Beau, who shot to fame in the 2010s as the frontman of prankster group The Janoskians, has taken to Instagram in recent days to share a string of troublesome posts asking for monetary donations.
In a video which prompted an influx of worried messages, Beau, 31, asked fans to 'empty their accounts' to help him raise $1million via an alleged 'fundraiser' for an unexplained 'mission'. He refused to give any more details on the supposed religious 'mission' and asked his 420,000 followers to have 'faith', prompting fans to express their concerns for his wellbeing. Beau, who has been sober for 493 days, also referred to himself as the 'white Kanye [West]' in a comment before criticising his fans for 'choosing money over faith'.
Fans were quick to share their worries, while some also left messages on his brothers' Luke and J.
