Reacting to the news, Leila, in a Twitter post questioned why 2.4 million African youth are following him on Instagram and accused him of being a fraudster.
She said African youth should have followed the CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, because he is an African too, adding that ‘If you follow someone because they display an ostentatious lifestyle, it reveals who YOU are.’
“2.4 million followers. Majority African youth. What were you following him for? The cars? Designer clothes? Or studying his fraud skills? Any of y’all follow @elonmusk? He’s African too. If u follow someone cos they display an ostentatious lifestyle, it reveals who YOU are,” she tweeted.
