Kahari S. Nash, The BooRay! King & CEO of KSN Gaming, followed by explaining the origin of Birdman’s involvement: “I was royally pleased with SCCG’s results with BooRay! so I made that ‘Bird Call’ to my Whoadie, Ceto President Power & Money Entertainment (Cash Money Affiliate), to see if Birdman wanted to use his global brand in the Gaming Industry like Drake did with Stake Casino. I knew it was a natural fit for Birdman because he’s a Big Gambler and the #1 Stunna.”
Garceto “Ceto” Hickerson, President of Power & Money Entertainment, added: “I had been watching what my Whoadie was doing with the BooRay! Brand, so when he presented this opportunity to me for Birdman with SCCG, I said let’s make it happen, and we did.”
