This controversy came to a head after Appietus in a recent interview on Citi TV revealed that the group cheated him and never paid him for his work.
“After recording the song (Muje Baya) he told me that he was going to show it to investors. The next time, I heard the song playing on the radio.“said the legendary record producer in an interview.
In response to this, Papi shared his side of the story and accused Appietus of ripping him off by putting his songs on digital platforms and hijacking the revenue. A famous sound engineer then joins the conversation over the phone and happens on the show.
“He is very stupid and dumb… Appietus you are dumb, barter trade still pays or you don’t know the word. You claim I never paid for the studio sessions. You are so stupid … Appietus your whole career, your whole life, Muje Baya made you. All your songs, who made you?“Papi asked furiously.
In the video, Appietus is also cool and says “can imagine, I have done over 200 hits, just imagine how Papi on TV disrespecting me. I was so sick that a lot of producers didn’t help me“.
Bulldog who was the manager of the defunct music group 5Five has taken to social media to threaten Appietus.
“You will pay for every dollar you collect from your investment and you will pay with interest.
You have supported your family and yourself with an investment of almost 10 years by selling 5Five songs — executive produced and promoted by Bullhaus Entertainment on digital platforms globally without permission.
READY – TIME TO PAY. You will hear from our advisor“. See his writing below.
