Sammy Flex rubbishes Sire Choppenson's allegations
In a trending social media video, Sammy Flex denied Sire Choppenson's claims and called him greedy for spreading lies about him.
According to him, Sire Choppenson approached him about being the videographer for Shatta Wale and was added to the artiste's team.
However, Sire Choppenson started complaining about money when they travelled to Tamale for Shatta Wale's show.
The artiste manager also revealed that Sire Choppenson tried extorting more money from him despite being paid for a video shoot when they returned to Accra.
He said:
"I gave him money to get equipment for the Killa Ji Mi video shoot, which he did. After the video shoot, he tried blackmailing me for equipment money already paid him."
Sammy Flex added that the videographer stopped communicating with him and went behind his back to see Shatta Wale for more money.
"He stopped communicating with me. He even threatened to keep Shatta Wale's video if we did not give him more money for equipment. I even pushed another team member to communicate with him, but he never answered his calls or texts. I later found out that he had gone to communicate directly with Shatta Wale. Shatta Wale called me and told me about Choppenson's complaints."
Sammy Flex also disclosed that Sire Choppenson still possesses some of Shatta Wale's videos and tried to dupe him when he approached him for them.
