Popular singer, Hotkid, found himself in a predicament after being apprehended due to an alleged fraudulent scheme by a show promoter.

In an Instagram story, the ‘Ozana’ crooner disclosed that he was implicated in the unlawful activity orchestrated by the show promoter, Brave T.Tey, who reportedly exploited his name to deceive unsuspecting individuals.

Expressing his dismay, Hotkid lamented, “Accumulatively collected over 10 million naira from different people! They came to arrest me for money I had no idea about because of this @brave_t.tey. Oloshi oloriburuku! Naso people dey enter wahala wey no be their own oo.”

Further intensifying the situation, the singer boldly posted a picture of the show promoter, captioning it, “Wanted! He is a thief! I’m giving you 24 hours to pay up the lady and everyone else you collected money from using my name, [or] else you’d hate yourself.”
