The "thug" claimed that the debt had been outstanding for six months and insisted on receiving his money that day or he would seize all the camera and TV equipment being used for filming.

Wizkid attempted to intervene and calm the irate man, introducing himself in the process. However, the man pretended not to know who Wizkid was and continued his tirade.

As the scene grew tense, the "thug" handed Wizkid a paper, asking him to look at the invoice as a faux confirmation of the debt. When Wizkid opened the white sheet, it revealed the message, "You have just been pranked on the Big Friday Show."

Realising he had been pranked, the Ojuelegba hitmaker burst into laughter, surprised by how realistic the acting had been. He then excitedly hugged the hefty man, calling him "my G."
