Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oyindamola Emmanuel, popularly known as Dammy Krane, has cried out over an alleged unpaid debt by his colleague, Davido.
Krane, on his Twitter page on Monday, accused Davido of refusing to pay for his songwriting contribution to an earlier released track, even after reaching out to the DMW boss privately.
In an earlier tweet, the songwriter threatened to call out certain “rich guys” owing him money.
“All my rich guys wey dey owe me money, today na Monday o. Abi make we bring am come ‘The Supreme High Twitter Court’ #Eshe,” he wrote.
In another tweet, he followed through with his threat and shared a picture of Davido’s 2017 tweet which read, “Shout out to @dammy_krane!! Co-wrote the hook of ‘PERE’ with me!!”
“My Blooda @davido, run the check. I don reach out to people over the years based on split sheet & outstanding, no response. We no gats dey get this convo here,” Dammy Krane captioned the picture.
Pere, a single which featured American hip-hop stars, Rea Sremmurd and Young Thug, was released by Davido in 2017.
In January 2012, at age 20, he signed a record deal with Hypertek Digital and 960 Music Group.
Krane is known for his melodic voice, engaging lyrics and his exciting genre of African alternative music.
He has received several nominations, including the Next Rated nomination and won Rookie of the Year at The Headies 2012.
Krane was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and originates from the Yoruba ethnic group in South-West Nigeria.
Starting music at age 6, he joined the children’s choir and ministered in various churches.
The singer went to Providence Heights secondary school, where he was known for being an amazing dancer and performer. After graduating, Dammy Krane concentrated on his music and worked hard at his craft, eventually establishing himself as an act to watch.
Inspired by artistes like Fela Kuti, Femi Kuti, Lagbaja, King Sunny Ade, 2face Idibia, D’Banj and Sauce Kid, he started recording songs on his own and performing at various university shows with his ability to merge all genres of music.
He credits his signing to Hypertek Records to a chance meeting with 2face Idibia at a birthday party. He says 2face Idibia had seen him perform and made the decision to sign him.
