All budding creatives would love to get featured on AGT (America’s Got Talent), but based on recent findings, a young man named JohGe used his digital manipulation skills and allegedly got the chance not only to perform but also to receive the golden buzzer on America’s Got Talent, which is a big deal.
Based on a viral video released by a scammer watchdog, it has come to light that JohGe has allegedly been running a successful scam on YouTube, earning him nearly a million subscribers. He has multiple videos performing at talent shows. He has multiple viral videos with some with over 10 million views on the platform.
According to the dossier, most of these viral videos feature him getting the golden buzzer on AGT (America’s Got Talent), and for the longest time, no one had any idea that they might be fake. We took the time to check out his videos before they were privatized and realized that they could easily pass as real if you weren’t paying attention. Still, it’s possible to quickly know something is off if you have a background in editing videos.
Based on the video, the accusers say the videos might have been edited off a green screen. Also, the lighting is a little bit off compared to that of AGT. JohGe has also been accused of faking his voice alongside other entertainers.
Don’t get me wrong, JohGe’s videos might be fake, millions of viewers believe they are real based on the comments on his videos.
“Who else is in tears, rejoicing with this young man? So touching. Thank you for being light and salt,” one commenter on his YouTube video said. “God sent this young man to remind all of us that Jesus believes that we have been wandering away too far from God, and now we are reminded to come back to him because he has been waiting for us,” another commenter confessed.
It gets interesting. While there are a ton of fake videos on YouTube of people doing all manner of things, what really got people mad is that JohGe went ahead and started a foundation, complete with a website. In one of the now-private videos, he claims to run a foundation that helps the less fortunate.
While there is no evidence of any donations ever made to his foundation, the video implicates the allegedly self-proclaimed AGT winner asking for support from well-wishers.
Based on the dossier video, JohGe uses his viral videos as a funnel for donations to his allegedly fake foundation.
“ Being on AGT is a dream come true. I am so happy, and I thank God. I am 17 years, and i have founded my own foundation with the main goal to better the lives of people who are less fortunate. If I could win $1 million, I would reach even more people who struggle to get food, clothing, and shelter. I believe that I am God sent,” he said on one of the videos captured.
The foundation’s website looks legit at first glance. However, critics have pointed out that the statistics page of his site seems a little bit off. Most of the figures are in tens. The foundation has over 10,000 partners, 1 million donations, and 100,000 beneficiaries, which is highly unlikely in real-life situations.
Also, if you take the time to Google his foundation’s name, JohGe Foundation, you’ll only find his YouTube videos and website. No news articles or mentions from other websites or forums, which raises a red flag.
Did JohGe win AGT
There is no evidence of JohGe winning AGT apart from the videos on his YouTube channel. His name doesn’t appear on any America’s Got Talent platforms as a winner or participant, and based on recent allegations, the win may be fake.
17-Year-Old Singer on America’s Got Talent from Kenya
Based on records from America’s Got Talent, as well as social media accounts and web portals, there is no current record of a 17-year-old singer from Kenya who performed on AGT. However, recent investigations by scammer hunters online reveal that the performances might have been allegedly faked for views.
On X.com, different users had varying opinions about the exposé. “No but he’s really putting a lot of hard work, let those give him money, why did you burst the guy like this,” @mugishaLinda2 commented. “The guy has 17 million views on his YouTube damn,” @Chief_MDS responded.
It is still unclear what YouTube and AGT have to say about his videos; the exposé is still fresh, but we are committed to keeping you updated on what happens next. Stay tuned!
