The lady claimed King Promise promised her a car, but never fulfilled his promise.
In an interview with Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM Friday, she claimed to have forked out a whooping she spent in excess of $150,000 to help pay for King Promise’ music videos shoots, travelling expenses, luxury cars, Hollywood producers, and promotions.
Yasmin threatened to take legal action against King Promise.
In 2018, the music duo came out to explain why they had took a hiatus from the music scene in Ghana. In an interview on DaybreakHitz on HitzFM, the duo said that the entry of King Promise, KiDi and Kuami Eugene saw the focus from them shift to the new artists. This eventually kicked them out of business as their music was not selling anymore.
However the duo managed to get back on their feet and are currently promoting their banger, ‘Same Girl’ which features Akwaboah.
The singer recently saw himself land in the hospital after he had an accident whilst skating. It seems this happened in Amsterdam during his last leg of his recent tour.
