Hip-Hop
maestro, Naeto C, has reacted to news reports making the rounds
bothering on allegations of fraud levelled against him by one Muhammad
Nura, of Fine Boy Swag (FBS) Entertainment. If you missed it, Click HERE to read
In
a statement made available by his publicist, Naeto C set ‘to clear the
air and set the records straight’ even as he claimed his signature was
forged.
The statement reads in part:
With
reference to the news making the rounds on entertainment blog portals
and social media platforms about our client Naeto C defrauding a show
promoter of certain amount of money, we would like to clear the air and
set the records straight.
Naeto
C actually made the trip to Abuja to fulfill his end of the agreement
subject to receiving full payment for the said event which was supposed
to be a day before or on the date of the engagement.
When
it became apparent on the day of the show that the promoters were not
forthcoming with paying up the balance, our client declined to grace the
show with his presence especially as he had held up his end of the
bargain regardless of the show being 3 days to his wedding.
Most
significantly, the signature on the agreement document is not that of
our client and this act of forgery is not only distasteful, but
criminal.
The
sum deposited is a fraction of the total amount which was agreed upon
and stated in the agreement document as payment for his services.
Naeto
C as a brand is of the premium stock. His life is well documented in
the public’s eye from his family background to his upbringing,
educational background, and his career as a musical artiste.
Every established show promoter knows it costs considerably more than the figure in question to book Naeto C for a performance.
That
said, we will explore all options made available to us within legal
bounds of the constitution of Nigeria, including suing for fraudulent
practices (forgery of signature) and defamation of character if we deem
it fit, if these false claims and accusations are not retracted and a
letter of apology issued.
