Shallipopi accuses Dapper of withholding royalties from 46 songs

Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has accused music executive Dapper Music of withholding royalties from 46 of his songs and allegedly selling his music catalogue without properly accounting for the proceeds.

The singer made the allegations on X while speaking about his ongoing dispute with Dapper over royalties and the management of his music catalogue.

Shallipopi claimed Dapper was withholding income from 46 songs, including his hit track, “E Don Cast,” and questioned what had happened to the royalties generated from the songs.

“Dapper nor forget na my laho money Dey with me o, u Dey hold me 46 songs royalty income including my ‘E don cast’ money,” he wrote.

The singer further alleged that Dapper took the catalogues of several artistes to Virgin Music and collected money from the transactions without properly accounting for the proceeds.

Shallipopi also claimed that his own catalogue had been sold and threatened to report the matter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“Dapper you Dey hold me money o, and u sell my catalog now u Dey act confuse, I go EFCC office i go write statement against u,” he stated.

He subsequently accused Dapper of allegedly misleading the EFCC, insisting that he was not the only artiste affected by the executive’s alleged dealings.

“And u go another EFCC office Dey lie for them, you forget say nor be only me u scam lol,” Shallipopi added.

The singer also accused Dapper of manipulating artistes and made further allegations about the executive’s conduct within the music industry.

“Jude nor sabi work reach u and u know broski u be master manipulator, u Dey put juju for mouth Dey talk to trenches boys u know what you are senior man, you too pour us spit.

“Dapper if to say I nor guide na so u for end men, men mount sha,” he wrote.

The latest allegations add to the growing public dispute between Shallipopi and Dapper, with the singer now threatening to formally petition the EFCC over the alleged handling of his royalties and music catalogue.
