Musician, Papi Adabraka, has cautioned individuals involved in illegal activities against flaunting their lifestyles on social media, stressing that such behaviour exposes them to law enforcement.

Speaking in an interview with Headless YouTuber on December 11, 2025, Papi criticised people who engage in fraud and still invite bloggers to display their wealth online.

“How can you be doing fraud and let bloggers be posting you. It’s like a thief doing an advert. It’s wrong. You have to be smarter than that,” he said.

He explained that legitimate celebrities such as Shatta Wale can publicly showcase their assets because their income is traceable through music streams and other business ventures.

“Shatta Wale is posting his cars and houses; he’s a musician. His streams is crazy, he can get money. He just sold his catalogue, he has money so he can be flexing cars. He can show a receipt for it, he’s a grown man and he worked hard before buying those cars,” he noted.

Papi advised individuals with questionable income sources to avoid public attention, adding that federal authorities and informants monitor online behaviour.

“Don’t call bloggers to be posting you since you’re not really doing anything that people know of. If you don’t show your lifestyle on social media, how will the FBI find you?

“They have satellites on us and most of the boys who are around are also snitches. They mingle with them to get information, so just be mindful of what you do,” he shared.

He also warned that envy and jealousy from close associates can lead to exposure.

“Someone can envy you because of what you’re getting and they will expose you so you have to know who to bring closer to you,” he stated.

According to him, while he does not endorse or condemn fraud, those who engage in it should not advertise themselves.

“I’m not condemning fraud because it’s a job. I’m not saying fraud is good and I’m not saying it’s bad. Those who do it shouldn’t advertise themselves,” he added.
