Speaking on a podcast, the singer explained their relationship was limited to social interactions.
“Hushpuppi is coming out soon. He lived life. To me, it is not worth it to be locked up. But let me not make excuses for them (fraudsters). Some people are happy to ball for five years and that is it.
“In Nigeria, there is a kind of hardship you would face, and you will be like, you know what? Let me ball for two years, then I’m good.
“People are like that. My prayers go out to him (Hushpuppi). He was my friend. I just see him around, I never really knew what he was doing. But he lived a good life,” he said.Davido
