In a statement posted on news, the well-known Afrobeats singer, 31, said he had gotten a “barrage of calls” following the viral story that he had been arrested after cocaine was discovered on his private plane.
Regardless of the context of “April Fools,” I believe it incredibly irresponsible to fabricate accusations of such international crimes,” the man wrote.
The three-time Grammy Award nominee continued, saying that after giving performances in Kenya and Uganda, he had now returned home to Nigeria and that the rumors were completely false.
He then on, “I have never been detained for any crime by anybody in any nation.
Not America, not Nigeria, not any of the hundreds of countries I have called home over my career.
