‘Sturridge sold me a pup with reward’

A RAPPER who reunited footie star Daniel Sturridge with his stolen dog has slammed him for only paying out £320 of a promised £30,000 reward.

The former Liverpool star offered the wedge for the return of

Pomeranian Lucky Lucci after he was taken in a raid at his

Hollywood home on Monday.

The 29-year-old said in a social media post: “Whoever knows who broke into my crib,

I’ll pay you anything. Whoever brings my dog back, 20 grand,

30 grand, whatever.”

LA rapper Killa Fame said the next day that his “nephews found him in an alley” and they met in the city for the

handover. But the musician, who lives in a car, later said: “So dishonest. Found dog Lucci by me and my nephew. $30,000 was just a lie. If I was white, I would of got the reward!”

He claimed the striker did not even say thank you when he picked his dog up, adding: “He spent less than five minutes here. He earns thousands per week yet he only gave a homeless family $400.”

Sturridge – on £120,000 a week before leaving Liverpool this summer – told police he does not think Mr Fame was involved in the burglary and the rapper said “LAPD has excluded me”.

Sturridge, linked with a move to Aston Villa, was contacted for comment.
