Afrobeats artist, David Adeleke aka Davido, has disclosed that he wasn’t aware that Nigerian socialite Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi was a fraudster.
In a recent interview, Davido described Hushpuppi as his friend but distanced himself from his fraudulent dealings.
While expressing his solidarity with Hushpuppi, Davido blamed hardship in Nigeria as one of the factors that birth fraudsters in the country.
He said, “Hushpuppi is coming out soon. He lived life. To me, it is not worth it to be locked up. But let me not make excuses for them [fraudsters]. Some people are happy to ball for five years and that is it.
“In Nigeria, there is a kind of hardship you would face and you will be like, you know what? Let me ball for two years then I am good.
“People are like that. My prayers go out to him [Hushpuppi]. He was my friend. I just see him around, I never really knew what he was doing. But he lived a good life.”
