The drama surrounding Burna Boy's South African concert is far from over. US businessman Gregory Wings has been cleared of fraud charges, but he is not done just yet.

"My prayer is that the criminal case opened against me be dropped and also a case of extortion."

Gregory told the news publication that he had suffered a major financial setback because of this case. But his time in Africa is not over.

His head is still in the game, but he will be focusing on his construction business.

"My only goal with my case right now is to get my money back."

Wings opens case of fraud against business partner

In court papers seen by Briefly News, Gregory Wings has also opened a case against one of the organisers, Sedote Nwachukwu, who also happened to be his business partner.

To make matters worse, Sedote is also allegedly wanted by the police in Sandton as well as the ones in Midrand on fraud charges. After the concert was cancelled, the accused left the country, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Wings to pursue legal action

The investor plans to pursue legal action against certain parties for the trauma he endured.

These reportedly include Ticketpro, who cancelled the show and allegedly refunded those who had purchased the tickets already and FNB. He also claimed that his reputation took a knock, therefore he is looking to sue Cake Media and Khanya PR.

Gregory's lawyer confirmed to the news publication:

"This entire experience has been very traumatic for my client and he wishes for justice to take its course."
