Shallipopi 与 Dapper Music 爆发激烈口水战：版权纠纷或将升级为刑事调查

Nigerian rapper Shallipopi (real name Crown Uzama) is embroiled in a ferocious dispute with music executive Dapper Music, escalating from contractual disagreements to allegations of fraud and potential criminal charges. His explosive statements on X reveal claims of withheld royalties for 46 songs, including his hit single “E Don Cast,” and the unauthorized sale of his music catalogue to Virgin Music. The accusations center around substantial sums of money – specifically referencing Shallipopi’s ‘laho money’ (personal earnings) – and a complex web of alleged manipulations within the Nigerian music industry.

Crucially, Shallipopi alleges Dapper misrepresented information to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), suggesting deliberate deception aimed at obscuring wrongdoing. He threatened direct action, stating his intention to file a formal complaint with the EFCC and pursue legal remedies. Further fueling the intensity of the situation are accusations directed at individuals within Dapper’s circle, including claims of witchcraft (“juju for mouth”) and manipulative tactics.

The dispute is amplified by broader tensions within the Nigerian music scene, as evidenced by similar grievances raised by other artists like T.I Blaze and Seyi Vibez regarding royalty payments. Shallipopi’s willingness to name names and threaten legal action – specifically invoking the EFCC – signals a serious escalation. The potential for criminal investigation based on these allegations is now significant, transforming what began as a contractual dispute into a battle with potentially substantial legal and financial repercussions. This case reflects deeper issues of transparency and accountability within Nigeria’s rapidly evolving music industry landscape.
