Is Hushpuppi Dead Or Alive?

There is no official report annoucing that Hushpuppi is dead, neither did Kemi Olunloyo tweet that Hushpuppi is dead, but the controversial journalist stated: “Your boy is dead oo… They won’t announce yet”, which had since gone viral with some new platforms quoting the evangelist to have claimed that Hushpuppi is dead.

This tweet did not mention the name of the boy Kemi claimed was dead and his death was yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Hushpuppi has been in detention since July 2020 alongside 11 of his associates over allegations bordering on hacking, impersonation, scamming, banking fraud, and identity theft.

The socialite's arrest was later linked to Abba Kyari after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released detailed documents explaining how Abba Kyari was working for Hushpuppi.
