Summary

Instagram influencer Hushpuppi earned millions of followers by posting a window into the life of the ultra-rich, with his runway-ready designer outfits, garages full of Rolls Royces, private planes, glimpses into the glamorous parties. He had “made it” from nothing and he loved to be a symbol to that his followers they could do it too. But there was just one question: where did he get all his money? It’d all come out in an FBI sting operation. And the source of Hushpuppi's wealth is much more common than you’d ever guess. A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
