Read Full Statement:
Our client FREEMAN has noted with concern, the falsehoods & disinformation & being peddled on social media by some individuals who have been commenting on a picture circulating on all social media platforms.
We are instructed by client, for professional reasons, preservation of the integrity of his name and brand; to set the record straight as follows;
1. The much talked about picture currently circulating on social media was taken during the video shooting of the song Robbery by Freeman.
2. Anyone who cares to watch the said video will realize that Freeman was putting on the same clothes, and carrying the same paraphernalia appearing in the footage. The same bag appears in the video footage. Many witnesses who were available during the video shoot can testify to the above.
3. It is very unfortunate that some individuals have intentionally decided to manipulate this opportunity; use such pictures to further perpetuate the falsehoods that Freeman could be involved in armed robbery which is far from being true. That picture was not taken during or after a robbery; it was all dramatized acting to depict the message of the love song ROBBERY.
4. Members of the public are implored not to jump into conclusions and are reminded that our very capable police officers and detectives are currently investigating these false allegations against our client and will not leave any stone unturned. We implore you all to be patient and allow the police to do their job professionally without being pressured to jump into any baseless conclusions not supported by concrete evidence.
