'I would never destroy real money,' he told his followers, 'I would never be so irresponsible.'
The entertainer shared a video of the apparent shredding on Twitter, captioning it "a platform for progress", using a phrase Beckham himself had used in a promotional campaign about the tournament in the Middle East.
Lycett set the former England footballer a deadline of midday on 20 November to take action after it was reported Beckham had signed a £10m deal with the Fifa World Cup hosts. The 2022 men's football World Cup has been shrouded in controversy due to issues around LGBT rights in Qatar, along with the host nation's treatment of migrant workers.
On Monday, it was confirmed that England, Wales and other European nations will not wear the OneLove armband at the World Cup because of the threat of players being booked.
