- Well-known Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune, has rejected claims that he cheated singer and former BBNaija winner, Laycon.
In August, Laycon accused DJ Neptune of not paying him royalties for their song “Nobody Icons” Remix. The reality star stated he had not received any money from the track, which came out four years ago.
- On a recent episode of the “Zero Conditions” podcast, DJ Neptune stated that he did not defraud Laycon. 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 condemned the way Laycon exposed him on social media, saying he made it look like he cheated him.
