“Since I came back from vacation, a few days ago, information appeared online that I had a car accident around Buzău and that I am in a serious condition in the hospital! I didn’t know. I found out with you “the artist wrote on his Facebook page.
He told how he found out that a person was calling the press anonymously “sell” this false information.
“I received many phone calls and messages of concern from acquaintances, from you, the fans on Instagram and Facebook, especially in private, asking me if I was ok, if my little boy was in the car, if I could still support the shows and the scheduled concerts. Good thing my mother (aged 84) and my family were with me when I read the blurb. I can imagine how my mother would have felt if I had been away and read the news.”the artist also wrote.
He thanked those in the press who checked the information before publishing it.
“When any idiot can write anything, misinforming and causing possible emotional trauma to your family, jeopardizing your professional activity, it’s NOT a joke anymore!!! Here I’m talking about my case, which, unfortunately, is not unique. I’m raising a signal of alarm. Check what you read, if the source is credible! And the one or those who launched this fake news will be dealt with by the law, article 404 of the Criminal Code. Already my lawyer it has enough data and we will nominally alpha who it was. Be healthy and have a weekend as you want it.he added.
