So I met Odell Walker Jr, aka @OJTheKing_, on Twitter last year. He was nice and I thought we had a lot in common so I really started liking him relatively quickly. A month later, he flew out to meet me which is when we took that picture. April 2021.
TWITTER SWINDLER’S STORY IS NOW AVAILABLE
When a Twitter user by the name of Sativa Monét chose to share her encounter with a man who she compares to Netflix’s Tinder Swindler, the Internet jumped on the story.
Sativa claims in the post that she met Belly Rowland, who uses the platform with the handle @OJTheKing_. After conversing on Twitter for a month, the two seemed to click right away and agreed to meet.
Things began to change, though, when the couple agreed to meet again. While Sativa opted to purchase her own plane ticket, things did not appear to go as planned.
The couple continued planning to meet, but it was always postponed. Belly seemed to have a response for everything, from the court hearing to being admitted to the hospital.
Sativa finally recognized that all he’d stated about himself had been a lie. From his employment to where he resided, everything was perfect. Sativa revealed that she made the decision to block Belly on the platform and break all relations.
ain't nothing I can say but I apologize to y'all women I capped on. That shit was wrong & unnecessary. Ima eat these jokes and fall back and get more therapy for my ways.

HAS THE “TWITTER SWINDLER” REPLIED?
Belly did, in fact, respond on Twitter. In fact, he tweeted a photo of the Tinder Swindler from Netflix with the caption “NewProfilePic.”
At the same time, he apologized for his behavior. “Ain’t nothing I can say, but I apologize to y’all women I capped on,” he stated. That nonsense was both incorrect and useless. I’m going to eat these jokes and go back to rehab for my ways.”
“All I can do is laugh at these jokes and change my behavior,” he continued. So I sincerely apologize to Nia and her family. You were always dependable and did not deserve any of this.”
Sativa, for her part, stated, “I’m human, y’all. I make dumb decisions from time to time. It does happen. I learn from my errors and keep moving forward. You may laugh with me or at me, but you can’t make me feel bad about what I choose to share. I’m not perfect, but at the very least I’m honest.”
