I was the first yahoo boy in Nigeria, I have scams banks before others started doing 419 – Charly Boy
Veteran Nigerian performer and television personality Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, has revealed some unsettling details about his past.
He declared himself to be a fraudster and detailed how, long before cyberfraud—also referred to as 419 or “Yahoo Yahoo”—became well-known in Nigeria.
Charly Boy made the confession during the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted OAP Nedu, Husband Material, Ezinne and Toun. The singer said;
“I was scamming banks. Even before una begin hear of 419, I don do small.”
Nedu probed; “You used to scam banks and they paid?”
Charly Boy replied, “Yes, of course.”
He then made a brief declaration of his admiration for the gay community and disclosed that he became a bad boy from birth and had a child at the age of sixteen. His first child is now 53 years old.
In a separate revelation, Charly Boy claimed that as a young child, his father hurt him emotionally through religion.
He also narrated how he took a really attractive woman home, and when she excused herself to use the bathroom, she returned as a full grown man.
