Music executive DapperDam has responded to allegations made by Nigerian artistes Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi and T.I Blaze concerning their business dealings with him, including disputes over contracts and payments.
DapperDam addressed the allegations in a series of posts shared on his official X account on Saturday, August 15, 2026.
The music executive denied the claims and maintained that available records would provide clarity on the issues raised by the artistes.
He also challenged Seyi Vibez, Shallipopi and T.I Blaze to make their contracts and financial records available for independent audits, insisting that such a process would help establish the facts surrounding their respective dealings.
The response comes amid growing public attention to the allegations, with the disputes sparking discussions among fans and members of Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
“I will not demean myself by disrespecting the one thing I stand on, which is my love for music. So I won’t stoop so low as to engage in insults.
“I have nothing to hide. The records exist. The authorities have them. Let the process establish the truth.
“Don’t come online and spill rubbish narratives, & lies, only to mislead the public!
“You chose to leave! No one forced you, and we are still fine without you! Move on! Stop acting obsessed!
“For the avoidance of doubt, this relationship began in 2021, and it began with me putting money down for your first project before getting any music from you.
“So who made who?
“God made me, nigga! Dapper Damm, Son of God!
“Mr. Elon! The jig is up!”
DapperDam referred to Shallipopi as “Mr. Elon” and said an audit had already been conducted, while challenging the artistes to seek another independent review.
He said, “we already did an audit from a reputable company! Surprise surprise, who owes who?
“If e sure for any of you, make we go KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, Templers, Aluko & Oyebode, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie.
“Any top law firm and auditing firm. Let them run a forensic analysis and interpret both the accounts and the contract for us, and tell you I cheated you!”
He also disputed a claim involving a scheduled appearance, saying he attended the event while Shallipopi did not.
“For our last scheduled appearance, you didn’t show up nigga. I was there, but you wanna come online and say, ‘let’s meet in court’, when you’re the one running from court,” he added.
DapperDam maintained that the relevant records were available and said the appropriate processes were ongoing.
“I have said what I need to say. The records are available. The appropriate processes are ongoing,” he wrote.
