He said the basis of the dispute stemmed from the contractual agreement, which lacked clarity on the requirement for promotional videos for a press launch. Initially, a deposit of $20,000 was made as part of the agreement. However, the company's organisers demanded the videos and threatened to cancel the contract if they were not provided. In response to the escalating tensions, the singer's agents decided to refund the initial deposit.

According to him, things took a turn for the worse when the complainant insisted on being reimbursed $50,000 instead of the original $20,000, further fueling the disputes and threats.

As a result of the unresolved issues, Black Sherif found himself facing legal troubles upon his return from a successful European tour. The authorities at the airport halted him to assist in their investigation into the matter.
