Top Notch Video Producer Accused Of “Conning” An Artiste Sh45,000 (PHOTOS)

This is not the first time we are hearing such an accusation being levelled against a popular video producer. We’ve had similar cases before, where artistes lament of being “conned” by video and music producers.
Many such cases have put the producers on the spot over playing ‘cat-and-mouse’ games after they’ve been paid sums of money to produce tracks for artistes. That’s the situation facing one Young Wallace. The music video producer has been accused by reggae-dancehall singer Buki Ranks (pictured below) of allegedly running away with his money!

Buki is known for his jam From A Distance.

Via a Facebook post, Buki says that he paid Wallace some Sh45,000 for a video shoot. However, he says, the producer disappeared into thin air never to be heard again.

“7months ago i paid the guy 45k for my video shoot. he took the cash n every time i call him he doesn’t pick up n only text back he’s busy or he’s in a shoot. i told him to refund my cash back but he refused,” he wrote in part.

We contacted Wallace (see photo gallery below), who didn’t deny the fact that he was given Sh45,000 by Buki as a “down payment” for his collabo video. According to him, a lot of “logistic mishaps” led to the current debacle.

“Actually, he is the one who complicated things. Just before we went into the initial shoot, Buki told me to cancel it because he wanted to do a shoot for a different song. This was at a time when we had finalised on a big chunk of the logistics. We had paid for the venue, equipments and other logistical aspects. So, him cancelling the shoot was very inconveniencing on my part. I even asked him if he would foot the remainder of the expenses but he declined. What could you have done if it was you? If he really feels aggrieved, let him go and report the matter to the police and let the legal procedure take its course. I still don’t know why he chose Facebook to air his grievances. Let him initiate a legal process and present all the evidence he has in court,” said Wallace.
