Sir Choppenson took to TikTok to express his grievances, stating that he has not received full payment despite successfully completing over 13 videos for Shatta Wale, including the one that gained international attention and led to a collaboration with Beyoncé. According to Sir Choppenson, the agreed amount for recent shoots was less than $5,000, yet Shatta Wale had promised a total of $15,000, which remains unpaid.
The video director expressed his disappointment and frustration over the situation, emphasising that he has been requesting payment for over a month. He described his experience of constant excuses or anger from Shatta Wale whenever he called to inquire about the payment. Sir Choppenson stressed that he has made significant contributions to Shatta Wale's career and feels let down by the delayed payments despite previous assurances from the musician’s management.
