Music executive and talent manager, Soso Soberekon, has slammed a defamation suit on singer Harrysong, demanding N500 million for compensation.
This is coming after Harrysong alleged that Soberekon tried to kill him in the past, claiming that he had evidence to his allegations.
In a podcast with “Frankly Speaking” posted on Monday, Harrysong had tagged Soberekon as his enemy, while alleging he sent “people to come and kill me in Port Harcourt.”
However, Soberekon, in his reaction through his lawyers, sent a defamation notice to Harrysong.
