The man who was posing as Tracy Morgan’s son, calling himself Lou Morgan, has admitted that the whole thing was a lie and that his real name is Louyi Ferrin.
In his guise as Lou Morgan, Ferrin has been able to hang out with celebrities from Justin Bieber and Rihanna to Katy Perry and Lindsay Lohan.
However, the ruse fell apart when he was spotted last Saturday asking DJs to give a “shout-out to his dad Tracy” while he was at a nightclub Haus. The shout-out was meant to give credit to Tracy Morgan for his return to “Saturday Night Live.” However, after it was reported that Ferrin had asked for the shout-out, reps for Tracy Morgan responded with confusion.
“Tracy does not have a son named Lou. It is just someone making stuff up. No one on our side knows this guy,” the reps told Page Six.
With his cover blown, Ferrin took to Facebook to post an explanation of sorts: “I didn’t do this for fame, I didn’t do this for money, I simply went with the flow of someone else’s idea . . . If you know me or spent any time with me you know that I spent most of my time working and giving back as much as possible.”
He added, “[T]he truth was gonna come out one day or another I am glad I got this mountain of (sic) my shoulders, if you know me and feel some type of way about this you’re intittled (sic) to your feelings.”
