- Ayo Jaguda took to Twitter to assert that Dapper music did nothing wrong to Shallipopi
- He explained that Dapper invested millions in their promotion and is looking to recover that investment.
Ayo, a prominent Nigerian music blogger and founder of Jaguda, has shared his view on the ongoing controversy surrounding Shallipopi and Dapper Music, led by Damilola Akinwunmi.
The label’s relationship with two of its signed artists has been under scrutiny, generating interest in the inner workings of the music industry.
Ayo in reaction, expressed his thoughts on the matter via Twitter, suggesting that Dapper Music’s actions should be viewed as a standard business practice rather than a wrongdoing.
He highlighted the significant investments the label made in promoting its artists, which would naturally be expected to generate a return.

@cuterizey: “Nah the farm work they make those artistes feel say dem don arrive, not knowing that farming don’t bring revenue.”
@S4S02: “My observation. Since it was unveiled Dapper was dating baci was when some pple started having agenda and Co. And what most of this pple dnt understand is, a quiet person is more dangerous than a loud marley. This moves can reck all of their career if he stands on business.”
@xybox: “Most naija artistes sign their initials record contracts from a position of weakness. That’s why they will always look for ways to break the shackles once they have sufficient clout.”
@Bilionaire_Bish: “How about transparency? If he was carried along with regard to expenses am sure he would have made a more reasonable decision all along.”
