Ruggedman sampled his music without consent and after reports of litigation reached him, he went in search of the juju proponent, Questionmarkmag.com gathers. He got the General’s phone number through his son via Facebook but before then he had called the number of his CD jacket and it turned out to be his marketer’s contact (not management). On receipt of phone number, his manager got across to the General and a meeting was fixed.
On the day agreed for the first meeting, the General wasn’t picking his calls so it didn’t happen. Afterwards, another meeting was rescheduled and this time, the rapper went with an older colleague and comedian Gbenga Adeyinka. The general resides in Ketu and on the sight of the comedian, there was shouting from the woman who recognized him.
