Laycon and DJ Neptune's 'Nobody' remix deal sparks controversy

Laycon took to X to accuse DJ Neptune of cheating him out of their agreed-upon deal, writing: “Abeg o… @deejayneptune how far my agreement and split for the “Nobody (Icons Remix)” song though. Is it not still ready? haba it’s been 4 years o.”

In response, DJ Neptune addressed the situation during an appearance on the Zero Conditions podcast. According to Neptune, the distribution company had provided advance marketing funds to promote the music video, but they needed to recoup their investment before proceeding with the agreed-upon split. Also, he revealed that Laycon’s team had rejected an offered amount, leading to the current stalemate.
