Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has opened up about his past relationship with convicted fraudster and socialite Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.
In a recent podcast interview, Davido acknowledged their friendship but insisted he was unaware of Hushpuppi’s fraudulent activities.
Despite the controversy surrounding the former Instagram influencer, the singer expressed sympathy and hope for his eventual release from prison in the United States.
“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,” he said.
The “30 Billion Gang” boss claimed that the hardship in Nigeria was one of the factors influencing people to do illegal businesses to escape poverty.
