But there was a twist: it wasn't her at all!
Kusha quickly jumped into action to clear the air, telling everyone to stop interacting with the fake account. She also warned her followers to ignore any dodgy messages.
Not her page, not her words
Kusha took to her social media to let fans know what was really going on. She shared a screenshot of the fake Facebook page that was pretending to be her. The page was using her name and photo and had even built up a following of over 122,000 people.
What made it even more bizarre was its bio, which read, 'Small and stupid.'
In her story, Kusha added a strong message to make things clear. She wrote, 'Apologies for highlighting this at a time like this but this Facebook page is not owned/ run by me. Please ignore all inappropriate messages/money requests. Thank you to everyone who pointed this out. Please stop engaging with this page, thinking it's me.'
It's not the first time celebrities and influencers have had to deal with impersonators online, but Kusha made sure to respond fast to protect her fans and her name.
Earlier incident: Troll gets called out
Just a few days before this impersonation drama, on 5 May 2025, she also called out a troll who sent her a vulgar and inappropriate message in her Instagram DMs. Refusing to stay silent, Kusha shared the offensive message with her followers and gave the troll a sharp response. She wrote, 'Disgusting, unhealed, auraless behaviour.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday (June 6, 2025) at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Also Read | Trump launches paid self-deportation program to end 'invasion' Mr Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday (June 10, 2025) to the email address listed on Mr Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Mr Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks.' He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.

Her most recent Instagram post, which shows private times with her husband, professional golfer Dustin Johnson, has generated a lot of interest. With the U.S. With opening only days away, the mood and timing of these images have fans speculating for more than merely love or fashion. Paulina Gretzky shares cozy moments with Dustin Johnson ahead of Oakmont tournament On the morning of June 9, 2025, Paulina, who is 36, shared a carousel of new images on her Instagram. The photos show her seated beside 40-year-old Dustin Johnson, her husband, on a white couch. The couple appeared affectionate and close, with Paulina dressed in a sheer, soft-colored outfit detailed with lace. Johnson, on the other hand, was seen without a shirt beneath a sleek white blazer. The post's title was simply "Nobody else," a phrase that soon became quite popular on social media sites among fans. The timing of the post caught notice as it came just days before Johnson is set to play in the 125th U.S. Open beginning June 12, 2025. The event will be held at Oakmont Country Club near to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Paulina has shared bold content before. In May 2025, she posted a striking image from a Miami-based shoot with photographer Isabella Lanaro. That picture showed her in denim, using her arms to cover her chest while standing against a neutral background. She wrote 'Undone' in the caption. That post also generated a strong online response.

Paulina Gretzky has witnessed several of his golf achievements. She was present at the Par-3 competition in Augusta's 2025 Masters in April. After many years of engagement, the couple got married in April 2022. Ten-year-old Tatum and seven-year-old River are their two small kids. Johnson plays under the LIV Golf banner and currently ranks 27th overall after eight events, with three top-10 results this year.
