However, Sire Choppenson started complaining about money when they traveled to Tamale for Shatta Wale’s show.
The artiste manager also revealed that Sire Choppenson tried to extort more money from him despite being paid for a video shoot when they returned to Accra.
He said:
“I gave him money to get equipment to shoot Killa Ji Mi, which he did. After the video was shot, he tried to blackmail me for money he had already been paid.”
Sammy Flex added that the videographer stopped communicating with him and went behind his back to see Shatta Wale for more money.
“He stopped contacting me. He even threatened to keep Shatta Wale’s video if we didn’t give him more money for equipment. I even pushed another team member to contact him but he never returned his calls or texts. I found out later that he had gone to contact Satta Wale directly and called me and told me about Chopinson’s complaints.”
