Singer, Emma Chukwugoziam Obi, better known as Emma Nyra has come under attack for defending suspected fraudster, Hushpuppi by slamming Nigerians who rejoiced over his arrest.

Nyra took to Twitter to air her view over the arrest of Hushpuppi saying;

A lot of people are happy about what happened to Hushpuppi because he was oppressing them on social media. The truth is that rejoicing in his downfall is not gonna put money in your pocket. I’m tired of reading about someone else’s downfall. Let me jeje hustle my own.

Her opinion however did not sit well with many Nigerians on Twitter, who went on to heavily criticize the artiste for ‘supporting’ the suspected fraudsters.

That Emma Nyra tweet was carefully packaged sewage sprinkled with a little BS.

Emma Nyra this is Twitter not Instagram. Hushpupi defrauded people of billions of naira & you somehow think he should be hugged or given a pat on the back? The truth is that rejoicing on his downfall is cool no one will be his victim anymore. Hushpupi deserved everything he got. https://t.co/JFsyKw05ZS

Happy to say that I have never consumed any content with Emma Nyra’s name on it. I only sort of know this person exists because Fally Ipupa once mentioned her name on a track. Very happy to go through the rest of my life without hearing anything from this person.

There’s a difference between downfall and when justice is served.

Hushpuppi’s was “justice served”. Not a downfall at all.

Are you trying to tweet this in case Hushpuppi comes out early he would see that you’re among his ride or die and then dash you money?

Should not have thought of it sef. #Hushpuppi apologists are like closet rapists. You know they harbour bad intentions, they just haven’t had the opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

Downfall? Before someone can experience ‘downfall’ there must be an uplift…a man defrauded over a million humans/organisation (directly and indirectly), u think that is an uplift?

In other words, watching a criminal get punished for defrauding millions of people (one of the biggest frauds in history) is rejoicing in someone’s downfall?

I love you Emma but this ain’t it.

Twitter really need to start testing people’s IQ before verifying them. I’m so tired of seeing verified accounts posting senseless tweets

Downfall?
There is a difference between downfall and consequences.
People work hard for their money, they risk life and limb.
Construction workers climb precarious heights to do the job.
Miners go to precarious jobs do get work done.

Emma….he stole. Stoleeee! Stealing, fraud is a crime everywhere whether he was lowkey about it or not. Doesnt make it less of a crime. I expect you to know better!

A criminal sympathiser is a a potential criminal accomplice.

So Hushpuppi committed a crime and is being dragged and mocked for his crimes, but EmmaNyra abi EmmaKobo wants to guilty trip the people dragging a criminal.
😂 😂

1.9m people were defrauded of their hard earned money by Hushpuppi and his crew so that he can oppress people on social media and get the benefit of people like you & DaddyFRZ celebrating him. That is 1.9m families suffering from the actions of a thief you are codedly defending.

Downfall? You’re saying it like he saved the world before. Why won’t they rejoice? The people he stole from he, he was “rejoicing” with their money, please not everytime broke-shame. You really don’t understand how deep this goes. It’s not just Hush’s face, it’s we as a Nation.

Hushpuppi whose real name is Ramon Abbas and some of his associates were arrested early June by Dubai police and extradited to the United States same month.

They are accused of Business Email Compromises (BEC) scams and other schemes of which almost 2 million victims were defrauded of over N168 billion.
