Popular Nigerian musician Shallipopi has called out Dapper Music over alleged financial exploitation, weeks after announcing his exit from the label.
NEWSUNPLUG reports Shallipopi parted ways from the record label in November 2024.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Shallipopi accused the label of breach of trust and mishandling of his finances.
He wrote: “I am officially ending my agreement with Dapper Music and Dvpper Digital. This was not a choice I made lightly, but a step I had to take after my trust was broken, my finances mishandled, and my rights were disregarded as an artist.
“This is bigger than just me. It is about every artiste and creator who pours their soul into their work, but only to face betrayal and exploitation from people that should be looking out for them. It is about standing up for fairness, integrity, and respect that we all deserve.
“Instead of prioritizing my growth, they prioritised their own profits, putting my career and dreams at risk.”
