Hushpuppi<\/a> is currently awaiting trial in the US following an arrest by Dubai Police at the end of June.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian man, who called Dubai home for a stint, was arrested after a joint operation between Interpol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dubai Police over million-dollar fraud allegations.<\/p>\n

AKA ‘the Billionaire Gucci Master,’ (and you’re ’bout to see why) he’s just been denied bail by a court in Chicago. His defence has repeatedly denied<\/a> all allegations, stating his wealth is legitimate.<\/p>\n

Hushpuppi has 2.5 million followers on Insta where supercars and luxury shopping sprees are standard pics<\/h2>\n

In late June, Dubai Police arrested the influencer and recovered AED150 million in cash, 13 cars worth $6.8m, 21 computers, 47 smartphones and hard disks containing the addresses of two MILLION victims<\/h2>\n

The takedown was organised and pulled off by Dubai Police.<\/p>\n

Currently, awaiting trial in the US, Hushpuppi has now been denied Bail. He requested to stay with a relative nearby, however, the court stated that due to his potential access to large sums of cash and connections with other countries, he’s been deemed a flight risk<\/h2>\n

Last week, his defence argued that his wealth is legit, and that he made it from endorsements, ‘real estate’ and promoting brands<\/h2>\n
