He also alleged that he supported the entertainer during his arrest by travelling to Abuja several times and spending his personal money to resolve issues.

Despite these efforts, Goski said his compensation did not reflect his contributions.

“250,000, 0.75% out of 30 million. Not even one per cent. Not even one million,” he said.

The former aide further claimed that Speed Darlington had previously promised to give him six per cent from every job but later argued that they had no formal contract.

Goski also complained about frequently paying his own transport expenses, even when arranging flights for the singer and his assistant.

Beyond the money, Goski expressed disappointment over what he described as a lack of appreciation after four years of working with the entertainer.

“Even if I don’t have a contract with you, does it mean that you keep me like trash?” he asked.

Declaring the relationship over, Goski warned the public against contacting him about the singer’s bookings or other professional matters.

“I’m not with Speedy, and I’ll never be with him anymore,” he said.
