No lol, you're friend is lying.

It's likely that his friend is lying, however these things are random. Just like you can mine a block with your laptop within a couple of seconds of joining the mining network. Just highly unlikely.

It could happen. OP, does your friend have any proof?
Well, there is unlikely, and then there is so incredibly unlikely that we might as well just call it impossible. An address collision falls in the second category.
