Veteran Nigerian rapper 2Shotz has shared a hard story. He says an assault claim by actress Beverly Osu wrecked his life. The claim, he adds, also ruined his work. He spoke on The Teju Babyface Show.
The artiste says people called him many names online. He felt torn apart by the crowd. At the time, he lived in the United States. He adds his then wife later used the story against him.
Rapper recalls a scuffle and the start of rumours
He says the issue with Beverly Osu started long before marriage. They met often at his house, he says. She wanted to model and showed up in a video. Later, they got close and had a fling a few times.
Things changed after a fight, he says. They argued over calls from her mum. He says, “I had not seen her in months.” Friends then woke him and said blogs were on fire. They told him he had “engaged Beverly,” which shocked him.
He explains what happened during the clash. “I no dey beat person,” he says. He claims they scuffled and his hand brushed her face. She called it beating, he adds. “If I beat you, it will show,” he says.
Fallout hits shows, deals, home and mental health
The rapper says the storm cost him his marriage. He also lost contact with his daughter. Work dried up, he adds. He says shows stopped, and deals went away.
Money problems followed fast, he says. He lost his house. At his lowest point, he says he almost took his own life. “I waka enter water,” he recalls. Bystanders pulled him out, he adds.
