I Bought a Property in Egypt” is a video that was posted by influencer Cam Easty, a.k.a. Cameron Eastwood or CamEasty, on August 12th, 2024.
“I bought a property in Egypt, and what they do for you is they give you the property.”
The sentence, by itself, is devoid of any logic and meaning, and it became a means to mock hustle culture in December 2024. The video soon became a hot trending meme on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok and joined the hot memes of January 2025, including Chopped Chin and Eye of Rah memes. The video became part of absurd videos that were characteristic of Instagram’s Hood Irony community.
