Godwon Regrets Role In Sinzu's Theft Case

In April. news of a Sauce kid (Sinzu) look-alike being wanted for theft of about $300 being wanted in the United States. Many who saw the short clip from the surveillance camera were sure that was the Nigerian rapper, Sinzu.
Things moved from bad to worse when another very talented Nigerian rapper, Godwon tweeted about the incident. The tweet read:

"At your age, you can’t make peace but have time to be thief and make the news… I have been shady but I haven’t been posting pix of two new Mercedes when I need 300 bucks so bad I had to steal."

That tweet by Godwon led to his case of being arrested for candy theft abroad sometime ago being dug up. Goddy has now told Punch in a new interview that he regrets tweeting about Sinzu's case. He also revealed he was indeed arrested for candy theft in the past but was never convicted.

"Somebody tweeted to me about Sinzu’s case in the US and I only retweeted it. I called him but he didn’t want to talk to me.I believe it was somebody close to him that sent that tweet to me. He doesn’t realise that people in the US are your friends but once you outshine them, they burn your cable. People don’t want to think reasonably. How could it be me? I am in Abuja; do I have surveillance in the US? The cat was already out of the bag. The US officials were already after him. I feel bad for him. If I had known, I wouldn’t have retweeted it. By the time I realised it, it was too late. I had known all along about his case. I even felt for him to be involved in such crime, he needed money. But I suggested clean money to him, he wouldn’t want it.At the moment, some blogs don’t post my music, some radio people don’t want to talk to me. It is only God that has been helping me", he told  Punch
