Idowest, the Nigerian singer, expresses his frustration as he critiques Dammy Krane, his ex-label boss, alleging a lack of support for his career during their collaboration.

This unfolds amidst the ongoing dispute between Dammy Krane and Davido regarding purported unpaid debts. Dammy Krane, in a post on the X platform, references Davido allegedly taking Idowest away from him.

“Let’s not forget @davido you took Idowest from my record label, I didn’t talk because I saw you as a brother, neither did I drag the artiste( cos I had done my part to help him). Genuinely I want to know why you don’t want to pay me for a song you tweeted that I wrote after all,” he wrote.

In a viral video, Idowest expressed frustration over the lack of financial assistance and accommodation while he was signed under Dammy Krane’s label.

This led him to eventually part ways with the label and sign with a new label owned by Davido at the time.

In his words, “What did I gain? Dammy Krane, no whine me. You dey post me dey mention my name for blog? You dey mad? Wetin I gain, both from the stealer (Davido) and the signer (Dammy Krane). I was making music by myself; you singed me and gave me nothing, not even an accommodation. Don’t p!ss me off.”

The video has ignited discussions within the music industry, with many fans and followers sharing their opinions on the matter.

The situation has also brought attention to the responsibilities and obligations of record labels toward their signed artists.
