The fame it seems brings wrong attention at times, but he was not refused medical attention.

Considering how little money even a more famous singer then this guy makes he probably wont spend the money on a private driver.

These singers can make quite a lot from private appearances. They should be able to get around without fear. Anyway it seems like they caught the perps. What's up with that guy's face though? He looks like he's caked in makeup with a botox face.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I think not. Scratched elbow and grazed knuckles. No facial injuries despite allegedly being beaten up by 5 men. He was well enough to have his photo taken for PR purposes.

He's got the drip fitted so that will convince many that he's badly injured.
