Key Points
  • Nigel Farage earned at least £374,893 from Cameo videos endorsing extremist events and individuals.
  • His videos promoted memecoins and cryptocurrency tokens, with earnings from a US trip adding £27,800.
  • Farage's spokesperson defended the videos as non-political, while he declined to comment on future activity.

Nigel Farage has sold videos on the Cameo platform in which he endorsed a neo-Nazi event, repeated extremist slogans, and supported a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot, according to multiple reports. In one instance, Farage charged £155 for a video he made in 2025 for a man he was told had received a 16-month sentence for his involvement in a far-right riot, telling him to 'keep acting in the right way'. According to The Guardian - Main UK, Nigel Farage described the event by a Canadian neo-Nazi group as 'the best thing that ever happened' in a video for which he was paid £141. The specific extremist slogans or misogynistic remarks Farage repeated in these videos have not been detailed, and the full number of 'questionable' individuals or events he recorded for remains unclear.

Farage has charged a total of at least £374,893 for his videos on Cameo since he joined the platform five years ago, multiple reports indicate. His videos appear to have been used to drum up interest in memecoins, such as 'Stonks Finance', 'NIG Finance', 'Trump Mania', and 'Farage coin'. In another case, Farage charged £133 for a supportive message in which he told the makers of Celsius Network's CEL token to 'fight' for the product. According to The Guardian - Main UK, Nigel Farage described the need to 'fight for the product, if the technology is good enough, it will survive'. The full extent of Farage's earnings from Cameo and other outside interests since his election to parliament is not publicly known.

Keep acting in the right way.

Earlier last month, Farage pocketed £27,800 after flying to the US to address an anti-climate think tank with close ties to Donald Trump, according to major media reports. He had hoped to meet President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago complex in Florida, but the meeting didn't take place, the same reports state. This trip underscores Farage's ongoing political aspirations and connections in the United States.

A spokesperson for Nigel Farage said his Cameo videos 'should not be treated as political statements or campaign activity' and that he 'has long been clear in his opposition to extremism and political violence'. The spokesperson added that Farage used the Cameo platform 'in good faith and without knowledge of the individuals involved beyond what is written for him in the prompt' and that misuse of recordings is 'outside Mr Farage's knowledge or control'.

The best thing that ever happened.

When asked if he would continue to make Cameo videos, Farage declined to comment. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Nigel Farage described his refusal by saying, 'I will decline to comment on that', adding, 'I don't approve of things being published in national newspapers that have been illegally obtained.' The Guardian denied that any of the information had been illegally obtained. Whether Farage will resume selling Cameo videos in the future, and under what conditions, remains uncertain.

Nigel Farage's Cameo page states that 10,700 people were waiting for him to resume creating content, according to major media reports. The impact of this controversy on Farage's political standing and the Reform UK party's performance in the polls is not yet clear, as public reaction and potential electoral consequences are still unfolding.

Fight for the product, if the technology is good enough, it will survive.

I will decline to comment on that. I don't approve of things being published in national newspapers that have been illegally obtained.
