Nigerian music sensation Shallipopi has announced his departure from Dapper Music, citing several unresolved issues with the label. Among his concerns were a lack of transparency, including allegations that funds intended for his projects were redirected to other ventures under his name without his knowledge. Additionally, he criticized the terms of his contract, which he described as a “forever deal” granting the label 30% of his earnings across all his catalog indefinitely. These issues highlight recurring challenges in artist-label agreements, especially in emerging music industries.
