DapperDam refutes Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi, T.I Blaze contract claims, calls for audit
On August 15, 2026, music executive DapperDam took to his X account to rebut allegations made by Nigerian artistes Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi and T.I Blaze concerning disputed contracts and unpaid royalties. He asserted that he has nothing to hide, saying that all relevant financial records and agreements exist and are accessible to authorities. DapperDam challenged the three artistes to subject their contracts and payment records to an independent forensic audit by reputable firms such as KPMG, PwC, Deloitte or top law firms, claiming an earlier audit already cleared him of wrongdoing. He also disputed Shallipopi’s claim that he missed a scheduled appearance, stating he attended the event while the artiste did not, and accused the singer of running from court proceedings. DapperDam emphasized that the appropriate processes are ongoing and urged the public not to be misled by online narratives. The dispute, which began around 2021 when DapperDam funded the artistes’ early projects, highlights recurring contract tensions in Nigeria’s music industry. Fans and industry watchers may want to monitor whether any party pursues legal action or agrees to third‑party verification, as the outcome could affect future collaborations and royalty distributions.
