Popular On Air Personality and influencer, Daddy Freeze, has finally confessed to having a friendship with embattled Nigerian fraudster and socialite, Hushpuppi.
Hushpuppi, also known as Ramon Abbas, was arrested by the FBI in 2020 and convicted of internet fraud in the United States.
In 2019, Daddy Freeze had previously shared videos of his visit to Hushpuppi’s luxurious Dubai home on his YouTube channel.
Many social media users criticized Daddy Freeze for associating with a criminal and promoting Hushpuppi’s lavish lifestyle.
Despite defending himself in the past by claiming he was unaware of Hushpuppi’s criminal activities, Daddy Freeze has now publicly admitted to being friends with Hushpuppi, even though he had suspicions about the legitimacy of his wealth.
“Hushpuppi has never given me money before, not even $1. But Hushpuppi gave me friendship when nobody wanted to be my friend because they believed I was the devil.
“ The first time I met Hushpuppi was when I was picked with some influencers to go to Dubai, and I’d already started the movement then (#FreeTheSheepple) but the influencers didn’t like me. And that was the time the church that I attended for 10 years rejected me. Everybody rejected me. Then Hushpuppi sends me a DM that ‘where are you, come over’.
“So we hung out with some of our friends and we gist, took pictures, and put on his snapchat. So, why won’t I be friends with someone who was my friend, how am I going to be angry with him? I might have guessed that his money was not legit. But Davido in one of his songs said ‘dey for who dey for you”.
