Nigerian singer, Emma Nyra has come under attack on social media for slamming Nigerians who are celebrating the arrest of a suspected Internet fraudster, Raymond Igbalode Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
KanyiDaily had reported how Hushpuppi and his 10 gang members were arrested in the United Arab Emirate, Dubai on June 10, 2020, for defrauding over 1.9 million victims to the tune of $435.6 million (N168 billion).
Emma Nyra took her Twitter page on Sunday, July 5, 2020, to call out Nigerians for celebrating the arrest of Hushpuppi, noting that rejoicing his downfall will put money in thier pocket.
She further claimed that Nigerians hatred for Hushpuppi for the fact that they felt oppressed by his expensive social media lifestyle and everyone wished to be like him.
“A lot of people are happy about what happened to Hushpuppi because he was oppressing them on social media. The truth is that rejoicing in his downfall is not gonna put money in your pocket. I’m tired of reading about someone else’s downfall. Let me jeje hustle my own,” she wrote.

Emma Nyra’s comment has triggered a lot of reaction on social media.
Emma Nyra this is Twitter not Instagram. Hushpupi defrauded people of billions of naira & you somehow think he should be hugged or given a pat on the back? The truth is that rejoicing on his downfall is cool no one will be his victim anymore. Hushpupi deserved everything he got. https://t.co/JFsyKw05ZS

Happy to say that I have never consumed any content with Emma Nyra's name on it. I only sort of know this person exists because Fally Ipupa once mentioned her name on a track. Very happy to go through the rest of my life without hearing anything from this person.

Emma nyra said we're happy hushpuppi was caught because we're broke and envious of his wealth. She has balls to say her mind, cos a lot of celebs feel the same way but wont say it. Kudos to the young lady 🤣

Emma Nyra thinks Nigerians are celebrating Hushpuppi's downfall because he oppressed them on Socialmedia. Emma Nyra should submit herself for a very strong Covid-19 test because she is displaying all the symptoms of a sick poverty of the mind mentality patient 🙄

A carefully written tweet laced with bullish ignorance by Emma Nyra.
What a way to make a first impression on those that don't know who she is.

Dear Emma nyra, this isn't the best way to come back into our music space and gain little relevance.
Try some more reasonable and brilliant ideas. Also make sure your baby is old enough before you make a reappearce.
Cheers.

Her music is not doing the justice , neither her name " Emma Nyra " is for her ,so the best thing was to compose a tweet filled with ignorance and maximum stupidity to get everyone's attention. Maybe the people she is affiliated with does fraud .

Meanwhile, on Friday, July 4, 2020, Hushpuppi was charged with the conspiracy to commit money laundering before a United States court, one for which he could get a maximum jail term of 20 years if convicted.
