He further stated that he understands that many Ghanaians would not understand the situation he explained.

However, he is aware that the frustrations of Ghanaians might trigger the 'Cryptocurrency' crooner and his management to seek legal action against him and for other musicians to do same.

"I did not take money from anyone. Anyone who claims I have taken money for a show, should come out and clear the air because I know I have not taken anyone's money," he emphasised.
