Popular Nigerian Disc Jockey, producer and
music artist DJ Zeez, was shot into limelight

was nowhere to be found in the music
industry.
On Wednesday, April 13, the Nigerian singer

troubles following a Lagos High Court’s
orders for him to refund over N22 Million to
his record label, HF Music for breaching
their contract.
Pulse reports that, the presiding judge,
Honourable Justice B.A. Oke-Lawal in the
case brought before the High Court of Lagos
State, ordered that DJ Zeez whose real

sum of N22,378,605.70 being the total
amount spent by HF Music through various
