ABDU ROZIK CLAIMS NOT BEING PAID FOR BIGG BOSS 16
Tajikistani singer and influencer Abdu Rozik, known for his stint in Bigg Boss 16, has accused his former management team of withholding his earnings and misappropriating his income. “I worked with them for three or four years. They helped me grow, but the money from the shows I did, they took it. I didn’t get paid a single dollar for Bigg Boss. They scammed me badly,” he said on the House of Zen podcast.

He added that he was often underestimated due to his stature. “I guess because of my height, people underestimate me and think they can fool me,” he added. Rozik also clarified that he does not own a house or car but continues to support his family of seven despite financial struggles.

“I have a growth hormone condition, and I am proud that despite everything, I am supporting seven people in my family,” he stated. Reflecting on the betrayal, he concluded by emphasizing the importance of caution in business dealings: “My only request is for people to be honest and work clean. We need to be very careful about who we trust.”

RAPPER HITZONE ACCUSES PRINCE NARULA OF WITHHOLDING PAYMENTS
Actor and reality TV star Prince Narula has been accused of financial misconduct by rapper Hitzone, who alleges he was not paid for his creative contributions to two songs, including Bang Bang. To support his claims, the rapper shared voice notes on social media, alleging that Narula has repeatedly avoided fulfilling payment promises.

In a YouTube video, Hitzone questioned the ethics behind the situation: “I want to ask: are rappers earning money? Or are Roadies judges earning money? If they are earning, why are they withholding an artist’s dues?,”highlighting his frustration over the lack of compensation.

He alleged the dispute involves Bang Bang, released on Narula’s YouTube channel, and another unreleased track that has already been filmed. Hitzone also claimed that despite prior payment discussions, Narula’s team delayed the process and later said the matter would be addressed after he returned from the reality show The 50.
