Prankster showers Sepp Blatter with fake cash at FIFA conference

The FIFA president Sepp Blatter walked out of a press conference after being showered with dollar bills by a British comedian.

Comedian Simon Brodkin, better known as his alter ego Lee Nelson, ran onto the stage to throw money at Blatter as he announced himself as a North Korean World Cup delegate, shouting that it was for a fake North Korea bid for the 2026 World Cup.

“This is nothing to do with football … we need to clean here first,” Blatter said before leaving the stage while Nelson being ejected from the building.

Blatter is just the latest victim of prankster Nelson, among his other infamous appearances such as interrupting Kanye West’s headline slot at the Glastonbury festival in June, attempting to board the England World Cup plane and joining Manchester City football team as they warmed-up ahead of a match in 2013.
