Nigeria musician Flavour has recently found himself consoling an American woman on the MTV show Catfish.
This was after a man impersonated Flavour in order to defraud the lady known as Kimberly.
In a video shared on Instagram, Kimberly told the show host that about six months ago she was contacted out of the blue by the scammer.
They started talking in their DMs and he later suggested they communicate via WhatsApp, Kimberly confessed.
She noted that they had communicated through video chats on the social media platform for months and the scammer bared a semblance to the singer.
When the producer initially contacted the scammer with Kimberly’s phone he responded. However, he immediately ended the call.
The producer then contacted Flavour who said he had no idea who Kimberly is.
The ‘Ololufe’ hitmaker empathised with the lady, noting that he felt bad she and many others who fell for such scams have to go through these circumstances because of him.
“I have been through stuffs like this. I have gone to shows where fans have asked me ‘Do you remember me?’...and I don’t. I feel bad because I don't want anybody going through this kind of trauma because of me. All my accounts are verified, I don't give out my personal information,” Flavour said.
Meanwhile, the Catfish team was finally able to reach the young man impersonating Flavour.
He told the team he is a 23-year-old man. He said his aim was to extort money from Kimberly when he got the chance.
