The music industry has been buzzing with controversy following Shallipopi’s departure from Dapper Music and the launch of his own label, Plutomania Records.
As the dust settles on this professional split, netizens have turned their attention to Dapper Music’s boss, accusing him of spending the royalties of artists like Shallipopi and Seyi Vibez on his girlfriend, celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci.
The claims have stirred debates across social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), with mixed reactions flooding timelines.
While some users expressed amusement at the alleged financial mismanagement, others defended Hilda Baci, insisting that her success is independent of any external financial influence.

One user, @ukange_davidx, alleged, “So Dapper has been using Seyi Vibez and Shallipopi royalty money to fund Hilda Baci lifestyle.”
Another echoed this sentiment, with @jayNaija writing, “Shallipopi and Seyi Vibez dey hustle, Dapper dey use the money spoil Hilda Bacci 😂.”Not everyone bought into the accusations.
User @simply_kimm expressed frustration over dragging Baci into the drama, stating, “I don’t like that they’re making the Dapper n Shallipopi thing about Hilda sha.”
Similarly, @KingOpeofAbj defended the chef’s reputation, arguing, “Hilda Baci has been doing well for herself. It’s unfair to reduce her accomplishments to the influence of her man’s wealth.”
Still, others criticized the larger narrative, questioning why Hilda is at the center of a dispute involving Dapper and his artists. User @Zeefancy commented, “Nigerians are so somehow. Dapper is the one that has issues with his artists but Hilda is the one that’s trending?? As how.”
Hilda Baci, known for her culinary exploits and breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon, has yet to comment on the controversy.
Meanwhile, Shallipopi’s new venture, Plutomania Records, is already generating anticipation among fans eager to see how he handles his music career post-Dapper Music.
For now, the drama continues to unfold, with many awaiting responses from the key players in this unfolding saga.
