Jay Boogie scammed Nigerians with the kidney transplant story, blogger Tosin Silver exposes
Do you remember the story of the Nigerian transgender woman Jay Boogie who developed complications after a failed BBL? It turns out that the story he has been cooking to solicit funds was all false. Jay claimed that his kidneys had failed and he needed an urgent kidney transplant. He also said that he had exhausted his life savings on dialysis which he paid N600k daily.
Well, the truth is out in the open and those who donated money to clear his medical bills are now regretting falling for the scam. When Jay's touching story went viral, organizations reached out to him so they could help clear his hospital bills. Some offered to fly him abroad where he would get the proper medical attention. However, they all requested to see his medical report before going through with their plans but Jay couldn't tender any.
He refused to send his medical report to the organizations that wanted to help him. Instead, he told to to make a transfer to his account instead of offering to handle the medical bills themselves. That was the moment that everyone knew that something fishy had been happening. Those who have gotten to the root of the matter revealed that Jay Boogie was never diagnosed with kidney failure. He only said that so Nigerians would pity him and donate some money.
