Excerpt from the article published on the dubious portal "viraln32.com":
But what caught everyone's attention was his statement about Halil Kastrati, where he says: "If I sing to the imam on birthdays without money, and what was rumored that Halil Kastrati builds houses while Mihrija and I celebrate our birthdays together with the head of the BFI in Macedonia is unconstitutional, Halil builds houses with money from people who donate to him, while I help with the money I earn myself," Naim Abazi said, among other things, in an interview for Mirage.
