According to Olunloyo, the discord started when the artiste, Wealth 9ja allegedly got profiled by SARS operatives who tagged him as a fraudster ‘yahoo boy’.
She stated that herself, her son, Rich KJT and the artiste were on their way to a recording studio when they got stopped.
#EndSars It all started as my artist told me at a certain junction in Badore, Ajah he is always profiled because of his nice car and outfits as a “Yahoo Boy”. He is not a criminal 😠 My artist @iamwealth9ja and my son @Richkjtmusic went to a studio this morning. #Kemitalkslaw pic.twitter.com/745csaVLud

Olunloyo alleged that SARS operatives ordered them out of their car to search without warrant.
When we left the studio for a listening session we got in the car & boom at the junction SARS @PoliceNG pulled @iamwealth9ja aside. They visibly caused fear for @Richkjtmusic my son who is American and almost dialed @USinNigeria for his protection. They ordered us out! #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/QWpBPH4u3n

She then shared a video of her altercation with a certain Officer Kelechi of SARS, who demanded to also search her purse.
Officer Kelechi taping me was the leader of the team. His beef was that I harassed him and lied that police ever EXTORTED @iamwealth9ja. He also demanded to search my bag saying I was hiding DRUGS! I told him he needed a search warrant cos I know my CIVIL RIGHTS 😠🇳🇬⚖️ #EndSARS pic.twitter.com/0ebDsIhp5R
