Famous Nigerian singer, Ifeoluwa Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has vowed to sue Davido’s aide, Isreal Afeare, for libel and defamation over his claims about her fallout with her colleague, Zlatan.
DJ Cuppy had on January 7th, revealed that Zlatan had blocked her on every social media platform for over 10 months for unknown reasons despite their collaboration on Italian Ice Cream-inspired single, ‘Gelato.‘
However, on January 28th, Zlatan who had in a interview on SoundCity denied knowing his former collaborator, DJ Cuppy.
Several reactions trailed his interview. But claims of that of Davido’s assistant, Israel DMW, stood out. This was because he claimed to know the reason Zlatan blocked DJ Cuppy on social media.
On January 21, 2020, he took to Twitter and wrote, “Kudos to someone like Zlatan, who took a bold step, by flushing out a full fake friend like Cuppy, who was just using his head, all in his name of ‘my papa na Otedola.’
“Zlatan did a hit collabo with her, ordinary one kobo, e no see. She also took Zlatan to Abuja, for her fundraising, where she made billions of Naira, and didn’t even remember Z for one Kobo till tomorrow. No accommodation, no feeding. Zlatan had to even spend his own money at Transcorp Hilton, to [cater] for everyone including me. This na 2021 abeg.“
These claims apparently did not sit well with DJ Cuppy as she has vowed to sue Isreal DMW for libel and defamation.
Cuppy wrote on Twitter, “For the record.There have been no breaches of my contractual agreement regarding the song #Gelato as confirmed by lawyers… However, as @IsrealDMW publicly inaccurately declared I owe an artist money, I am suing him for libel and defamation… See you in court Isreal.”
