn't make the behavior okay. Too many people definitely use it as an excuse. I just think it's hard to tell if a mentally ill person is acting like this just bc they're mentally ill or are also a bad person on top of being mentally ill
So sad! Society needs more training on how to deal with people in crisis. I understand why he pushed him it’s just sad seeing the look of shock on his face, he’s really fuckin out of it. Too bad hugs don’t have the same effect as violence.
I know it's a nitpick, but drugs can absolutely trigger manic episodes, so it's not necessarily correct that he is just lacking drugs. You are definitely correct that it's mania though.
Thing is, there's so many Tik Tok cocks doing this dumb shit, nobody knows if it's a genuinely crazy person or just some attention seeking idiot. If I was there with my kids, I'd be shutting him up too. And I'd also be looking for his friend who's filming the whole show.
If I was with my kids I’d be getting out of there asap before they take this tussle to the parking lot and you have to duck for strays while strapping the baby in.
Absolutely manic. He’s trying to take all the money out of his bank it sounds like, delusions of grandeur, god-like confidence, loud colorful clothing. Manic episode to a T
Yeah for sure he's manic. Had a guy that lived on my street when I used to live in London and he was pretty much the same. There's only so much the public can take before somebody snaps.
I have no godamn clue either, all I know is that this guy is just being loud and very annoying at a Walmart. I don’t know what he actually getting angry about.
I think he's mistaking the Congo for some other country, because it most certainly is not the richest country in the world lol, not by a long shot unfortunately.
This is just an average day in a Texas Walmart.
But seriously this guy is suffering from mental illness, this isn’t really “main character” stuff at all.
If you want to meet a ‘main character,’ a person experiencing a manic episode claiming to be both Elijah from the Bible while simultaneously being the prince of the Congo has to fit the bill.
He’s kinda been doing this for years now. Met him once in Fort Worth, was a nice guy but he’s adamant about being a prince from the Congo.. tis crazy to see the manic version of him

"Guess who I did this for? All you motherfuckers" \*Throws money\* Ok, that's odd.
hes gonna regret that when it comes time to pay his rent
He is the prince of the congo. He has money /s
Alright, Prince, well right now you’re at the Walmart with the rest of us
"The richest country in the wooooorld!!!!!"
so this is the prince who’s been emailing me?
He’s also Elijah from them Bible mother fucker
Well he'll be living free in my head the rest of today. But tomorrow he's on his own YOU FUCKS!
Probably having a manic episode
100% he has some grandiose and divine titles, which is a sign of a manic episode
Really sad to see too because he's just hurting his own survivability by throwing his money away. Also could likely be a scammer looking for another pay day to sue someone.
For sure. This guy needs some lithium.
Where do I stick the batteries?
This isn't just mania.
Totally agree
I almost pepper sprayed a guy on a manic episode once before. Glad it didn’t play out.
Takes a lot of patience and understanding for you not to do that. Cant say i would have done the same
Seems super coked up
People in manic episodes often do things they normally wouldn't, including drugs. Could be both
Bro came straight out of the 90s with that shirt.
He's dressed like a court jester. Maybe that's why he's such a clown
As colorful as he looks he might have a tinge of mental issues

Yeah, my first thought was the headphones may drown out the voices.
Also being the prince of Congo and Elijah.
Mental illness like this often has some element of grandiosity.
Congo, the richest nation in the world
[удалено]
Or he could just be on some good shit. It happens.
Thank you for this insight. Watching this made me sad for him especially since he seems to be having a break from reality. It sucks that people are so judgemental. I hope he gets the help he needs.
He’s pissed he missed the backup dancer audition for Paula Abdul’s tour.
Straight Up!!
Ooh ahh he don’t play by rules…
He’s a cold hearted SNEK
The shirt is the best thing about him
I actually really enjoyed his shirt
Bernie Mac early stand up shirt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JkPx0gk6LE&t=6s (NSFW)
Could use that shirt for a test during the eclipse.
Maybe he’s been locked up since ‘97 & hasn’t been able to readjust since doing all that time 👮♀️
That’s more 91, 92.
“Ackshully” #☝️🤓
Lol upvoted you. Yes I did.
In all fairness, you’re damn right that’s much more of an early ‘90s design (I just couldn’t picture that dude being over 50)
I felt attacked, then looked at the calendar while taking my BP medicine.
Blast from the past!
🥦 haircut tho?
Maybe he's a confused time traveler.
The patterns are complicated
Definitely, this one time I saw a two thousand dollar shirt at Dan flashes, the patterns were so wild.
This shirt costs $500 OUT THE DOOR and the patterns aren’t even that complicated.
The dress shoes and track pants really put the outfit together.
It was in the bargain bin at Dan Flashes…still nuts!
That’s why he’s taking all his money out. Gotta go buy another shirt from Dan Flashes.
It's a very aggressive store. I mean, you walk by a store and you see 50 guys who look just like this guy fighting over very complicated shirts, you go in. Yes, you do. You go in.
Straight from another world from which he should return…
I think it’s an older Versace shirt, but why go to peasantville AKA Walmart to withdraw money?
I imagine if it's supposed to be Versace it's probably fake, like you said why is he getting money at Walmart and he is wearing track pants and cheap wired headphones lol
i found out the other day, some people prefer the wires. i was watching a video w/ a rich celeb who said she never wears wireless cuz she loses them. can't speak to the versace, whether it's fake or not. it does look like he threw said money all over when he left.
I prefer the hardwired connection. Bluetooth glitches occasionally. Plus there's no need to charge them. I have a pair of in-ear monitors I got for $20 that outperforms my DeWalt earbuds.
He said “get ALL of my shit out now!” and they handed him two notes 😂😂😂
“That’s what I did this for, all you motherfuckers”, the 2 notes land right at the fat dude he was screaming at hahah
Did he say he was King of the Congo, the richest country in the world when he got those $40? I've worked briefly in DR Congo, and I'm not sure what he's proud of...
The dude *was* kinda dressed like a guest on the Arsenio Hall Show.
The Gif is from coming to America. Arsenio plays the prince’s friend and whipping boy.
The royal penis is clean
Tbf congo is the richest country resource wise. As in natural resources and minerals.
Often resource rich countries are among the most corrupt.
*prince
Yesss!!! About $40????
I don’t blame the guy for pushing him, I couldn’t tolerate someone in my face like that
Lmao I love the panic when he realized he might find out XD "Give me my fuckin money now I gotta go!"
His eyes got HUGE after that shove
he **did** almost get blasted through the counter
Just because you are mentally ill, doesn’t mean you have lost your sense of self preservation. Crazy people know when to back off.
Obligatory - MENTAL HEALTH ISN'T YOUR FAULT PEOPLE, BUT IT IS YOUR FUCKING RESPONSIBILIY.
It's a reason, not an excuse
You know that shit didn't feel good either lmao. That push has some power
That was the push of someone who's ready for more lol
It's not about tolerance. Someone getting that close, aggressive, and flailing their hands in your face can certainly be a threat. I've seen too many videos of sucker punches to let someone get that close to me like that.
Chael Sonnen endorses this message.
I can’t let you get close!!
WANNOW?! WANNOW?!
Fuckin amateur
Same, most people would just hit you or get into a shouting match with each other
It’s Texas. Very likely white dude is carrying and you don’t want someone like that (or anyone really) within your draw range for several reasons.
You think your puny Earth weapons can harm him?? He is clearly Elijah from the Bible, you fuck.
AND don't forget - Prince of the CONGO - greatest country on EARTH!!!
Didn't he say richest sir? Please come correct when you address his greatness
Biblical Elijah definitely banks at Walmart.
When they roll back prices on chariots of fire...
Just to clear up a misconception, Texas is dead middle of the pack (\~45%) when it comes to gun ownership. There are 24 states with higher percentage, 14 over 50%.
Dude pussied out real quick after that shove
Notice how the MC bitched out and immediately accepted he had that coming lol. No "call the police" or retaliation.
I’ll give him that at least, he knew right after that push dude wasn’t playing
Dude got a reality check when he got shoved and still acted like a fool
I can’t let you get close - MMA GOAT
Sir this is a Walmart
At the Walmart doing Walmart things.
My first thought was "A bank at Walmart? Interesting. On the East Coast, we keep our crazy people banks in the Stop n Shop!"
5150
Absolutely. He needs help.
I'm curious, what is that?
It's the code for an involuntarily detaining someone in a psychiatric hospital for 72-hours because they're a danger to themselves or others
oh wow, cheers
The Elijah and Congo comments made me think a manic episode. Dude needs help, not violence. Despite how uncomfortable their actions are, these folks are far more likely to be harmed than to harm anyone else.
Ya I had a friend that would have manic episodes very similar to how he’s behaving in the video, it’s really sad to see.
The Poor guy is crazy . But the " Hit him again" from the person in crowd was funny.
Right? Lol and the one lady in the distance. "Beat his ass"
She’s got an idea worth considering
Let’s take a vote
All on board, say "Aye" All opposed, I did this for all you ^Mothafuckas!
Poor? He’s from the richest country in the world!
Can’t even be sure the dude is crazy. Might just be an asshole.
Really seems like a manic episode. High energy and won’t stop moving, delusions of grandeur, trying to take out all of his money
That’s what I was thinking too. It seems a lot like a bad manic episode. Like pushy, narcissistic shitty people are obnoxious and kind of have that “don’t know who I am” vibe but they’re not super showy because they want to get the upper hand and not get called out for looking like a jerk. I think this guy was dealing with untreated mania or schizophrenia.
Straightjacket on aisle 1 coming up...
I don’t think he’s crazy, he hit a time portal and got planted here in this time from the 80s. I’d be scared and angry and confused and wanting my money too.
No way he's from the 80s. He said he's from Congo, the richest country in the world, so he has to be from the future.
Prince of the congo* (details matter)
I dunno man. One of my best friends in highschool had a schizophrenic break and it looked a lot like this
[удалено]
His name is ELIJAH like from the BIBLE, you FUCK!
You don’t remember the f-bomb in all the scriptures?
If you read the Old Testament, Jesus fucking loves dropping f bombs
It's the trailer for Eddie Murphys 'Coming to America 3' 😅
That’s not main character. Thats unmedicated bipolar having a manic episode. He’s going to crash hard and it’s going to be ugly.
I agree , everything about this points to a manic episode. I've seen them in person.
Yeah. The religious mentions/delusions are a perfect indicator
They are so wild and saddening. I had a friend who is bipolar who was very normal, very happy nice person who was always so helpful. She started having financial troubles/life troubles and just snapped. Ended up breaking into an apartment that she thought was her boyfriends and had the cops called on her. She ended up a psych hospital for a few days, discharged on Seroquel. She was a bit more normal but still more energetic and had wild ideas. I went to her apartment one time to help get her life straightened out. The apartment was a complete mess. Had biblical scripture written all over her mirrors. Fridge had rotting food. She had a “shire” dedicated to all things blue. Just weird stuff and not like her. It’s such a saddening disorder.
That’s really saddening. I hope your friend finds peace and gets the help she needs.
I grew up in a house with this. The other sides of bipolar are not any prettier.
The misery loves company, and the mania is just plain scary.
Damn right its gonna end like Jessy from saved by the bell. 🕺”I’m so excited!” 🎶
OK, but let’s remember she was abusing diet pills lol
Caffeine*

Well if you’ve never seen it before, this is mania. Contrary to popular opinion in this thread, he’s actually lacking drugs.
Correction. The “right drugs” since many drugs and initiate a manic phase lol
I know it's a nitpick, but drugs can absolutely trigger manic episodes, so it's not necessarily correct that he is just lacking drugs. You are definitely correct that it's mania though.
100%. Drugs can absolutely trigger mania which possibly lead to psychosis. He stated he’s “Elijah from the Bible” but that could just be the mania
This doesn't happen at Target.
Truest shit I’ve heard bruhhh
That’s why you pay more at target
 Idiots!!!
Savages!
Thing is, there's so many Tik Tok cocks doing this dumb shit, nobody knows if it's a genuinely crazy person or just some attention seeking idiot. If I was there with my kids, I'd be shutting him up too. And I'd also be looking for his friend who's filming the whole show.
Even if just attention seeking idiots I’d still call that genuinely crazy. No one in their right mind would do something like that.
If I was with my kids I’d be getting out of there asap before they take this tussle to the parking lot and you have to duck for strays while strapping the baby in.
Life flashed before his eyes
This is what Coming to America 2 should've been
Meth?
Possibly. I'd say manic though. He seems too lucid and not shaky really in the right way. Maybe coke mixed in.
Absolutely manic. He’s trying to take all the money out of his bank it sounds like, delusions of grandeur, god-like confidence, loud colorful clothing. Manic episode to a T
Def manic episode
Yeah for sure he's manic. Had a guy that lived on my street when I used to live in London and he was pretty much the same. There's only so much the public can take before somebody snaps.
… it’s not relevant… but is his name Cedric or Elijah?
Well it certainly ain't Arnold, the actual Prince of Congo lol
What in the Arsenio Hall is he wearing?
His eyes got wide when he got pushed
He needs mental help.
Umm what's happening?
I have no godamn clue either, all I know is that this guy is just being loud and very annoying at a Walmart. I don’t know what he actually getting angry about.
Yeah that push set his ass straight.
I think he's mistaking the Congo for some other country, because it most certainly is not the richest country in the world lol, not by a long shot unfortunately.
It’s in regards to Congo having the most untapped resources. I don’t know if that’s true but I’ve heard that before lol.
We need more proactive and effective mental health care in this country.
The new Coming to America movie doesn't seem as good as the original.
This is just an average day in a Texas Walmart. But seriously this guy is suffering from mental illness, this isn’t really “main character” stuff at all.
If you want to meet a ‘main character,’ a person experiencing a manic episode claiming to be both Elijah from the Bible while simultaneously being the prince of the Congo has to fit the bill.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by significant alterations in perception, thoughts, mood and behavior
He’s kinda been doing this for years now. Met him once in Fort Worth, was a nice guy but he’s adamant about being a prince from the Congo.. tis crazy to see the manic version of him
Coming 3 America sucks
This.. is why.. I don't leave the house.
Why I don't go to Walmart at least.
This is what happens when all the mental hospitals get shut down. All the mental people are thrown into the streets to do this kind of shit.
So ummm we’re still against institutionalization in this country???
Yeah not sure he's a main character, probably having a mental break
I miss the days where people with mental disabilities didnt have thousands of people watch their breakdowns online.
This is more mania/ schizophrenia than main character syndrome.
White devil about to whoop that ass too. And made him rethink his crazy act
A lot of textbook signs of untreated manic episode being shown here
