Daniel Sturridge Pays £16,000 to Settle Five-Year Row with US Rapper Who Found His Stolen Pomeranian Dog – After Ex-Liverpool Star ‘Refused’ to Cough Up the £23,000 Reward
In an astonishing turn of events, former Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge has reportedly paid £16,000 to settle a five-year-old dispute with a US rapper who found his stolen Pomeranian dog. The astonishing payment comes after it emerged that Sturridge had initially refused to cough up the £23,000 reward he had offered for the safe return of his beloved pet.
The drama began in 2018 when Sturridge’s Pomeranian, Lucci, went missing while he was playing for West Brom. In a desperate bid to retrieve his pet, Sturridge publicly offered a substantial reward for any information leading to Lucci’s safe return.
Fast forward five years and the dog has finally been found by US rapper and entrepreneur, Sheck Wes. However, despite agreeing to hand over the £23,000 reward as promised, Sturridge allegedly reneged on his pledge, sparking an intense row with the rapper.
In a surprising move, it seems that Sturridge has now opted to settle the dispute by paying £16,000 in damages to Sheck Wes. The exact details of the agreement remain unclear, but sources close to the matter claim that the former footballer was left with no choice but to pay up after initially refusing to honor his original promise.
The drama has raised questions about Sturridge’s motivations for initially offering the reward and subsequently backing down on his commitment.
