Over the weekend, a Khaleeji Snapchat celebrity decided that the best way to celebrate Eid with his fans was by throwing money at them.

Not only that, he also had the moment captured on camera, filming his followers - who were gathered in the lobby of a hotel where he was staying - pushing and shoving to catch one of the bills. 

According to multiple Saudi news sites, the incident went down in a popular hotel located in Al Qaseem over the Eid weekend and came after the celebrity took to Snapchat to invite his fans to the hotel's lobby.

Despite speculation, the social media celebrity involved remains unconfirmed.

Footage capturing the event has since gone viral and it hasn't gone down well with thousands who criticized the star's actions, labeling them shameful and degrading.

The footage outraged thousands...
