Fast-rising Nigerian singer Peruzzi, signed under the umbrella of Davido’s DMW label, has been accused of breaching his contract with his former label Golden Boy Entertainment.
The issue was brought to notice by the label CEO Patrick Anyaene, from where he was snatched by the DMW boss and according to him, he a return on his investments.
speaking with PUNCH, Mr Anyaene noted that the songs being released now under DMW where materials which were written by Peruzzi while he was still an artiste under him.
“I don’t have problems with Davido. I have issues with Perruzi, my artiste,” Anyaene said in the interview.
“All the songs Davido released since last year November are my records. They are my records because those songs were written by my artiste.”
Peruzzi has enjoyed mainstream attention in the past few months with features on DMW group songs like ‘Mind’ and ‘Aje’, and songwriting credits to Davido’s ‘FIA’. He also featured on the current buzzing single ‘Amaka’ by 2Baba.
“Songs like ‘FIA’, ‘Ada’, ‘Mind’ by DMW, ‘Aje’ by DMW and other songs they might be working on now are all the property of Golden Boy Entertainment,” Anyaene insisted.
“Peruzzi has been going for shows and getting paid; I have been patient with them since November. I am unhappy because I have not been settled. As a businessman, when you invest money in an individual, you expect a return.
“Davido has given Peruzzi some guts to do whatever he likes; he has forgotten that he signed a contract with me and I have lawyers on the case.
“Perruzi started working with me in 2016 and I was paying him salary. I officially signed him in 2017 for a three-year contract. He has breached a contract and he is an ingrate.”
There has been no official statement yet from the DMW camp or Peruzzi following the allegations but sources close to the singer claim that indeed there is an existing partnership between DMW and GBE but the Mr Anyaene wasn’t handling the issue well and that was why there have been issues.
