It is no longer news that Dammy Krane has been arrested by police in the United States for credit card fraud and related charges. Hours after his arrest became public discourse, tweets rolled out from his Twitter handle claiming there are three sides to the story and even promising fans “new material” where he plans to share his own side of the story.
Social media has been rife with different reactions from Nigerian celebs on the Dammy Krane credit card saga.
Nigerian OAP Freeze wrote on Instagram:”This gentleman is a good person. One of the most respectful young people I know. One mistake doesn’t define him. The pressure on entertainers, especially the young ones is unimaginably enormous. Born into a nation where money is king doesn’t help either. Young people, please don’t bow to societal pressure to conform, be yourself, money is not the only currency you can spend so don’t engage in fraudulent activities to get it!” he said
An Insider who prefers anonymity said there is no hope for him again. In his words: “He never quite broke in to the industry. He can’t be described as an A-list artiste, he doesn’t even count as B-list, so there’s no hope for him again, in my opinion. Add the struggle to blow to this huge scandal, people will surely steer clear from him and his music.”
Popular eclectic Nigerian OAP and hype-man Dotun wrote on Twitter:” I have always loved this Kid Dammy Krane. I have spoken to him on many occasions. I feared for him a lot, I cannot believe it”.
For self -proclaimed Omo Baba Olowo Davido, he simply asserted that Dammy Krane should be set free. He took to his snapchat and wrote:” Free Dammy Krane . God gat you”.
Daughter of Fuji maestro KWAM 1, Dami Marshall wrote:”Dami is an extremely honest person and he is a good citizen. He just happened to be a victim of circumstance.Dami i0s a sweet and kind young man. Dami is too young for all these harsh comments”.
Nigerian male Barbie and bleaching advocate, Bobrisky surprisingly had something to say on the issue. He wrote on Snapchat:”Everyone is a sinner the only difference is that we sin differently. May God touch the heart of those who arrested him”.
Tipsy Enupo, a Nigerian female rapper and also a friend to Dammy Krane took to her Instagram page to express her thoughts on the Dammy Krane saga. She wrote: “We are all sinners.. We all sin differently. The internet has given the opportunity to people to voice baseless opinions, pass harsh unrealistic judgments about situations they have no idea about. Most of you guys have yahoo boys as your inspiration, when they dash you money, you don’t question them.
“And I hope this is clear I don’t have a problem with whatever anyone does to survive. On the other hand, I am neither encouraging fraud. Some of you are quick to attack entertainers accusing them of living beyond their means.. Excuse me, most of you curse artistes who don’t dress well, have a good car, compare them to the rich ones. The societal pressure you put on artistes to look a certain way, dress a certain way, have a certain lifestyle is the reason why people will continue to fake it till they make it.If you ever liked Dammy krane, pray for him. To the artistes coming online posting subliminal messages at him. I hope that when they are giving you that gold chain anddesigner shoe you can reject it and say Baba this money no pure, I no fit collect”.
