Nigerian rapper Sauce Kid, now known as Sinzu might be in big trouble.
A
recent surveillance video released online has shown someone who looks
like the rapper perpetrating debit card fraud in the city of Houston.
A
US local website ABC 7 has reported that authorities are currently
looking for a man wanted for withdrawing money from a victim’s bank
account at an ATM in Walgreen’s store on 8535 South Braeswood, Southwest
Houston on March 2, 2014.
The surveillance video shows a man with very close similarities to
Sinzu’s current physical characteristic which includes his prominent
dreadlocks and bushy beards. The suspect is seen at an ATM, swiping what
appeared to be a card with the woman’s account information on it. After
obtaining more than $300, the suspect then purchased multiple gift
cards at the cash register, according to police.
According to
Houston Police, ‘The suspect is described only as a black male, 20 to 30
years old, 5 feet 7 to 6 feet 2 inches tall and 150 to 190 pounds. He
had a mustache and beard, and long dreadlocks’.
This fits the Nigerian rapper’s exact appearance.
NET
placed a call to the Houston public safety organization Crime Stoppers
who confirmed the incident but refused to confirm if they had
established the identity of the unidentified man. They also don’t have
an idea who Sinzu is (at least not for now).
‘We can’t confirm to
you if we’ve identified the person. We can however take down any
details you have of the person in the video’, a young lady told our
reporter on the phone after putting him on hold for several minutes.
Efforts
to reach the rapper, real name Babalola Falemi have proved abortive as
he has not responded to our messages. We also noticed Sinzu has deleted
his Instagram page.
Sinzu made his music debut in 2006 with
the single ‘Omoge wa jo’ featuring renowned singer Mike Okri. He
released his first project ‘Money Long The Mixtape’ under QBeats then
managed by Tiwa Savage’s manager/husband Tunji ‘Tee-Billz’ Balogun
(formerly known as T-Billion). He signed to Storm Records in late 2008
and released his debut album ‘African American’.
Friends close to the rapper tell NET he may have added other strange businesses to his rap career.
‘He is into many other things. The kind of money he spends isn’t from his credit card’, one friend tells NET.
On
his IG page, Sinzu is well known for posting photos suggesting he’s
spending large amounts of Dollar bills, mostly taken at strip clubs and
house parties. The rapper is also known for rapping about his high-end
lifestyle on his recent songs.
His latest video titled ‘Dubai
trips’, shows him spending wads of cash in a strip club. It is believed
this video is original footage adapted into a music visual.
Story developing.
