I am disappointed by 50 Cent’s recent announcement about a planned movie series on Ramon Olorunwa Abbas also known as Hushpuppi, a convicted felon currently serving 11 years in a maximum security prison in the U.S over cybercrime or “yahoo yahoo” as it is popularly called in Nigeria.

This proposed series will further tank Nigeria’s battered image as it will reinforce stereotypes about all Nigerians being scammers. Furthermore, this plan would not only make Hushpuppi rich, as he would have to be paid for rights, but it would also encourage and glamourise cybercrime. 

This has to be stopped. Join me to call on 50Cent to stop the Hushpuppi series.
