- Late Dagrin’s Brother Addresses Accusations Of Pocketing Late Singer’s Royalties
Indigenous Nigerian artist, Olanipekun Olatubosun, who is popularly known as Trod, has responded to allegations of misappropriating royalties associated with the songs of the late rapper, Dagrin.
Recently, Dagrin’s mother reached out to Nigerians for financial assistance, revealing in a viral video that she now sells items on the street to make a living.
Following the circulation of the video, Nigerians criticized Trod, who happens to be Dagrin’s step-brother, accusing him of benefiting from the proceeds of Dagrin’s songs while his own family struggled.
In a response to these allegations on his official Twitter account, Trod stated that he has no knowledge of any income related to Dagrin’s songs. He called on anyone who has been receiving royalties from the late rapper’s music to come forward.
In a tweet, he said: “I dunno shit about Grins Royalties. The person who has been getting paid for 13 years should come out. DMCE whatever.”
It should be noted that Dagrin passed away on April 22, 2010, following a tragic car accident in Lagos.
