According to reports, Goldie invited J Martins to South Africa in
November to appear in the video of a song they did together called
Give It To Me.
J Martins requested for a business class ticket meanwhile Goldie and
her Crew (Godfather) went through economy class and Goldie said she
could not afford to pay for a business class ticket.....
J Martins and Goldie argued about it
until J Martins agreed to come down to SA. When he got to SA, he
requested that Goldie should come pick him up at the airport and Goldie
sent someone to pick him up because she had a call time of 9am. When J
martins saw the driver, he said he would not go with him because Goldie
herself did not come to pick him up and he would not risk being
kidnapped.
J MArtins called Godfather who sent someone else to pick him up and
rather than in the hotel booked for him, he went ahead to check himself
into a USD 700 hotel. Even if he didn’t want to follow the driver sent
to him earlier, he would have gone to stay in the hotel booked for him.
Later that day, Goldie, Derenle Edun and other crew members went to
the hotel to see him and also begged him to check out so he could be
taken to the hotel that was earlier booked for him. To everyone’s
surprise, he refused to see them and requested that they send a note to
him through the reception. He gave excuse as being
sick.
On wednesday morning, which was the day scheduled for him to shoot,
they went back to see him in the hotel. They begged him to come on set
from 10 am – 1pm. He said before he would leave the hotel, Goldie should
pay him his money that he used in the hotel for five nights which was
$3,5oo i.e $700 per night.
At that point, Goldie was disorganised because she didn’t have that
kind of money. After they begged for long hours, he said she should pay
for two nights and he would sort out the rest. Eventually at 3pm, he
agreed to go on set. When he got there he requested that he should be
paid the hotel money before he would shoot the video. They eventually
did.
After paying him, he was supposed to go on set and then he started
another story that he could not go on set because he didn’t like the
costume, the stylists provided for him and he didn’t wear the costume.
They started begging again and he eventually wore one of the costumes
which is the indian costume he was suppose to wear during the day but
he wore it at night. They had three more scenes to shoot so Goldie had
to quickly rush to get another set of cloth for him. He was suppose to
do a street scene and instead of coming on set, he was on phone with
someone. By that time, it was 9pm and video director got upset and
packed up. they got pissed off because they were delayed by J
martins arrogance and attitude.
They eventually left and they were all surprised at his action.
Rather than being sober, he just went to the scene canteen and started
eating and chatting with people. Goldie was crying because the money she
paid to the video director and the people invited for the shoot and J
Martins didn’t even blink.
What pained them more was his next action, he went to AY the Tanzania
guy that she featured in the song that if she doesn’t pay for his
costume and hotel bills, he should not appear in the video.
This was confirmed because AY called Godfather and even told Goldie
the same thing. AY was influenced by J MArtins and he started acting
funny for hotel bills and costume allowance. J martins told AY that he
didn’t shoot the video with Goldie because she is not professional and
that if she doesn’t play ball, AY should not appear on her set.
With all that has happened, it has torn two music stars apart.
