T.I Blaze calls out Dapper music over alleged licensing and revenue issues

T.I Blaze has publicly called out Dapper Music, accusing the label of licensing his intellectual property without his agreement and questioning how revenue from his music has been handled.

In a post shared on X on August 14, the singer asked how Dapper Music could license another person’s intellectual property “without mutual agreement,” adding that the label had “finally” filled its cup.

In another post, T.I Blaze questioned the involvement of Virgin Music in the business relationship, referring to an alleged 30 percent share and asking whose portion Virgin was receiving. He also questioned how ₦1.2 billion in revenue had gone “unexplained” and called on Dapper Music to provide answers.

T.I Blaze also revealed that his contract with the label had expired. He said he had waited seven months without releasing new music and claimed that Dapper Music had asked him for $185,000 after generating more than ₦1 billion in revenue. He rejected the demand and said he would instead pay for his catalogue to be returned.

The posts come amid renewed scrutiny of Dapper Music’s relationships with artists signed to the label, with Seyi Vibez also publicly criticizing his former label boss earlier in the day. T.I Blaze remains signed to Dapper Music.
