Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, has publicly responded to allegations that he used Artificial Intelligence to fabricate a video showcasing a lavish lifestyle.
The controversy began when a TikTok user, known as #ihatebenn_, accused the UK-based pastor of digitally manipulating footage to create a false image of affluence.
The claims surfaced after reports that Adegboyega had acquired a Lamborghini Revuelto, a luxury vehicle estimated to cost around £580,000.
A video showing the pastor stepping into the high-end car quickly went viral, drawing both admiration and skepticism.
However, in a TikTok post that gained traction on Friday, #ihatebenn_ cast doubt on the video’s authenticity. The user pointed out visual inconsistencies particularly a Jeep in the background that appeared distorted and alleged that the clip was entirely generated with AI tools to mislead viewers.
In response, Pastor Adegboyega released a video statement, dismissing the claims as baseless. “TikTok is going to raise the next level of dummies,” he said, brushing off the accusations. “We don’t have to edit or AI a G-Wagon.”
The pastor did not provide further evidence to counter the claims but appeared unfazed by the controversy.
The incident has ignited a broader debate about the use of AI in social media and how digital tools can be used to create or question perceptions of wealth and influence.
