Nigerian singer Shallipopi has made shocking allegations against music executive Dapper, alleging forgery of his signature on music distribution agreements and unauthorized collection of funds from an international record company. In a statement posted on social media, the singer claimed his original agreement with Dapper in 2023 was solely for management purposes and did not grant the executive the authority to sign a 10-year distribution deal on his behalf.
According to Shallipopi, Dapper later forged his signature to sign a 10-year distribution contract and allegedly received payment from Virgin Music Group without his consent. The singer emphasized that he did not make the allegations to engage in an online dispute but instead reported the matter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Shallipopi urged the EFCC, the Nigerian government, the media, and the African public to take his accusations seriously. The latest claims add to an ongoing dispute between Shallipopi and Dapper Music, with the singer ending his partnership with the company in December 2024 due to financial, transparency, and contractual concerns.
Dapper Music has denied the allegations, stating it has provided accounting records and is cooperating with auditors. As of now, the allegations have not been independently verified.
