“Laycon is my brother” – DJ Neptune denies allegations he defrauded him

Popular DJ, Imohiosen Patrick, best known as DJ Neptune has finally addressed the allegation of defrauding his junior colleague, Laycon.

Gistreel reported on August 22nd, 2024,that Laycon took to the microblogging platform X, to call out the famous DJ, requesting update on their agreement and his cut after four years of working together.

In recent time, DJ Neptune addressed the matter in the “Zero Conditions” podcast, emphasizing that there was a problem with the documentation rather than any misconduct. He clarified that advanced marketing costs associated with the song’s distribution agreement had to be reimbursed.

In his words:

“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.”
