Controversial journalist and social commentator Kemi Olunloyo, widely known as “Kemi Talks,” has ignited fresh controversy with an explosive Facebook post claiming that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is targeting Nigerian content creators over an alleged transnational credit card fraud scheme.
In her signature urgent and declarative tone, Olunloyo posted an exclusive warning under the headline “URGENT / PRIORITY 🚨 EXCLUSIVE,” alleging that several Nigerian influencers and streamers are using stolen American credit cards and social security numbers—many purchased from the dark web—to fund lavish online gifting, particularly on platforms like TikTok and GoFundMe.
The Allegations in Detail
Olunloyo, who has previously broken stories related to high-profile fraud cases including Hushpuppi, Woodberry, Invictus Obi, and Mona Montrage, stated that “several content creators in Nigeria are using STOLEN credit cards and social security cards of innocent Americans.” She further claimed that some of these compromised details are “openly posted on X,” criticizing platform owner Elon Musk for inaction.
She called on the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI attaché offices in Lagos and Abuja, and the U.S. Secret Service to initiate extradition arrests, warning that the fraud is “destroying the entire global economy.”
Olunloyo specifically pointed to “big gifters” donating to popular Nigerian streamers such as Peller and Carter Efe, suggesting they are primary targets. She referenced a similar GoFundMe fraud frenzy in 2018, where donations were revoked after being linked to stolen cards.
A Pattern of Predictions
No stranger to bold and often divisive forecasts, Olunloyo reminded her audience of her past exposes, writing:
“You can believe me later in 2028 and vindicate me as usual.”
Her track record with prior fraud cases lends a chilling credibility to her latest warnings, even as critics question her sourcing and motives.
Reactions and Ramifications
Given Olunloyo’s polarizing reputation, responses to her post have been split. Supporters view her as a vigilant whistleblower unafraid to confront cybercrime, while skeptics accuse her of sensationalism and fearmongering without verified evidence.
If proven true, her claims could signal one of the largest coordinated crackdowns on Nigerian digital fraud since the Hushpuppi case, with potential extractions and international prosecutions.
Kemi Olunloyo: Controversial Prophet or Provocateur?
Whether seen as an investigative journalist or an incendiary commentator, Kemi Olunloyo has once again thrust herself—and Nigeria’s bustling content creation industry—into the spotlight. Her latest warning raises serious questions about financial fraud in digital entertainment and may prompt preemptive scrutiny from both local and international authorities.
As of now, no official statement has been released by the FBI or Nigerian authorities regarding these allegations. But if history is any indicator, where Kemi Talks, many listen—even if only to debate her next move.
