Hushpuppi Lifestyle
Hushpuppi lived an extravagant lifestyle, always flaunting his designer clothes, shoes and cars on Instagram. He enjoys wearing designer brands like D&G, Fendi, Nikki, Gucci etc. He has often accused some celebrities of wearing fake clothes which has caused feuds between him and these celebrities.
He was the subject of the 2017 song ‘Telli Person’ by Nigerian singer Timaya featuring Olamide and Phyno, with whom he had a long-running feud. This song had lyrics carefully directed at Hushpuppi accusing him of being a fraudster and a swindler. The song also pointed out his extravagance in clothes, instead of investing the money in profitable business. The song went as far as to predict that if he continued like this, he would soon be arrested by authorities. When Hushpuppi was finally arrested, this song was viewed as a prophecy fulfilled.

According to the FBI, Hushpuppi, along with others, defrauded a client of a New York-based law firm out of approximately $922,857 in October 2019.
On the day of his arrest in Dubai, detectives reportedly found more than 150 million dirhams (about $40 million) in cash, 13 luxury cars worth Dh 25 million ($7M), 21 laptops, 47 smartphones, 15 memory storage devices, 5 external hard drives and 800,000 emails of potential victims alongside suitcases full of cash.
