DJ Cuppy to sue Davido’s aide Afeare Israel for libel, defamation

Disk Jockey DJ Cuppy

Celebrity disc jockey DJ Cuppy has said she will be suing Afeare Israel, an aid to singer Davido for libel and defamation after his post on why Zlatan Ibile blocked her on WhatsApp and Instagram.

The 28-year-old revealed her plans to go to court in a tweet on Monday.

She said there was no breach of contract between her and Zlatan regarding their song ‘Gelato’ according to her lawyers.

“For the record… There have been no breaches of my contractual agreement regarding the song #Gelato as confirmed by lawyers.

“However, as @IsrealDMW publicly inaccurately declared I owe an artist money, I am suing him for libel and defamation!” she wrote.

Israel shared what allegedly caused the feud between DJ Cuppy and Zlatanon January 29.

He said, “Kudos to someone like Zlatan, who took a bold step, by flushing out a full fake friend like Cuppy, who was just using his head, all in the name of my papa na Otedola.

“Zlatan did a hit collabo with her, ordinary one kobo he no see. She also took Zlatan to Abuja for her fund raising where she made billions of naira and didn’t even remember Zee for one kobo till tomorrow.”

Afeare’s posts came not up to 24 hours after a video of Zlatan denying DJ Cuppy in an interview went viral on January 28.

In the interview he said he did not know who bares the name Cuppy.

The question of why he blocked the DJ was asked weeks after the DJ said she was blocked by the singer.

 DJ Cuppy had called out the singer for blocking her for over 10 months on January 8.

“10 months later and I sometimes still wonder why @Zlatan_Ibile blocked me on WhatsApp and Instagram without ever saying why. we were actually friends 🤷🏽‍♀️ …AND “Gelato” was a hit!” she wrote.
