Controversial cross dresser, Bobrisky, has said that he stands by the Nigerian, Hushpuppi, who was arrested in Dubai over allegations of making his money through internet fraud, also known as Yahoo.
The news that Interpol had arrested the flamboyant Instagram big boy, Hushpuppi, on June 9, generated huge reactions on the social media with many Nigerians celebrating it.
Bobrisky said via his Instagram that the Nigerians who celebrated the arrest of Hushpuppi were the biggest hypocrites.
“Many of us are just the biggest hypocrite ever !!! Before his arrest many of you are in his dm (direct message), comment section kissing his ass.
“But immediately you heard about his arrest your true self came out. If you don’t like him stand on your ground. Stop faking love when you see him and then go behind to call him names. To cut d story short be yourself and stop acting two face. I stand with @hushpuppi. Many of you will insult me under this post, but guess what I don’t care,” he said.
Fox news had reported the arrest of Hushpuppi for being among a Nigerian fraud syndicate who tried to $35millions from Americans.
In 2018, political activist, Deji Adeyanju, had called out Hushpuppi for not having any known means of livelihood, and asked the EFCC to arrest him. Hushpuppi later claimed he deals in Real Estate.
After Hushpuppi’s reported arrest, a social media influencer, @aproko_doctor, said: “I’m happy that Hushpuppi has been caught. A lot of young people who wanted his levels of questionable wealth, at least now they know there are consequences.”
Another tweet from @thesasquatch fumed: “Hushpuppi had the audacity to tell us he posts his flashy lifestyle to motivate me wey dey office dey wear suit and tie to work harder. God will judge him,” he said.
For @thahypocrite, he counseled other Nigerians: “The blessings of God maketh rich and added no sorrow. For all who tap into Hushpuppi blessings, do you also tap into the sorrowful part that is about to play out now. Get rich quick mentality kills. The average Nigerian wants to go to bed and wake up a #Hushpuppi! Be wise,” he said.
