Cross made the allegation in a video shared on his social media page, where he narrated how the incident reportedly occurred.

According to the reality star, he was inside his car when a group of beggars approached his window and began speaking to him. He said he did not turn them away, but one of the men allegedly reached into his vehicle, grabbed an item and fled.

“Federal government, I just got robbed. All these beggars, they were in my window talking to me. I did not refuse the guy and he just ripped off something from my car and ran away,” Cross said.

“He had me locked up, that’s what he did to me. That’s the deal, I can’t forgive that. Even after the fight, we are still enemies for life.”

Lady Accuses Reekado Banks’ Team of Failing to Honour Compensation Promise

A Nigerian woman has accused the management team of popular singer Reekado Banks of failing to fulfil an alleged promise to compensate her after she joined the artiste on stage during a performance.

In a video circulating online, the woman explained that she was invited onto the stage during the performance, where she danced with Reekado Banks before preparing to leave.

According to her account, a member of the singer’s management team approached her afterwards and informed her that she would receive compensation for participating in the performance.

She said she had not asked for payment and did not initially expect to receive anything. However, because the offer was made to her, she provided her contact details to the team member.

The woman said she later sent a message introducing herself but received no further communication.

She claimed that several days later, another person who identified himself as a member of Reekado Banks’ team contacted her and asked whether she had received the promised compensation.

Confused by the development, she said she contacted the first manager to verify the identity of the person who reached out to her.

According to her, the manager requested a screenshot of the conversation, which she provided. She alleged that the manager subsequently stopped responding to her messages.

She said she followed up again several days later but received no response, leaving the matter unresolved.

The woman expressed disappointment, stressing that the issue was not primarily about the money.

She said she would not have expected compensation if no promise had been made, but once an offer was made, she believed it should either be honoured or properly communicated.

As of the time of filing this report, Reekado Banks and his management team had not publicly responded to the allegation.

Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode has defended women who desire marriage, saying the decision to want a husband should not be interpreted as desperation or a lack of ambition.

The actress shared her thoughts in an Instagram post while addressing the criticism women sometimes face over their personal choices.

According to her, women should be allowed to pursue different aspirations, including faith, career, financial stability, family, friendship, purpose and marriage.

She concluded by wishing women seeking marriage the opportunity to find good partners and enjoy fulfilling unions.
