YouTube

In April 2008, Aleem Iqbal created his first YouTube channel. However, he rarely posted to it. [5] He eventually created his 'Lord Aleem' YouTube channel in December 2012. [1] As of September 10, 2017, Iqbal has acquired 329,000 subscribers. [1]

On April 24, 2013, he uploaded a video of him purchasing a 2013 Ferrari 458 Spider from his local dealership, The Torque Project. The video is one of his most popular ones, as it has generated over 2.5 million views. [6]

Bread Project (Syria)

Aleem has made philanthropic efforts to help Syrian refugees. In 2016, he raised £28,766 (~$38,000) for his 'Bread Project' in an attempt to provide 2.1 million meals for Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre. [8]

Controversy

In 2013, Aleem was fined after being caught using a mobile phone at the wheel of a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Phantom.[17]

In 2017, Aleem was banned from driving for 12 months after being convicted of speeding offences while driving a Rolls-Royce Wraith.[17]

Aleem's £240,000 Ferrari 458 Spider was pictured after smashing into a wall in Burnley. He later said he wasn't behind the wheel and had loaned the car to a friend.[17]

In December 2017, he was involved in a car crash while driving his white Audi Q7 in Birmingham.[17]

In May 2018, his car, Mercedes G-Class crashed into parked cars and caused a fracas.[17]
