Laycon isn’t the only one fighting for his royalties. In December of 2023, Harrysong called out Kcee over unpaid royalties and unreleased songs. He further called Kcee a bully while he pleaded with him to be fair to him and give him what rightfully belongs to him.
In an Instagram live, this year, he expressed that for the whole 7 years which he worked for Kcee, he had been broke. He went on to narrate how at some point he did not even have a bed or foam to put in his apartment. He also revealed how he had been there for Kcee when his morale was low in pursuing his musical career.
Similarly, upcoming music producer, Napji called out Davido, claiming that he was the producer for Davido’s hit songs, Fem, Jowo, and Sunlight on his album, A Better Time, which was released in November 2020. He revealed that he was paid an advance of N500,000 for each song, but he hasn’t been paid his royalties and publishing. He threatened to release more information and urged the public to tag Davido.
Davido had reacted to it, writing, “Your papa”.
