Controversial broadcaster, Daddy Freeze, has explained the reason he cannot abandon jailed Internet scammer, Hushpuppi.
According to ‘The Nation’, in a recent video by Tunde Ednut, Daddy Freeze claimed Hushpuppi never gave him money but offered him friendship during a difficult time.
According to Daddy Freeze, their friendship began when he was invited to Dubai with other influencers.
At the time, he was facing rejection from his church and the public due to his #FreeTheSheepple movement.
He said Hushpuppi reached out to him via DM, inviting him to hang out and they spent time, taking pictures and sharing them on Snapchat.
Daddy Freeze questioned why he should be expected to abandon their friendship, stating that Hushpuppi was a friend when nobody else wanted to associate with him.
While acknowledging that he might have suspected Hushpuppi’s wealth was not legitimate, Daddy Freeze cited Davido’s lyrics, “dey for who dey for you,” which implies the importance of loyalty.
Hushpuppi, whose real name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, was arrested in June 2020, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by the Dubai Police.
He was accused of being a key player in a transnational cybercrime network that laundered hundreds of millions of dollars from business email compromise frauds and other scams.
Hushpuppi was later extradited to the United States where he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in money laundering and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.
