In a recent video, the controversial musician accused 'Obidients' of trying to frame him when he was imprisoned for eight days.

He said:

"The Obidients still wanted to set me up inside the prison. Thank God for Ancestral Secret Service. They don’t know that the Ancestral Secret Service is always working. Even inside the cell, they were there with me for 24 hours, watching and guarding to make sure mosquitoes did not bite me.

"Have you ever seen or heard that someone went to jail and was not bitten by mosquitoes? That was me.

They wanted to set me up but the news got me. All these fake journalists can’t back up what they are saying; they can’t back up what they are doing because they know what is behind it – the nonsense they spew as facts.

"Even when they tell the truth, they are lying because the truth has an agenda. They are not saying it for people to know about it, they are saying it so that they can get something from somewhere that is sinister. Even when they do something that is right, it is wrong.

"Some people have gone so far as to lie that Oxford (University) hosted David Hundeyin. Oxford doesn’t know you. Who are you? Why are you lying that Oxford hosted you? They used that for clout – clout chasers. Everything they do is about clout.

"Nobody get beef against you. I be obidient. You slap police face the music. If Police self do brutality against you or any member of the Nigerian society, make dem self face the music and rot in hell. It's that simple not everyone is against objective judgment. Most of us who supported Obi did not say he's a saint, amongst the 3 leading candidates, he was the one without any corruption case and we picked him. So rather than most of you castigating run the race. if you Seun think say you dey good enough to rule why you nor contest? Then test your popularity. Please stop all this gaslighting."
