The court documents said Clark's family had already spent all its money on his lawyer, who agreed to work at a reduced rate for him.

But the accused added that it's necessary to add a private investigator to his defence to investigate his case properly and to prepare effectively for trial.

According to Clark, he's already identified a private investigator who will work on the case for the reduced rate of N32,500 per hour.

The accused allegedly shot dead the Migos member on November 1 in Houston in the presence of his uncle and band member.

Houston Police Department announced last week Clark had been arrested and charged with the murder of the rapper. He's currently being held on a N938million bond.

However, should he be released, he will be placed under house arrest. He will be prohibited from processing firearms or any deadly weapons and must refrain from using bhang or any controlled substance without a prescription.
