KAMPALA — Ugandan travel and lifestyle influencer Aleti Crystal has sent social media into meltdown after claiming she wants to beat up 1,000 men by 2027.
In a viral clip making the rounds online, Crystal says she is paid by women to confront men accused of cheating or abuse, and that she works with a group carrying out the confrontations.
But it was her jaw-dropping target that really set the internet on fire.
“We have set ourselves a bold goal of beating 1,000 men by 2027,” she reportedly says in the clip.
Crystal also claims the confrontations are usually requested by women who feel betrayed or mistreated by their partners.
“I’m paid by women to physically confront men who are cheating or abusing them,” she says in the widely circulated video.
The comments quickly triggered a storm online, with some people cheering her on as a symbol of empowerment, while others slammed the idea as dangerous vigilantism.
Legal observers have also pointed out that assault remains a criminal offence, regardless of motive, raising serious questions about whether such actions could land participants in legal trouble.
Still, the controversy has done exactly what viral internet drama does best — turning Aleti Crystal into one of the most talked-about names on Ugandan social media this week.
