Laycon Calls Out DJ Neptune Over Unpaid Royalties for ‘Nobody (Icons Remix)’
Laycon, known for winning Big Brother Naija’s ‘LockDown’ edition and establishing himself as a notable Nigerian singer, has recently taken to social media to address an unresolved financial dispute with DJ Neptune. The issue revolves around unpaid royalties for their collaborative track, ‘Nobody (Icons Remix),’ which has been a point of contention for the past four years.
In a candid post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Laycon voiced his frustration about DJ Neptune’s lack of communication regarding the outstanding payment. He highlighted that despite the considerable time that has passed since the release of the song, Neptune has yet to address or resolve the matter.
Laycon’s post read, “Abeg o, DJ Neptune how far my agreement and split for the ‘Nobody (Icons Remix)’ song though. Is it not still ready? Haba it’s been 4 years.” This message underscores Laycon’s growing impatience and his call for Neptune to fulfill their financial agreement.
The artist’s frustration is palpable as he questions the delay and lack of transparency from Neptune. Laycon’s appeal for justice reflects broader issues within the Nigerian music industry regarding contract adherence and financial integrity.
The delay in payment has not only affected Laycon personally but also brought to light systemic problems in managing collaborative projects within the industry. As Laycon continues to seek resolution, this public call-out has sparked discussions among fans and industry peers about fair practices and accountability.
Laycon’s bold move to address the issue publicly aims to push DJ Neptune to act promptly and settle the overdue royalties. The situation remains unresolved, and many are watching closely to see if Neptune will respond and rectify the financial oversight.
