    Nigerian rap duo Show Dem Camp (SDC) have shed light on why their beloved 2018 project, Palmwine Music 2, briefly disappeared from major streaming platforms. The group confirmed that the album’s removal was the result of a royalty dispute with one of the featured artists.

    According to SDC, the issue arose years after the project’s release when a collaborator returned seeking a larger share of the revenue from one of the songs.

    The disagreement, which could not be resolved immediately, led to a decision to temporarily pull down the album while legal and financial matters were sorted out.

    “The song became a success, and years later, the artist came back asking for more,” the duo revealed in a recent interview. “We had to take a step back and protect the integrity of the project while we handled the legalities.”

    The incident underscores a recurring challenge in the African music industry, where many collaborations are often built on informal agreements without clear long-term arrangements regarding royalties and intellectual property rights.

    After several days offline, Palmwine Music 2 has now returned to Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack. However, fans quickly noticed that the re-uploaded version now features eight tracks instead of nine, with the fan-favourite “Tropicana” featuring Flash missing from the lineup. The track is widely believed to be at the center of the dispute.

    Despite the setback, SDC’s decision to restore the rest of the album while omitting the contested song has been praised by fans and industry observers alike.

    Many see it as a sign of the duo’s professionalism and commitment to preserving the cultural legacy of the Palmwine Music series, a project that has come to define the sound of modern alternative Afrobeats.
