‘I cannot fight for myself’ – Shallipopi reveals why he stopped speaking on Dapper case

Explaining why he has stopped discussing the dispute, Shallipopi said rushing the process could affect the pursuit of justice.

“My legal team and the EFCC have advised me that, for justice to be served, I need to step back and trust the legal process,” he said.

The singer said his claims against Dapper Music and Entertainment Limited must now be thoroughly investigated, adding that he would not use his music or social media platforms to continue addressing the matter.

“Because of this, I cannot fight for myself using my music nor my words. I cannot sing about it, talk about it, or share it on any media platform for now,” Shallipopi said.

He, however, maintained that he stood by the claims he had previously made.

“While I stand firmly by the truth of my claims, I now understand why I cannot make public commentary on matters under active investigation, nor use my artistic expression to address them as I did a few weeks ago,” he said.

Shallipopi said the matter was important to him because everything he had worked for since his teenage years was tied to it.

“Everything I have worked for since my teenage years is tied to this. I remain hopeful that justice will prevail,” he said.

He concluded by expressing his frustration over being unable to personally address the matter as he had previously done.
