A Nigerian boy who claimed that he was helped by Davido, one of Nigeria’s top musicians, has retracted the false claims that he made earlier this month.
In a video posted on TikTok, the boy, whose name is Jjfrosh, stated that he was sorry for lying as Davido did not actually help him.
In the original video that went viral, Jjfrosh had claimed that Davido stretched out a helping hand to him after years of struggling to get likes and followers on social media.
However, in his latest video, Jjfrosh said that he only made the claim to get attention and that he regretted it.
Jjfrosh went on to explain that he was a comedian who had been struggling to get noticed on social media, and that he thought that claiming that Davido had helped him would get him more attention. He said that he was sorry for lying and that he hoped that people would forgive him.
In his words;
