Afrobeats superstar Davido has finally broken his silence on his past association with internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi. In a recent interview that’s now trending across social media, the music icon revealed that he had no idea Hushpuppi was involved in fraudulent activities during the time they were publicly seen together.
“I didn’t know Hushpuppi was into fraud,” Davido said bluntly, clearing the air on years of speculation linking him to the disgraced Instagram celebrity. The singer, known for his hit songs and high-profile connections, emphasized that their interactions were purely social, like with many fans and personalities he encounters around the world.
The statement came during a wide-ranging conversation where Davido addressed fame, trust, and the downside of being in the public eye. He explained that as a global artist, it’s not unusual to take photos or hang out with people without fully knowing their backgrounds. “You meet a lot of people in this industry,” he said. “Sometimes you don’t know what they’re about. You just take a picture, maybe say hello, and keep it moving.”
Davido’s comments have ignited renewed interest in the infamous Hushpuppi saga, especially among fans who have long debated the nature of their association. While many have praised Davido for finally speaking out, others see the moment as an important lesson on reputation and due diligence in the entertainment space.
Since Hushpuppi’s arrest by the FBI in 2020 and subsequent extradition to the United States, several Nigerian celebrities have been scrutinized for their connections to him. Davido, however, maintained that he had no prior knowledge of any illegal activities and never had any business dealings with the now-jailed fraudster.
Social media has been buzzing since the clip aired, with hashtags like #DavidoSpeaks and #Hushpuppi trending across platforms. Supporters of the singer have come out in droves, praising his honesty and transparency. “That’s real talk,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Davido doesn’t owe anyone anything, but it’s good he addressed it head-on.”
While some critics remain skeptical, the majority of reactions have been positive, with fans emphasizing the importance of giving people the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
As the dust begins to settle, one thing is clear: Davido’s reputation remains intact, and his fan base continues to ride strong behind him. The interview serves not just as a moment of clarification but as a broader commentary on fame, association, and the price of public life.
