A video recently circulated online showing Flavour on the show being questioned by the host about the woman who had been duped.

In the viral video, the show’s host, Nev Schulman, informed Flavour that for the past six months, a woman named Kimberly had been interacting with someone in Nigeria claiming to be him.

To clear the air, Flavour informed Kimberly that he does not know her and that the person she has been chatting with is not him. “I don’t know her. I’ve experienced stuff like this. I’ve been to shows where fans have bumped into me and they be like ‘do you remember me?’ and I don’t. I feel bad because I don’t want anybody going through this kind of trauma because of me. All my accounts are verified. I don’t give out my personal information, I don’t talk to anybody, I don’t ask for money, that’s not me.”
