In a shocking and controversial move, Dr. Umar Johnson has taken to social media to solicit $500 donations from women for a chance to have a private lunch date with him, raising eyebrows and questions about his motives. The initiative, dubbed “Lunch with the Doctor,” promises participants a meal at any restaurant of their choice in Wilmington, Delaware, with the funds allegedly going toward his FDMG Academy, a school for Black boys that has faced significant financial scrutiny.

In a video that has quickly gone viral, Johnson boldly addressed his audience, urging women to contribute to his cause in exchange for a personal dining experience. “Ladies, you got to donate $500 to the FDMG Academy, and I will take you to lunch,” he declared, emphasizing that he would cover the meal. The audacity of this proposition has ignited a firestorm of criticism, with many accusing him of exploiting vulnerable women under the guise of community service.

Critics have pointed out that Johnson’s financial troubles have been well-documented, including frozen accounts and potential legal issues surrounding the operation of his school. Just weeks ago, he claimed his accounts were frozen and that he faced significant tax liabilities. This latest fundraising tactic has left many questioning whether this is a legitimate effort to support education or a desperate ploy to bolster his dwindling finances.

As the backlash grows, social media is ablaze with reactions, ranging from disbelief to outrage. Many are calling for accountability, demanding to know how donations are being used and whether they truly contribute to the intended cause. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated; as Johnson continues to push this controversial campaign, the implications for both his reputation and the community he claims to serve hang in the balance.
