A Nigerian boy, known as Jjfrosh, who had previously claimed to have received help from the popular musician Davido, has now admitted to fabricating the story and issued an apology for his false claims.
In a TikTok video that went viral, Jjfrosh had asserted that Davido had extended a helping hand to him after years of struggling to gain likes and followers on social media.
