In just a few years of its existence, Davido's Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) music imprinte has produced hits upon hits from its signees like Mayorkun, Perruzi, Dremo, Yonda, and a host of others.

However, some of the artists on this label have made the news for all the wrong reasons.

Tobechukwu Victor Okoh popularly known as Peruzzi is one of the major acts on the DMW label.

His song-writing ability makes him a valuable asset in DMW. However, the music star has gotten himself in trouble a couple of times.

In Jan 2020, United Kingdom-based singer, Daffy Blanco, called out Peruzzi for defrauding her to the tune of N15M and trying to have his way with her.

According to her, she was linked to the music star through the C.E.O. of a bank located in Victoria Island, Lagos.

After paying Peruzzi the said amount of money, he refused to carry out his side of the deal. She went on to reveal that Peruzzi hurt her physically, leaving a scar on her thigh.

2. Peruzzi Versus Princess

Just when many thought Perruzi was over the first scandal, another lady called him out. The lady, simply identified as Princess accused the music star of raping her. According to her, the music star forcefully had sex with her eight years ago.

She said her decision to come out was because of the boldness of his other accuser, Daffy Blanco.

3. Lil Frosh's assault allegation

Rapper Lil Frosh put pen to paper and signed up with the record label in late September 2020.

Less than two weeks into his new label, Lil Frosh's face grabbed the headlines not for his music but for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend Gift Camille.

Photo of the Camille's badly bruised face emerged on social media and it didn't take long before DMW released a press statement that Lil Frosh has been dropped from the label.

4. Rema's club scene

Rema is not signed to DMW but made the headlines after it was alleged that he had an altercation with members of the label. Now the gist is that the Marvin Records signee was disrespected after his BBNaija Lockdown Finale performance in September 2020.

An eyewitness told Pulse Nigeria that "The crux of the matter seemed to involve members of Davido's camp, but I don't think Davido himself was involved sha. I do know that words were said and disrespect was involved. It looked like members of Davido's camp felt disrespected by Rema and Rema in turn felt disrespected."

5. Peruzzi's assualt allegation

In 2019, a social media influencer, Pamilerin Adegoke called out Peruzzi for beating him up.

According to him, he was about to leave Bayelsa for Port Harcourt after an event when he was accosted by a man who then pulled him down from a bus and dragged him before Peruzzi.

Interestingly, Peruzzi confirmed slapping him during an interview but apologised, "I slapped him. It was wrong, but I’m a human being," he said.
