'Rejoicing In Hushpuppi’s Downfall Isn’t Going To Bring You Money'

American-born Nigerian singer Emma Nyra has cautioned those celebrating Hushpuppi’s arrest.

Taking to Twitter yesterday, Sunday, June 5, 2020, the 31-year-old artist stated that a lot of people were happy about Hushpuppi’s plight because he was oppressing them on social media.

She said that rejoicing in his downfall wasn’t going to put money in people’s pockets, adding that she never disclosed that Hushpuppi’s arrest made her happy.

Her post reads:

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 hustle my own jeje.

Meanwhile, I never said I was unhappy about his arrest. That’s the caption that Instablog gave you and you ran with it. I said I’m tired of reading about it.

Of course, his actions deserved the highest consequences. I never said otherwise. I said that I’m tired of reading about it.

Men like my father who migrated to America to seek honest work as a pharmacist will now be labeled in the same box as Hushpuppi because he’s Nigerian. That’s what I meant by his arrest is bad news because when I see him on the news in America all they say is Nigeria over & over.

I genuinely apologize if I offended anyone. I never meant to do that. I simply meant that I’m tired of reading about it. Justice will be served when it comes to his case and understand that I would never defend his actions at all. I actually never did.”
