A friend of mine wants to use my number and put it as his supervisor for some background check. We are really close and he's helped me in the past so i'm inclined to do it but what will happen when the background check company calls me?

Does your friend work in latex for Vandalay Industries?
YOURE SUPPOSED TO SAY VANDELAY INDUSTRIES!
I did this for a friend of mine, but I told the truth and said we were peers. I then went on to say how awesome he was.
this is fine but I dont see how in a situation like the op you can just pretend to be a supervisor. although no one would likely ever know lol....
bro up and do it
So you're just going to pretend to be someone else? Wtf?
Friends don't let friends scam background check companies alone. Do it.
