Nigerian musician Shallipopi has publicly accused Dapper Music of financial exploitation and breach of trust, weeks after announcing his departure from the label in November 2024.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Shallipopi expressed that his decision to end his contract was due to mishandling of his finances and disregard for his rights as an artist. He criticized the label for prioritizing its own profits over his career growth, which he believes jeopardized his dreams and aspirations.
Shallipopi emphasized that his decision was not just about him but about standing up for fairness and integrity in the music industry. He expressed his disappointment in the label’s betrayal, urging for better treatment of artists who invest their time and creativity into their work.
This marks a significant turning point in Shallipopi’s career as he calls for respect and better practices within the music business.
