02Departure
Dammy Krane and credit card fraud
In 2017, Dammy Krane was kicked out of Hypertek Digital by 2Baba, as Ademola Olonilua shared a story with The Punch saying, it was for a very wrong reason as he was arrested for credit card fraud and grand theft in the United States. A source very close to the singer, in a chat with Saturday Beats said part of his woes was his expulsion from Hypertek.
