“….nothing happened….na Mayorkun cos am.,.how can he promised an hungry fans 500k? Without making provision on how the street boy will get the money?
“He did not even finish his performance….he was still having like 7 more minutes to play…the next thing….he said Calabar thank you, and head to his SUV vehicle….what do you think will not happen? The boys that came with the guy apprehended him for the money….the rest was history…,” Ekpenyong said.
