Daddy Freeze Acknowledges Friendship with Hushpuppi: “He Supported Me During My Tough Times”.

On March 23, 2025, prominent On Air Personality and influencer Daddy Freeze has openly admitted to his friendship with Hushpuppi, a Nigeria-based socialite and convicted fraudster.

In a video shared by Tunde Ednut, Daddy Freeze reflected on his relationship with Hushpuppi, who was arrested by the FBI in 2020 for internet fraud.

In 2019, Freeze had previously shared videos of his visits to Hushpuppi’s lavish home in Dubai, which drew criticism from netizens who condemned him for associating with a known criminal.

Initially defending himself, Daddy Freeze claimed he was unaware of Hushpuppi’s criminal activities and viewed him as merely an influencer. However, in the latest update, he acknowledged their friendship while suspecting that Hushpuppi’s income might not be legitimate.

“Hushpuppi has never financially supported me, but he offered me friendship at a time when I was ostracized.

When I was rejected by the church I attended for a decade, Hushpuppi reached out to me, inviting me to hang out. How can I be angry with someone who stood by me during such a difficult time?” he stated, referencing a lyric from Davido about loyalty.
