Emis Killa Exposes Fake GoFundMe Using Sick Child’s Images as Platform Refunds Donors

His warning underscores how medical fundraisers can be exploited by scammers despite platform checks.

Overview

  • After donating via a link attached to a video of a very ill girl, the rapper noticed irregularities and contacted GoFundMe.
  • GoFundMe confirmed the fundraiser was fraudulent, removed campaigns tied to the implicated account, and refunded donors, according to a platform message he shared.
  • He asked followers to help identify the child or her family so he can direct support to a verified recipient and launch a legitimate fundraiser.
  • He reported that some related profiles still appeared active when he checked, urging people to be cautious about online appeals.
  • His public warning drew criticism from some followers accusing him of self-promotion, and he replied in further videos, also stating—without independent confirmation—that the child had died.
