Something did not sit right with me, when i saw that he was on steemit, so i quickly messaged him on instagram. I asked him if he was on steemit and he said no. Here's a screenshot of our convo below

I sent him some screenshots of the account @foladavid and some screenshots of the posts the impersonator made. And he asked me to report the account.
Here are the screenshots

As an artist i know what it takes to create art. Its not an easy feat, especially for major artworks, like the one Dr Fola makes. I have notified @steemcleaners
