"At that point, I no longer wanted to move forward with the deal. This is around 1:10 am. He was set to arrive at the club at 12:25 am. Once I requested for the $15k balance that was paid that night (The deposit was paid in October in Los Angeles) that’s when he posted this cancelled flyer."

Moola claimed that he was robbed of N28m by Burna’s team and his name was slandered.

He disclosed his intention to pursue the matter with the help of the law while demanding a refund.
