Crayon, who joined Mavin Records in 2019, posted a series of tweets that were later deleted. In those posts, he alleged that Don Jazzy owed him unpaid royalties and claimed the label collected $200 million without giving him any share.
He further accused the producer of stealing his shine, being responsible for his mother’s death, and said the delayed payments were a deliberate attempt to destroy him. The singer prayed for divine punishment and vowed to bring the label down.
Samklef weighed in on the matter, linking Crayon’s outburst to Don Jazzy’s recent association with social media activist VeryDarkMan.

According to him, since the connection between the record label boss and the Ratel president, Mavin artists have struggled to maintain momentum in their careers.

Samklef claims ownership of Wizkid's Superstar tracks
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Samklef declared ownership of six tracks from Wizkid's debut album Superstar.
The project, released on June 12, 2011, under Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), featured contributions from several producers. Samklef claimed that the album was recorded in his studio without the recording costs being settled.
He explained that no formal contract was signed during production and is now preparing to reopen discussions with Banky W regarding ownership of the masters. He stated that he owns six tracks because Banky W didn't pay for the studio sessions.
