The South African hitmaker is allegedly suing his former booking manager for defrauding him according to a TimeLive report. TimeLive report states that a South African police spokesperson confirmed that a case was opened on Wednesday the 28th of September 2022.
According to Captain Mavela Masondo, “a case of fraud was opened at Douglasdale Police Station. The investigation is underway, no arrest has been made yet,” said the captain.
The bookings manager is accused of misleading promoters into thinking they were booking Oscar Mbo and pocketing the money for herself. The deep house star has been accused in the past of not showing up to events and not refunding promoters.
According to a statement posted on Oscar’s instagram page, the hitmaker opened up about the alleged fraud which was taking place without his consent.
“Regrettably, it has come to my attention that my former booking manager has been taking bookings and fraudulently adding personal banking details to the invoice instead of the company details. She has been using my name and brand without my knowledge or consent.”
“A case has been opened with my local law enforcement office and due steps will be taken. We are working tirelessly to ensure the money for these gigis is returned to the promoters as we unfortunately cannot attend them as there are other gigis that have been confirmed that clash with them.”
According to TshisaLive the Dj said he had since switched his bookings manager. He also called upon all who might have booked to come forward with proof.
“Since we are not fully aware how many people have been affected by this situation. We plead with all the promoters who have booked us for this upcoming season to please contact us to verify the legitimacy of their bookings.”
“For those who have been defrauded, please contact us and we will share the case number with you to stay up to date with the development of this case.”
