DJ Neptune Fires Back: ‘I Didn’t Defraud Laycon!’

Popular Nigerian disc jockey DJ Neptune has addressed recent allegations from singer and former BBNaija winner Laycon, who accused him of not paying royalties for their collaboration on the “Nobody Icons” Remix.

Laycon had publicly claimed that he had yet to receive any payment from the song, which was released four years ago. In response to these accusations, DJ Neptune appeared on the “Zero Conditions” podcast to set the record straight.

DJ Neptune clarified, “Laycon is my brother regardless. Let me make it clear: nobody has stolen anyone’s money. I want to believe you understand the music business. When you have a deal with a distribution company or a label, and they provide advance marketing funds, they need to recoup that investment.”

He continued, “So that’s where we stand with ‘Nobody Icons’ Remix’. What Laycon is requesting is the proper documentation. He reached out to me about it, and it wasn’t a matter of cheating. When he contacted me, I referred him to my legal team and even asked for his lawyer’s contact details, which I then forwarded.”

DJ Neptune emphasized, “I’m not a legal expert. I’m a creative professional who performs and supports my family. I’ve entrusted this matter to those who can handle it. There were ongoing discussions between our lawyers, and perhaps my mistake was not following up more closely. A proposed percentage was put forth to Laycon’s team, but they rejected it, and the conversation stalled.”

He also criticized Laycon’s public approach, stating that the manner in which Laycon called him out on social media made it appear as though he had defrauded him.

BBNaija ‘Level Up’ winner, Phyna, is facing serious backlash after publicly supporting Wizkid in the middle of his ongoing feud with fellow Afrobeats star, Davido.
For the past 24 hours, social media has been buzzing after Wizkid launched a series of scathing tweets aimed at Davido, calling him “wack” and untalented. The harsh words and insults have stirred up a storm of reactions online, although Davido has remained silent so far.
Adding fuel to the fire, Phyna jumped into the fray by tweeting a single word, “Popsy,” which is a popular nickname used by Wizkid’s fans. The tweet, seen as her showing support for Wizkid, didn’t sit well with many of her followers. Almost immediately, fans accused her of taking sides in what has now become a heated and sensitive issue in the music industry.
Phyna’s tweet didn’t go down well with Davido’s supporters. Many took to social media to express their disappointment. One fan tweeted, “Phyna, why would you involve yourself in this? Davido has always shown love, and this is how you repay him?” Another fan wrote, “You just lost a lot of fans today. This beef is deeper than you think.”
On the flip side, Wizkid’s loyal followers, often called Wizkid FC, were quick to welcome Phyna’s support. One user replied, “Finally, someone from BBNaija with sense! Phyna knows who the real king is. #TeamWizkid.”
Even within the BBNaija fanbase, reactions were mixed. Some supported Phyna’s right to have her opinion, while others felt she should have stayed neutral. One tweet read, “You should’ve stayed out of this, Phyna. Not everything needs a public opinion, especially not this.”
Phyna’s tweet has ignited an unexpected storm, and while some are applauding her bold stance, many are urging her to tread carefully, especially given how sensitive the situation has become. As the feud between Wizkid and Davido continues to dominate conversations, Phyna’s involvement may have just added another layer to the drama.

‘You’re Stepping on Toes’ – Jaywon Calls Out Odumodublvck Over Mockery

Published

Afrobeats singer Jaywon has called out rapper Odumodublvck, accusing him of disrespect and urging him to reconsider his actions. Jaywon, who has been in the Nigerian music industry for years, criticized the rising rapper for mocking him in a social media post, saying that Odumodublvck hasn’t achieved much yet but is already “stepping on toes.”

The situation began when Odumodublvck shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) that compared two pictures—one of Jaywon and Mavin Records star Ayra Starr, and another of Ayra Starr with American rapper Future.

In the photo with Future, Ayra Starr is seen posing closely with the rapper, with his arm wrapped around her waist. In contrast, the picture with Jaywon shows Ayra Starr subtly pulling away, holding his hand in a way that seems to prevent him from holding her waist, creating an awkward moment that went viral earlier this year.

Odumodublvck’s Subtle Jab

Odumodublvck used the two pictures to make a subtle dig at Jaywon, sharing them on his X account with the caption: “This life ehn,” suggesting that life can be unfair and that different people are treated in different ways based on their status.

The post quickly gained traction, with many interpreting it as a clear mockery of Jaywon’s earlier viral moment with Ayra Starr. The comparison between Jaywon’s interaction with the singer and Future’s more comfortable pose with her added fuel to the fire.

Jaywon Fires Back

Jaywon did not take the shade lightly. In response, he accused Odumodublvck of being disrespectful to his seniors in the music industry. Jaywon pointed out that Odumodublvck, despite his rising fame, was still relatively new to the industry and should be careful not to offend those who have been in the game for longer.

In his response, Jaywon wrote:
“Lol, you’re already dragging your senior, who’s going to drag you? You haven’t even started life, and you’re already stepping on toes.”

Social Media Reaction

Jaywon’s response sparked discussions across social media platforms, with fans and followers weighing in on the situation. Some supported Jaywon, agreeing that Odumodublvck’s post was disrespectful and unnecessary. Others, however, found Odumodublvck’s post humorous and argued that the younger artist was simply having fun with a viral moment.

One Twitter user commented:
“Odumodublvck might just be joking, but respect in the industry is important. Jaywon has been around longer and deserves that respect.”

Another user countered:
“It’s just banter, Jaywon should relax. The internet is always going to have jokes like this.”

Tension in the Industry

The incident has drawn attention to the dynamics between newer and older artists in the Nigerian music scene. While Odumodublvck has quickly risen to fame, his bold, unapologetic style seems to be rubbing some of his senior colleagues the wrong way.

This isn’t the first time that social media interactions between celebrities have sparked debates about respect, fame, and status within the industry. As more young artists emerge and establish their own identities, the relationship between veterans and newcomers continues to evolve.

Whether this exchange between Jaywon and Odumodublvck will escalate into a more significant feud or end as a fleeting moment remains to be seen.
