Akinwale Oluwafolajimi Oluwatope Arobieke (15 July 1961 – 26 August 2025), commonly known as Purple Aki, was a British man known for his criminal convictions for harassment. He was convicted for touching and measuring the muscles of young men and asking them to squat his body weight.

Found dead in his flat.

Who's gonna waste time in the gym without Purple Aki to impress? I can see an entire industry closing.

Saw him knocking about in my home town a few times. I'd already heard the legend by then.

I spent years working out and he never even noticed me. My whole childhood was for nothing.

I've been going gym since January and now it was all for nothing.

I saw him once at Manchester Piccadilly bus station lol.

The legend will live forever.

So who else hails from the Liverpool arena on here then?

First Hulk Hogan, now this. All my heroes are soon to be gone.

Saw him once at Piccadilly Gardens tram stop trying to point out a cyclist to get his attention, was comical.

 

[Beretta]

Never heard of him but he sounds like a cunt.

 

[Burning Blade]

I'm so glad I'm old and don't know what the fuck this is about

 

[Gamer132]

Only Aki I acknowledge

 

[Major Insano]

Never heard of him but he sounds like a cunt.

He was a huge one. He harassed and stalked a teenage boy and the lad ran across some railway tracks, to get away from him, and got electrocuted by the third rail.

He was a real pos.

The bag! Yeah he always had a bag when I saw him. Steds and poppers is my guess

Yeah I'm defo never visiting the US either, because Pee Wee Herman was once alive there.

like you have a passport lolz

 

[Phobos Base]

Good riddance, the story sounds comical at first glance but the truth is a lot darker.

[Sticks]

I wish I didnt

 

[Hookshot]

I just chose a racist and a molester as a joke, but of course there are people out there more unhinged than me.

 

[Toots]

Purple aki is the strongest form of aki

 

[cormack12]

He was such an urban legend. Remember as a kid you would stories of him strapping a knife to his lash and carving P.A. on young boys ass cheeks he'd just bummed.

 

[RJMacready73]

he's definitely a name that was bandied about years ago in the UK, we even took the piss about him over here in Ireland

 

[BigDeadFreak]

It's a shame we never got to see him face off against Ronnie Pickering. I'm surprised the Saudis never made that fight.
