Nigerians on Twitter and other social media platforms are currently reacting to the unconfirmed arrest of Dubai-based flamboyant Nigerian, Ray Hushpuppi, a suspected ‘Yahoo Yahoo Big boy’ who claims to be a real estate developer.
Reports say Hushpuppi and his colleagues were arrested in Dubai by International Police (Interpol) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over alleged fraud.
They were allegedly involved in fraud and money laundering of over $100million which was supposed to be given to Native Americans during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
P.M.News has contacted Interpol UAE for confirmation of the arrest. It is still awaiting a response.
The young socialite and Instagram big boy had late last year changed his Instagram profile from the famous ‘the Billionaire Gucci master’ to ‘real estate developer’, following the arrest of fellow Instagram and Dubai based big boy, Mompha, by officials of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission.
However, Nigerians have started reacting to the news with some Nigerians saying Hushpuppi’s arrest will not come as a surprise with the way he was spending money lavishly and showing off, with source of income questionable.
Here are some of the reactions;
I'm happy that Hushpuppi has been caught.
Alot of young people wanted his levels OF questionable wealth, at least now they know there are consequences
Did you think his money was legit?
If you do, I have one cream to sell to you that enlarges your pinis with one single rub

Hushpuppi & Mr Woodbery amongst others have reportedly been arrested by Interpol & FBI in Dubai. People are distancing themselves even on IG. FF are reducing since last night.
If you ever thought his money was legit, then Glory Osei will continue to sell Slim Tea to you. 🙄
