"I'm unaware of Dagrin's music royalties"

Up-and-coming Nigerian artist Trod, the brother of late rapper Dagrin, took to Twitter to refute claims that he has been siphoning royalties from his brother’s music. Dagrin tragically passed away in an auto accident over 13 years ago, on April 22, 2010.

Photo Credit: @anewiki Source: google Trod’s response on social media came after accusations arose suggesting that he was secretly benefiting from the proceeds of Dagrin’s songs while their family struggled. The allegations gained further traction following a recent video in which the mother of Trod and Dagrin appealed to Nigerians for assistance. In response to the mounting speculation, Trod explicitly stated on Twitter that he has no knowledge of any royalties associated with Dagrin’s music. He openly challenged anyone who had been receiving royalties since 2010 to come forward and make themselves known. He wrote; “I dunno shiit about Grins Royalties… The person who has been getting paid for 13 years should come out. DMCE whatever?” The claims of Trod benefiting from his late brother’s royalties have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the fair distribution of proceeds generated by Dagrin’s music. The late rapper, known for his contributions to the Nigerian hip-hop scene, left behind a significant body of work that continues to resonate with fans. It is worth noting that Trod, an up-and-coming singer himself, has denied any involvement in the financial aspects of his brother’s music. His assertion that he is unaware of the royalties echoes the frustration expressed by fans and concerned individuals who believe that the funds should be rightfully allocated to support Dagrin’s family. As of now, no concrete evidence has been presented to substantiate the claims of Trod receiving royalties.

"Banky W has assured me I’ll receive royalties For Wizkid's debut album"

 

Music producer, Samuel Oguachuba a.k.a Samklef, has revealed that Banky W assured him on Saturday that he will be receiving his royalties for Wizkid’s debut album.
This came hours after the producer called out Banky W for ripping him off his royalties for his contribution to Wizkid’s debut album 11 years ago.

Noting that he’d receive “performance royalty” and “mechanical royalty” from Banky W, Samklef stated that the EME record label boas messaged him with a promise that he will get all his entitlements.

Giving an update on the issue via Instagram, Samklef wrote in Pidgin, “Banky don message me and he assure my say nobody don claim my money. Road to collecting my royalties. Mechanical royalty, performance royalty.

“It’s strictly business now. Zero emotions. And for those of u crying on my timeline. E Pele o! Lol.”
Prior to the update, he had threatened to involve his lawyers in the case, while also claiming that Banky W, whose real name is Bankole Wellington, told Wizkid to remove his (Samklef) name as a contributor from a song he produced.
His early Saturday Tweet read: “Claiming all my 11 years royalties for Wizkid’s Superstar album in a bit. My Lawyers will reach out. It’s 50/50.
