Reggae musician, King Wadada (Austin Peter) recently accused his manager, Uzo of stealing his 20,000 dollars, amounting to N7,250,000 (Seven Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) he won from Kora Awards in 2010 as Africa’s best reggae artist.

Be that as it may, Uzo in a swift reaction denied the allegations levelled against him by Wadada; “The singer is only seeking cheap publicity. Since the beginning of the year, Wadada has been begging me to come back and be his manager.”

“Do you know Wadada? Don’t you know Wadada? He would do a poster for his show and put the likes of Tuface and everybody that he knows that would not attend the show. Wadada is sick. If I speak, he will get the attention he wants. He is irrelevant. I helped his career and you can check it out on YouTube.”

“You would see what I did for him on stage at the Kora Concert. I shot videos for him free of charge. I was the one that paid for his first flight out of Nigeria. Before then, no one had ever taken him anywhere, not even to Cotonou in Benin Republic. I managed him and put him on the same stage with Akon in Benin Republic. I took him to different countries. Every good thing that happened to his career after he sang, Holy Holy, was through me.”

“Wadada has been begging me since the beginning of this year to drop Majek Fashek as my artiste and resume managing him. He said I should drop Majek Fashek because he was sick and he promised that this time would be better. I never did anything like that for Wadada and he is saying all this because he is seeking attention; cheap promotion.”
