Popular Nigerian disc jockey, Imohiosen Patrick, also known as DJ Neptune, has refuted allegations of defrauding singer and former BBNaija winner, Laycon.

Laycon recently expressed concerns regarding unpaid royalties for their collaborative effort, ‘Nobody Icons’ Remix, released four years ago.

During his appearance on the latest episode of the ‘Zero Conditions’ podcast, DJ Neptune firmly denied any wrongdoing and asserted that he did not defraud the singer.

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 criticized the way in which Laycon publicly accused him on social media, stating that Laycon made it appear as if he had defrauded him.
