CDQ’s reaction came just 24 hours after the NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, told journalists that the agency got intelligence that the rapper was in possession of a banned substance and stormed his Lekki home to arrest him.

He, however, said the artiste had been granted bail but is expected to report at NDLEA later on Thursday for further investigation into the matter.
