In a viral interview clip, Tram stated, "First off, no, I do not owe 400 million. Obviously, I would probably not be this chill if I was owing 400 million."

Tram confirmed his involvement in a "viral car accident" in 2024, emphasizing that it was unplanned. He expressed irritation that public focus remained on the wreckage rather than the survival of those involved. "Everyone is concerned about the car and whatever happened. No one died in that accident," he said.

So, in 2024, I was involved in a car accident, a viral car accident. Obviously, the car accident happened. It wasn’t planned. It’s not like we planned to have an accident that day. Life happens. But thank God no one died.

— TramConfirming the accident while stressing it was unplanned and resulted in no fatalities.

He also corrected previous statements regarding the vehicles, asserting that they were not rented but belonged to a friend who was also injured in the crash. Tram indicated he was "not allowed to speak on certain things" regarding the matter, suggesting complexities beyond public knowledge. The accident, which occurred on September 14, 2024, involved a Corvette and a Jeep, resulting in significant damage and injuries to Tram, including head and jaw injuries. His earlier appeal for public support, citing damages exceeding ₦400 million, had drawn mixed reactions online, with his latest comments reigniting skepticism due to the contradictions.

Everyone is concerned about the car and whatever happened. No one died in that accident.
