He said the amount that was meant to be given to him previously, before the contract breach, he had no knowledge of since it was his manager who received it and finalised the deal with the telco.

"For the amount in question, I did not even hold GH¢2 out of it. I did not even spend 10 pesewas, I swear to God and mankind," he said.

Sharing his experience during that one-year period, the rapper said when Vodafone was hosting a show in Kwahu, he would be called to perform, regardless of whether he had another show at that same time or not.

The Bad Energy crooner said that there were times when the telco would host a show for two days, and he would be the only headline performer.
