He also questioned the whereabouts of the money generated from the songs and demanded an account of the earnings.

Shallipopi further alleged that Dapper had taken the catalogues of several artistes to Virgin Music and collected money from transactions involving their music rights without properly accounting to the artistes.

According to the singer, his own music catalogue was also involved in such a transaction.

He alleged that the catalogue had been sold and warned that he would report the matter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation.
