Mr Krane was appreciating him on Instagram, and appreciating for teaching him all what he know. A few months ago, Sinzu was also arrested for credit card fraud, and he is also doing time for his offence.

                      

Though Dammy Krane came on Twitter to debunk the issue as rumours only, but going by the police records and database that was searched, this is not looking good for the young man.
