"After 2015, Salam showed that he wanted us to work again. We did some series, and I am going to put it out there that Salam still owes me to this day. I am putting it out there because I want Salam to know that I am not the only person he owes," he said.
During the viral interview, Van Vicker made an emotional appeal to filmmakers to stop exploiting actors, since their livelihood depends on it.
"Salam owes a lot of people, and I hear all these stories, and I am aggrieved because he is a seasoned producer... It is not fair to have actors work, and we don't get what we are worth," he added.

Abdul Salam threatens Van Vicker
Van Vicker also blasted Abdul Salam over threats he made about his life and career after their fallout.
The actor and entrepreneur asserted that the seasoned filmmaker doesn't control his destiny.
"We started having our friction in about 2007, and we didn't work together for about four or five years or so. And I heard a lot of stories where Mumuni was on a radio in Kumasi, talking about how he made me and was going to bring me down."
"We are in 2025, no person's destiny is in another person's hands. Only God does it. He uses people to do things for others. But if you say you want to bring somebody down, unless God signs it," he said.
"In 2007, we didn't work. Salam came to me in 2011 for us to do a movie. He wanted us to do a follow-up on Beyoncé's film, and I expressed my interest in being a co-producer. He said he won't allow it. It wasn't for free, and he didn't want to share the franchise, so I said Let's leave it," he added."
