Popular Nigerian singer, Flavour N’abania has consoled an American lady scammed by a stranger who impersonated him online.
On the July 12 episode of MTV base show, ‘Catfish’, Co-hosts Nev Schulman and Kamie Crawford helped out a woman named Kimberly who believed she was dating Flavour.
Kimberly’s daughter wrote into the show, stating that her mom had been duped by strangers online in the past, and that she was afraid that the same thing was happening again with her latest online love, Flavour.
During Nev and Kamie’s search for information, the co-hosts looked through the Instagram account for “Flavour” that Kimberly has been communicating with. While there weren’t many comments on his posts, they found one in particular that stuck out to them.
They messaged the woman who wrote the comment, and they then reported what they found out to Kimberly.
Nev told her that the woman who left the comment appeared to be from Nigeria, and that she claimed that she had gotten a job with “Flavour.”
While Nev isn’t at all convinced that Kimberly could possibly be talking to the real “Flavour,” she insists that she did video chat with him.

With a major piece of the puzzle still missing after the initial search, Nev decides to message the verified Flavour’s account directly to get answers once and for all.
After Flavour responded to Nev’s inquiry, the longtime Catfish personality asks for a call.
They linked up with Nigerian Singer via video call and narrated everything that happened.
Reacting, Flavour said he was impersonated and explained how fraudsters are using his Photos/Profile to scam unsuspecting fans.
The music star told Kimberly and the Catfish crew how he had been embarrassed on several occasions by fans that have been scammed.
