In a chat with Legit.ng's Victor Duru on Monday, August 22, Idris confirmed that the tweep, Swanky, hasn't made good the promise because he had no money.
He revealed that they actually met after the Twitter promise of N1m, but nothing came out. In Idris' words:
"I have met the guy (Swanky). He didn’t give any money because he didn’t have any money."
Legit.ng also gathered that Swanky is a footballer and resides in Badagry, Lagos. Further details on Swanky's identity won't be revealed for Idris' sake.
Idris, who expressed surprise at Chiefpriest's offer, prayed for God's blessings on the celebrity barman.

Cubana Chiefpriest opens up on why he gave Idris such an unwelcoming look
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Cubana Chiefpriest had revealed why he looked down on Idris.
As opposed to what people have been saying, the young man he allegedly looked down on was not a fan and was, in fact, supposed to deliver on a job.
Chiefpriest on his Instagram story channel explained that the young man did not stay committed to the job he was paid to do.
He continued by saying that the young man was supposed to be arranging seats, but left that to make videos on stage while sound check was going on.
