HushPuppi is being dragged for defrauding almost 2 million people. Don't be surprised that there is someone in Abuja currently defrauding over 200 million people— Omo kiikan 💙 (@OmoKiikan) June 25, 2020
You can’t be making illegal moves and still want to be showing off on social media, it will raise eyebrows. That’s what finished Hushpuppi.I wonder if he read about what happened to Pablo Escobar when he attempted becoming a public figure.

IF you spend 1million naira everyday,
It will take you 460 years and to finish 168billion naira.
In other words,
He, his child and grandchild can all spend 1million naira everyday till they die and not be broke.
Hushpuppi should die in jail.
