Peruzzi vows to sue influencer over fake scandalous tweet involving him and Chioma

Nigerian artist Peruzzi has vowed to sue an influencer who generated debate online by posting a fictitious tweet about him and Chioma Adeleke.

Social media users woke up to a photoshopped tweet that claimed Peruzzi was involved in a scandal involving Davido the head of his record company, and Chioma, Davido’s wife.

The scandal started when @belikebaddy, a Twitter user, posted a faked tweet purportedly from Peruzzi’s account, implying that Davido had cut him off because of an alleged relationship with Chioma.

Peruzzi in a swift reaction clarified that he was not associated with the fake tweet, saying it was completely made up.

After seeing the manipulated tweet, Peruzzi warned @belikebaddy that disseminating incorrect information could have legal repercussions.

Following that, @belikebaddy apologized in public and took ownership of the fake tweet.

“I apologize for posting an edited tweet which involved @peruzzi and @davido. I take full responsibility for all my actions have caused, and I promise it’ll never happen again. My apologies to DMW Management,” he wrote.

Peruzzi, on the other hand, was adamant about taking legal action.

Peruzzi expressed his commitment to seek legal action and urged his followers to support the cause by raising awareness and finances for the court fight.
