Shallipopi Ends Ties with Dapper Music, Cites Financial Mismanagement

 

Nigerian music sensation Crown Uzama, popularly known as Shallipopi, has officially severed ties with his record label, Dapper Music, amid allegations of financial mismanagement and exploitation.

The “Elon Musk” hitmaker announced his departure via an emotional statement shared on Instagram on December 11, 2024. Shallipopi accused the label of mishandling his finances and breaching his trust, describing the decision to leave as difficult but necessary.

“I’m officially ending my agreements with Dapper Music and Dvpper Digital. This wasn’t a choice I made lightly, but it’s a step I had to take after my trust was broken, my finances mishandled, and my rights as an artist were disregarded,” he wrote.

Shallipopi further emphasized that his move was about more than his personal experience, stating:

“This is bigger than just me. It’s about every artist and creator who pours their soul into their work, only to face betrayal and exploitation from people who should be looking out for them. It’s about standing up for fairness, integrity, and the respect that we all deserve.”

Allegations of Exploitation

The artist revealed that Dapper Music pushed him into agreements with Dvpper Digital, a company owned by the same stakeholders, prioritizing profits over his career development. He alleged that advances meant for him were diverted by the label without his knowledge or approval, resulting in mounting debts under his name.

“Instead of prioritizing my growth, they prioritized their own profits, putting my career and dreams at risk,” he explained. “Dvpper Digital Limited would give advances to Dapper Music under my name and catalogue, while Dapper Music squandered the funds, leaving me in the dark. The debt has now accrued to a significant amount that we are still trying to ascertain.”

Shallipopi has since removed all references to Dapper Music from his social media profiles and unfollowed the label’s leadership.

A New Chapter: Plutomania Records

In the wake of his exit, Shallipopi has launched his own record label, Plutomania Records. The new venture already boasts rising stars Zerry DL and Tega Boi as its first signees, signaling the artist’s commitment to fostering talent and building a legacy on his own terms.

The move reflects Shallipopi’s determination to take control of his career and chart his own path in the Nigerian music industry.

Industry Shake-up

Shallipopi’s departure from Dapper Music follows a similar exit by another prominent artist, Seyi Vibez, earlier this year. Both cases highlight growing concerns over artist-label relationships and calls for greater transparency and fairness within the music industry.

As Shallipopi embarks on this new chapter, fans and industry observers will be watching closely to see how Plutomania Records reshapes the artist’s trajectory and influences the broader music landscape.

‘I Cry Because of the Burdens People Carry’ – Pastor Jerry Eze Opens Up on Emotional Prayer Sessions

Renowned Nigerian televangelist and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has revealed the deep emotional weight behind his tearful prayer sessions, sparking conversations among his followers.

Speaking during an interview to mark the fifth anniversary of his popular online prayer platform, NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations), Pastor Eze explained that his tears are not mere theatrics but a reflection of his overwhelming compassion for the countless people who seek divine intervention.

“The Bible says we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,” he stated. “I have always known myself to be a very compassionate person, and coming into ministry, I realized that compassion is an inevitable tool for the miraculous.”

According to him, his inbox is flooded daily with heartbreaking messages from people facing unimaginable hardships, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He recounted a particularly devastating story: “How do you make this kind of prayer? You see a woman who lost her husband, tried to remarry, lost the second one, and after everything, tried to marry a third time only to lose him too. How do you not feel that?”

Pastor Jerry Eze’s tearful prayers have become a signature aspect of his ministry, drawing millions to his online services. His explanation has further solidified his reputation as a pastor deeply moved by the struggles of his congregation, with many testifying to miraculous turnarounds after his intercessions.

While some critics have questioned his emotional displays, his followers see them as a sign of genuine empathy and spiritual burden. As NSPPD continues to grow globally, Pastor Eze remains committed to his calling, declaring, “What God cannot do does not exist!”

Governor Monday Okpebholo aide condemn killing in Uromi…..

No amount of pressure, frustration, or disagreement should ever justify the taking of another person’s life. Life is sacred, and the act of unlawfully ending someone else’s existence goes against the fundamental principles of justice, morality, and human dignity.

With that being said, the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East where about eight person of the Hausa community where allegedly identified to be kidnappers beaten and burnt alive, is deeply condemnable. It is disheartening to witness such acts of violence within the uromi community, where peace and unity should be the guiding principles. The behavior exhibited during this unfortunate event was not only unnecessary but also unacceptable, as it disregarded the values of justice and respect for human life.

In times like this, we must remind ourselves that violence only leads to pain, loss, and division. As a people, we must strive for peaceful resolutions to any issues that may arise from our community and uphold the virtues of patience, understanding, and dialogue. No grievance, no matter how severe, should push anyone to commit such a grievous act.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the departed. May their soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.

May God heal the land, restore peace, and guide us towards a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect.

Daniel Eromosele Aka Pikolo,
Chief Protocol,

Speed Darlington Sparks Outrage After Pricing Coffin for Portable

Controversial Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has ignited a firestorm of reactions after a video of him pricing a coffin for fellow artist Portable surfaced online.

The drama between the two musicians escalated after Speed Darlington invited Portable to perform at his upcoming show, only to be met with rejection and insults. Portable, known for his outspoken nature, accused Speed Darlington of using his name for clout, insisting that his appearance fee was N20 million—an amount he claimed Speed Darlington couldn’t afford.

Following Portable’s refusal, Speed Darlington took to social media to express his frustration, stating that he regretted ever extending the invitation. He also revisited an old incident where Portable allegedly suffered a beating from an associate, vowing to release the footage as a form of public humiliation.

However, the feud took a darker turn when Speed Darlington shared a shocking video of himself negotiating the price of a coffin for Portable. In the clip, he was seen bargaining with an undertaker while directing his message at the Zazoo crooner. The video was captioned:

“@portablebaeby are you ready to die for not coming to my show April 13th?”

The post has since triggered widespread backlash, with many calling out Speed Darlington for taking their online banter too far. Some fans have dismissed the stunt as mere entertainment, while others have condemned it as insensitive and a potential threat.

As the feud continues to unfold, all eyes are on Portable’s response, with many wondering whether he will retaliate or simply ignore the provocation. Meanwhile, fans of both artists have taken to social media to share their opinions, with some urging them to settle their differences amicably.
