In a statement posted on Facebook last night, Fadi wrote that he was personally informed by a Zouk personnel - Byden - that he could play until 4.15am with an additional 15 minutes more if he wanted to. Echoing Fadi's account that he has always played past his contracted set times, regular Zouk patrons reiterated that guest DJs would always play until closing time.



On the same night, Fadi wrote, Zouk's new owner (the nightclub was sold to Genting Hong Kong in October last year) was hosting a VIP guest a.k.a. Ashman Najib, son of Malaysian PM Najib Razak. The DJ was introduced to Ashman and the new owner before he started his set.



Fadi started his set at 1.40am. At around 3.30am, the aforementioned Byden approached Fadi to ask if he would be willing to play back-to-back with Ashman. Fadi declined, as it was already agreed beforehand that he will play well into the night.
