Shatta Wale’s manager reacts to Nigerian videographer’s claims of unpaid debt

Published

on

Sammy Flex, the manager of dancehall artist Shatta Wale, has finally responded to videographer Sire Choppenson’s allegations that he is owed money for shooting over 13 videos for Shatta Wale.

In a trending social media video, Sammy Flex refuted Sire Choppenson’s claims and accused him of being greedy and spreading lies.

According to him, Sire Choppenson approached him to be Shatta Wale’s videographer and was subsequently added to the artist’s team.

However, issues allegedly began when Sire Choppenson started demanding money during their trip to Tamale for Shatta Wale’s show.

Sammy Flex also revealed that Sire Choppenson attempted to extort more money from him even after being paid for a video shoot upon their return to Accra.

He stated, “I gave him money to acquire equipment for the ‘Killa Ji Mi’ video shoot, which he did. After the shoot, he attempted to blackmail me for equipment funds that had already been paid to him.”

Sammy Flex further claimed that the videographer ceased communication with him and clandestinely approached Shatta Wale for additional payment.

“He stopped responding to me. He even threatened to withhold Shatta Wale’s videos unless we paid him more money for the equipment. I urged another team member to contact him, but he ignored calls and messages. Later, I discovered he had directly approached Shatta Wale. Shatta Wale called me and informed me of Choppenson’s grievances.”

Additionally, Sammy Flex disclosed that Sire Choppenson still holds some of Shatta Wale’s videos and attempted to deceive him when he approached him for their return.

Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.

Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.

He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.

He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.

“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.

“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”

Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
