DJ Cuppy to sue Davido’s PA, Israel DMW, for libel and defamation
Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, DJ Cuppy, has revealed plans to sue Davido's Personal Assistant, Isreal DMW for alleged libel and defamation of character over his claims she didn't pay Zlatan for their collaboration.
Israel DMW had earlier came out on social media to give reasons why Zlatan fell out with DJ Cuppy after she cried out that the singer blocked her on social media platforms.
In the post, Israel alleged DJ Cuppy didn't pay Zlatan for their collaboration in the 2019 released hit song ‘Gelato'. He also claimed that Cuppy took the singer to Abuja for her fundraising but refused to give Zlatan money.
Israel also stated that Zlatan had to pay for his own accommodation and feeding including the expenses of his team who joined him on the trip.
In reaction to these claims, Cuppy said she did not breach any contractual agreement over the song ‘Gelato' she did with Zlatan and will be suing Israel for libel and defamation of character over his claims.
In her words;
“For the record there have been no breaches of my contractual agreement regarding the song #Gelato as confirmed by lawyers.
“However, as @IsrealDMW publicly inaccurately declared I owe an artist money, I am suing him for libel and defamation!
“See you in court Isreal.”
