Speaking during a recent episode of the Black Box podcast, the ‘Aboki’ crooner disclosed that the staggering amount was paid to only one cannabis supplier based in Lagos between 2020 and 2026.

The rapper described the transition as challenging but necessary, noting that personal growth often requires difficult sacrifices and intentional lifestyle changes.
