2face Idibia has spoken in favour of Dammy Krane who was arrested in Miami Dade, Florida, USA on June 1 over credit card fraud and related offences.
Speaking in an interview with HipTV, the 41-year-old said the suspect would never intentionally get involved in fraud, saying the younger musician may be crazy but “is not that type of crazy”.
2face once signed Dammy Krane to his Hypertek Digital label and featured him in songs like ‘Omo No Dulling’ and ‘Confession’.
According to him, “Dammy is good. Dammy is a young blood. He is very charismatic. He is very likable. He’s talented.”
He continued: “I think it is safe to call it implication. He just got caught up in something he knew nothing about because of time, place and association, he just got caught up in in all that.”
The ‘No Holy Pass’ singer concluded, “But he is fine now.”
This is the first time 2face would be publicly speaking about Dammy Krane’s fraud case ever since he was arrested and charged to court.
The 23-year-old, whose real name is Oyindamola Emmanuel Johnson-Hunga, is facing nine felony charges in Miami-Dade criminal court for credit card forgery and grand theft.
Trouble started for the singer after he was arrested for using a suspicious card to book a private jet flight to Washington, D.C.
According to police reports, details of which was published recently in Miami New Times, when the police searched him they found seven false credit cards in his wallet.
Agents from the mobile-phone booking app TapJets alerted the police, when they discovered that the first card Dammy Krane tendered was bogus.
The jet company told Miami-Dade Police that Krane and a partner, Chukwuebuka Ilochonwu, had booked a $10,943 trip on a jet from Opa-locka to Washington, D.C.
