Before the performance, another person said, “You need go to Nigeria and stay for a month and soak up the culture and learn about Him!” With a third one in the works, I simply wish Hushpuppi will be replaced by a biographical series about one of our successful, honest, and industrious young people in Nigeria.
Hushpuppi has been Sentenced to 11 Years in Jail
Ramon Abbas, as Hushpuppi, gained notoriety by boasting about his opulent lifestyle to his more than 2 million followers on Instagram. The influencer was detained in Dubai, however, in 2020 after it was discovered that he had laundered money from numerous sources, primarily Americans.
He was extradited to the US, where he entered a guilty plea last year, to stand trial there in July 2020. The con artist was given an 11-year prison term in addition to a $1.7 million reparation judgement from a California court. Hushpuppi will finish serving his nine-year sentence after serving two years in prison already.
The official court document stated that Abbas used his social media platforms to gain notoriety and to boast about the enormous wealth he had amassed through engaging in business email compromise scams, online bank heists, and other cyber-enabled fraud that financially destroyed a large number of victims and helped the North Korean regime.

The story “Murder Was the Case” is amazing. Snoop was battling for his freedom in court while releasing the biggest album in the nation. The only way to experience this breathtaking journey is via G-Unit Film & Television. I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Snoop to make it a television show. Curtis said at the moment, “#GLG.”
