Uche Jombo publicly makes request to 50 Cent over new Hushpuppi series

Following the announcement of intentions to make a movie series based on the Nigerian online scammer Hushpuppi, Nollywood actress Uche Jombo has made a public appeal to well-known American rapper, 50 Cent.

On late Wednesday, 50 Cent revealed that he intended to produce a television series based on the life of Hushpuppi, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in the United States for participating in a scheme to launder millions of dollars through online fraud.

Recall that on Monday, November 7, United States District Judge Otis D. Wright II sentenced Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, who is also known as Ray Hushpuppi.

It was revealed in a statement issued by the US Department of Justice that the judge had also mandated Hushpuppi to pay $1,732,841 in reparations to two of his victims.

50 Cent who shared images of the prisoner on his Instagram account on Wednesday stated that he was working on a movie project which was based on the life of Hushpuppi.

In the caption, the creator of G-Unit Records wrote: "For my scammers, I gotta do this one. Hushpuppi series coming soon! GLG, Green Light Gang I don’t miss. #Bransoncognac #lecheminduroi #gunitfilmandtv.”

Uche Jombo reacted to the development by pleading with the American star in the comment section to ensure a Nigerian actor plays that role.

She wrote: "Please give a Nigeria actor the opportunity to play this character.”
