Odumodu recounts confrontation with man who filmed him

The rapper claimed that the man continued recording despite warnings from him and his bouncer.

He further alleged that the disagreement continued at a party after the individual brought out his camera again.

Odumodu said he eventually confronted the man on stage. However, he claimed they later settled their differences, with the individual even dancing with him while continuing to record.

The rapper said he was therefore surprised when the man subsequently took him to court, accusing him of assault.

Why Odumodu rejected lawyers' advice

Speaking about the legal battle, the rapper disclosed that his lawyers advised him to settle the matter outside court.

However, he insisted that he would not agree to an out-of-court settlement because he believed he had done nothing wrong.

He compared his decision to the experience of late American pop icon Michael Jackson, whom he claimed settled a case despite maintaining his innocence.
