  "account": "Music executive Dapper, founder of Dapper Group, has dismissed accusations from former artists Seyi Vibez and Shallipopi regarding the management of their music catalogues. In a series of posts on his X handle, Dapper challenged the two artists to submit their contracts and financial records for forensic examination, stating that the outcome would determine who owed whom. He emphasized that he has nothing to hide, and the records exist. Dapper also accused the artistes of refusing to undergo an audit of their accounts, while allegedly spending heavily on luxury items. He further alleged that both artists received healthy advances under their respective agreements and offered improved percentages. Dapper denied forging Shallipopi's signature, questioning the consistency of his earlier claims. The dispute arose after both artists left Dapper Music following disagreements over their business relationships with the label.",
