Popular Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Neptune has denied defrauding singer and former BBNaija winner, Laycon.
DAILY POST recalls that Laycon recently called out DJ Neptune over unpaid royalties for their collaboration ‘Nobody Icons’ Remix’.
The reality star had claimed that he was yet to receive a dime from the song which was released four years ago.
Reacting during his appearance on the recent episode of the ‘Zero Conditions’ podcast, DJ Neptune insisted that he didn’t defraud the singer.
DJ Neptune said: “Laycon is my brother regardless. Let me just establish here that nobody ate anybody’s money. I want to believe that you’ve knowledge of the music business. When you’ve a deal with a distro company or a label and you’re being given advanced marketing money to push the music, the video or whatnot. They’ve to recoup. It’s a return on investment.
“So that’s where we are with ‘Nobody Icons’ Remix’. What Laycon is fighting for is the documentation. In all fairness to him, he reached out to me. So it wasn’t like anyone was cheating anyone. When Laycon reached out to me, I referred to my legal team. I even asked him for his lawyer’s contact which he sent to me and I forwarded it to them.
“I’m not a legal personnel. I’m a creative. I have to perform and take care of my family. So I’ve put this in the hands of people that will handle it. And then there was a conversation that was ongoing [between our lawyers]. So I guess, maybe my own fault was not going back to find out what was going on. But a certain percentage was proposed to Laycon’s team and they kicked back at it. And the conversation was just there.”
He berated the manner in which Laycon called him out on social media, saying he made it look like he defrauded him.
