Tiktoker Royal Jeff, born Ssemanda Timothy, has been accused of scamming his American fiancée, Paula, from South Carolina.
The two met in February 2023, when Jeff was reportedly a philanthropist raising money on Instagram for his orphanage. Paula, moved by his story of caring for 20 orphans, began sending him money.
Jeff claimed to live in the ghetto and expressed a desire to buy a home for the children for $6,000, as the landlord was selling the property. Paula sent the money and also bought beds for the children.
A year later, Paula visited Uganda to see the orphanage. Royal Jeff presented her with fake documents claiming ownership of the property.
She soon discovered the truth: the orphanage was a lie. The children were borrowed for her visit, and the building was owned by Jeff's mother, whom he had introduced as his aunt.
Paula revealed Jeff used the money for himself and his family. She is now publicly exposing him, promising to share more details about how he used her money to launch his music career.
