Shallipopi Accuses Dapper Music CEO of Forging Signature on Contracts

Shallipopi Accuses Dapper Music CEO of Forging Signature on Contracts

Nigerian singer Shallipopi has accused his former music executive, Dapper Music CEO Damilola Akinwunmi, of forging his signature on major contracts. Shallipopi alleged that he signed only a management deal in 2023, but his signature was later used on a 10-year distribution agreement and a deal with an international music company. He also claimed that his catalogue was sold to a foreign company without his consent. The singer alleged that money received from the deals was withheld from him. He has called on the EFCC and other authorities to investigate the claims. The allegations have not been independently verified, and Dapper Music's response was not included.

If he says he signed only a management deal, what process should artists use to verify every contract tied to their name?

Exactly. Artists should review every document carefully, keep signed copies, and involve an independent lawyer before committing.

The gap between a management deal and an alleged 10-year distribution agreement is exactly why contract clarity matters early.

These are serious allegations, but it is still worth allowing the contracts and responses from all sides to speak clearly.

Artists should keep signed copies, request independent legal review, and document every version before agreeing to long-term deals.
