The actor recently spoke about the incident for the first during a live interaction on TikTok with fans.

He dismissed the allegations as a smear campaign from Gunshot and emphatically stated that he had no hand in his mentor's alleged missing phone.

Strika also spoke about the money he had been accused of pilfering from Gunshot's drawer but gave neither a confirmation nor a denial about the incident.

According to Strika, his handlers leveraged his situation for views and shared his intention to grant an interview and publicly challenge Gunshot.

"I'm from the streets. I grew up on the streets. I learnt my skills from the streets. I'm a street boy. I can't just stop some (of my habits). It takes time and I keep trying for myself. But still, they said I'd stolen a phone. That's a lie."
