The Nigerian social media has been quite an interesting place to be since the beginning to the year 2020 seeing as there have been so many things to get people buzzing.

However, the topic that seems to be on the lips of many Nigerians is the fate of social media big boy, Ramon Igbalode Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi.

Hushpuppi was recently arrested alongside some of his crew members by the FBI and police in Dubai in June 2020. The young man who was known for his extravagant social media lifestyle was captured and the moment was caught on a video which has since gone viral.

Since the video of the supposed big boy surfaced on the internet, a lot of people have shared hot takes on the issue. While many people condemned his alleged criminal activities, seeing as he was said to have defrauded close to two million people and was involved in a N168 billion scam, others however seemed to be more upset that he was not low key on social media knowing that his money was questionable.

Since Hushpuppi’s arrest, some Nigerian celebrities have taken to social media to show solidarity, some of them include Bobrisky and actress Sotayo Gaga. Other celebs however have either kept mum or turned it to a teachable moment.

Today, we would be looking at 7 Nigerian celebrities who have been hung out with Hushpuppi.

1. Davido:

Top Nigerian music star, David ‘Davido’ Adeleke has not left anybody in doubt about being a rich kid and it comes as no surprise that he would also hang out with people who seem to have a lot of money.

“If I have to pick among the two old people who are our prime options (Buhari and Atiku) pls pick ATIKU, don’t say he chop our money before at least we or our parents didn’t commit sui*cide or turn internet beggars, we didn’t have to steal pants and endanger the lives of our women to survive, our economy was not in a standstill, our graduates didn’t have to go and explain what 5k can do in their life under giveaway posts on the internet. Please do what is right young and old people out there. Nigeria doesn’t need prayer, it needs right decisions.”
