He requested support from comedians, musicians, and particularly mentioned Asake for “making money” from using Utabor’s voice.
He said part; “Helen is a police officer who likes her job. She was controlling traffic when a driver hit her and broke her leg. She was taken to four different hospitals with her uniform when she was bleeding. All the hospitals rejected her and told her to bring N1.5 million before she could be treated.
Meanwhile, she does not have that amount. Her daughter reached out to me on Instagram and I did my investigation to know if she was on duty. Was she supposed to be there? They sent me a CCTV footage showing the car that hit her but we could not even get the car’s number…”
However, fans flooded social media, urged YBNL music star, Asake, to lend assistance to the woman. Many insisted that he owed her royalties for using her viral ‘epp me epp me’ slang as intro in his hit song ‘Peace Be Unto You’.
