In a surprising turn of events, Malawian hip-hop star Kalawe has announced he will pay the bail for TikTok’s notorious ‘iPhone Daddy,’ a 23-year-old who was recently jailed for scamming people with promises of the best iPhones money could buy. In a heartfelt social media post, Kalawe said, “The guy messed up, yes, but he deserves a second chance. I want to pay for his bail and get him out this afternoon. He is only 23. He is a talented marketer, he just needs to be guided to trust the process. Shit happens Kheze. We all need a second chance.”
This move has sparked mixed reactions, with some applauding Kalawe’s compassion and others questioning the decision to support someone involved in fraudulent activities. As ‘iPhone Daddy’ awaits his potential release, Kalawe’s gesture highlights the complex conversation around forgiveness and guidance in the age of social media.
