This is coming days after he made headlines for rejecting a Dubai gig of N4 billion because he wouldn't be allowed to smoke "grass" in their country.
The influential musician, known for making headlines, proposed that media organisations convene a meeting to discuss a specific financial arrangement. He expressed his willingness to compensate them for their cooperation.

In a recent video, fast-rising singer Daniel Benson, best known as Buju (now BNXN), expressed shock after learning that his former music manager, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, rejected a whopping $5 million (N4 billion) engagement in Dubai.
Legit.ng reported that Burna Boy revealed during a freestyle session with the Outsiders band that he turned down the offer because smoking "grass" is illegal in the United Arab Emirates.
The fast-rising talent asked if the Grammy award-winning singer was crazy for turning down $5 million (N4bn) because of the smoking law in Dubai.
