LODIC explores the silence after a relationship ends on “HEY”
LODIC explores the moment of reaching out to someone who has already left on “HEY,” a melodic electronic track built around the uncertainty of whether they will respond.
The song focuses on the impulse to call after someone who is walking away, even when there may be little reason to expect an answer. Its lyrics centre on the words left unsaid and the distance that follows the end of a relationship.
“HEY” pairs cinematic electronic production with synth-led melodies, while its chorus arrives early in the track and becomes a central part of the arrangement.
The song is part of LODIC’s broader series of interconnected releases, which explores themes including identity, belonging and the search for home. The artist has previously released “DROWN” and “SCARED” as part of the project.
Rather than focusing on the breakup itself, “HEY” turns its attention to what comes after—the silence, lingering attachment and instinct to make one final attempt at being heard.
“HEY” is out now on streaming platforms.

Summer Walker Covers Victony’s ‘Slick’
Summer Walker has covered Victony’s new single, “Slick,” giving the viral Afrobeats track her own R&B interpretation.
The American singer shared her cover on her Instagram Story, adding her vocals to the song and putting her own spin on Victony’s latest release.
Walker’s cover comes just days after Lauryn Hill was spotted vibing to “Slick” during soundcheck ahead of her performance with live band The Compozers last Sunday.
The moment showed Hill enjoying the song ahead of her performance, while Walker has now taken her appreciation a step further by recording her own version.
The two moments come as “Slick” continues to gain attention beyond its Afrobeats audience, with the song reaching established international artists from different corners of music.
For Victony, having artists such as Summer Walker and Lauryn Hill engage with “Slick” offers another indication of the song’s growing reach and its ability to connect across genres and audiences.

Yemi Alade says she underwent MRI and CT scan after fall
Yemi Alade has revealed that she underwent an MRI and a CT scan after suffering a fall that has left her dealing with persistent pain.
The singer shared the update in a recent Instagram video, explaining that she has been advised to take it easy with physical activities while she recovers.
For someone who is known for maintaining an active lifestyle, Alade said the restriction has meant putting some of her usual activities on hold, including boxing.
She acknowledged that slowing down has been difficult because of how much she enjoys being active, but said she is trying to get past the experience.
Alade also revealed that she is still experiencing pain, turning around during the video to point to her lower back as the area where she is hurting.
While she has had to step back from more strenuous activities, Alade said she was advised to try yoga. Parts of the video show her practising yoga with an instructor as she explores a gentler way to remain active.
She also said she has found that spending time in a jacuzzi helps with the discomfort, with footage showing her relaxing in the water.
Alade did not disclose the results of her MRI or CT scan, nor did she provide further details about the extent of her injury. For now, she appears to be focusing on recovery, using lower-impact activities and rest while giving herself time to heal.

Dapper challenges Shallipopi, T.I Blaze, Seyi Vibez to independent audit
Dapper Music founder Damilola “Dapper” Akinwunmi has responded to recent allegations from former signees Shallipopi, T.I Blaze and Seyi Vibez, challenging them to submit their disputes to an independent forensic audit.
In a series of posts on X on Saturday, August 15, Dapper rejected allegations of financial and contractual wrongdoing and said the records needed to establish what happened are available.
“I have nothing to hide. The records exist. The authorities have them. Let the process establish the truth,” he wrote.
Dapper also accused his former artists of taking their grievances to social media while disputing his account of their departures.
“Don’t come online and spill rubbish narratives, & lies, only to mislead the public!” he wrote in another post, adding that the artists “chose to leave” and should “move on.”
He appeared to direct a separate series of posts at Shallipopi, whom he addressed as “Mr. Elon”, referencing the artist’s 2023 hit “Elon Musk.”
Dapper claimed that Shallipopi failed to attend a previously scheduled appearance while he was present, questioning the artist’s calls for the matter to be addressed in court.
He also challenged what he described as conflicting claims about their contractual relationship.
“You claim here that I forged your signature, but in your public statement in 2024, you claimed that you were pushed into a deal with Dapper Digital. Which is it???” he wrote.
Shallipopi ended his agreements with Dapper Music and Dvpper Digital in December 2024, alleging a breach of trust, financial mismanagement and a lack of transparency. Among his claims was that Dapper Music had pushed him into a publishing arrangement with Dvpper Digital, which he said was owned by the same person or persons behind Dapper Music.
Dapper is now asking the parties to move the dispute away from social media and into an independent examination of the relevant financial records and contracts.
He said an audit had already been conducted by what he described as a reputable company and suggested commissioning another review if there were still questions over the accounts.
“We already did an audit from a reputable company! Surprise Surprise who owes who?” he wrote.
Dapper then named several accounting and legal firms, including KPMG, PwC, Deloitte, Templers, Aluko & Oyebode, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, and Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie, suggesting that any of them could be engaged to conduct a forensic review.
“Let them run a forensic analysis and interpret both the accounts and the contract for us, and tell you I cheated you?!” he wrote.
His comments come as disputes between Dapper and several former artists have resurfaced, with allegations involving contractual terms, financial dealings and the handling of artists’ catalogues. Dapper has consistently disputed claims of wrongdoing and previously maintained that its artist agreements were entered into with transparency and legal representation available to the artists.
The latest exchange leaves the central financial and contractual questions unresolved, but Dapper’s proposed audit could provide an independent way of examining the competing claims if the parties agree to one.
