In a video gaining popularity on social media, Nigerian singer Young Duu revealed that he was neither scammed nor ripped off by Carterefe regarding a recently released song titled “Oyinmo.”
Previously, there were allegations that Carterefe had scammed Young Duu as his name was not featured in the new song.
However, shortly after, Young Duu made a statement to dismiss claims of being scammed or ripped off.
According to Young Duu, he had an agreement with Carterefe and a group of people to produce the song without featuring his name in it, for whatever reason, for his own gain.
In his statement, he said, “I was there, and I didn’t want my name there. My voice is my money, do you understand? Nobody is ripping me off.”
“My voice is my money, and I said it should be that way. That’s how it’s going to be. I want to see money; I came to Lagos to make money.”
His statement, however, generated reactions online, with many individuals taking to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts.
