According toofficial statements from Nobi Gaming, the original deal was for SonicFox to promote a $10,000 exhibition match of Mortal Kombat 1 between himself and Flocka at EVO. The contract gave $1,250 at the time of signing with an additional $1,250 afterward.
The match, which took place on Sep.19, 2023, ended with a victory for SonicFox. After going up 6-0,the star put on a blindfoldand still managed to win, though Flame did take a round.
As a co-owner of Nobi, Waka Flocka Flame quickly got involved in the dispute. He accused SonicFox of wrongdoing and making the FGC look bad in the process. The rapper has since changed his Twitter banner to Sub-Zero executing a Fatality with the faces photoshopped to himself and SonicFox.
SonicFox likely to drop court case
With $6,250 on the line, SonicFox began threatening legal action against the court. However, it appears that he has since decided against a court case. On Dec. 12, Sonic retweeted a post from fellow FGC personality Riley “Fanatiq” that affirmed their intent to move past the issue.
McLean also deleted several social media posts related to the event. While it could still go to court, the issue has most likely been settled. However, the court of public opinion and social media bickering will surely live on,much like some of SonicFox’s past feuds.
