Xportsnews reported on September 9 that Minah told the outlet in an interview that she is still struggling and that her agency has filed another criminal complaint against her. Behind the criminal case are allegations of obstruction of business and fan letter theft.
In response to Minah’s allegations, the agency said that her claims are false, and they have not filed additional complaints. They told Xportsnews that the cases she mentioned were already included in their first complaint, and as of now, the investigation is ongoing.
