Taking to his Instagram account on Saturday 3, Otach emphasized that contracts are signed by both parties for a reason and defends his investment in organizing the events.
"Boutross is quite talented, but he is still new in this music business. He will gradually learn that contracts are signed by both parties for a reason. I invest my hard earned money to put up these events, so it's in order for me to protect my investments.
"I can not fly an artist from Kenya to the UK only for them to come and start arranging side events behind my back... From my end, this additional show in Scotland and online defamation is a legal issue. Boutross will be hearing from my lawyer in less than 72 hours outlining the damages I am claiming," Otach wrote.
