DJ Dimplenipple in March, made an allegation that D’Prince, a singer and record label owner was seeking sex-for-job from her

Dancer and disc jockey, Rachel Martins, known in the entertainment space and Instagram as DJ Dimplenipple has shed more light on why she reacted the way she did D’Prince’s invitation to a hotel for a business meeting.
In March, the female disc jockey in a series of posts on her Instagram page called out D’Prince and accused him of seeking sex-for-job from her.
She further explained that the record label boss invited her to a hotel for a meeting after he initially contacted her via social media for a job, but blocked her when she declined his advances by suggesting a three-way call.
“You messaged me on IG by yourself that you wanted promotions for your artist and I was kind enough to reply you and you asked for my WhatsApp number only for you to start asking me to come to the George hotel for a meeting.” she wrote.
DJ Dimplenipple continued “If he didn’t have any bad intention why did he block me after I agreed to the three way calls, why should I meet you in a hotel when there are thousands of places to meet you for a business chat? Why must it be a hotel? and why did he block me after that?”

However, in a recent interview with Punch, the Dancer made further clarifications on why she had to call the singer out and why she refused to honour his invitation.
She asserted she had visited hotels for businesses in the past but added she has never had any business dealing with D’Prince before and found it offensive that he would be inviting her to a hotel for the first one. Especially when they are not signing a contract.
“I never had issues or any business with D’Prince, and that was not my first job as an influencer. I have had meetings at hotels. So, when I saw those comments (criticising me), I just laughed. I have worked with so many artistes. You want us to do business and you say, ‘Hello dear’ and ‘Can I come to a hotel’? For what? All I had to do was ‘vibe’ to your artiste’s song, and that could be done over a call or even a chat.
“Since we were not signing any contract, what were we going to be discussing at the hotel? Why did he suggest a call, then block me? Everyone wants to act smart and sound ‘woke’. Why did he (D’Prince) lock his comment section if he had nothing to hide? I had nothing to gain from calling him out. I have always minded my business. I can stand by what I said anytime.” she said.
She also said she has no personal problem with Ruger, an artiste signed to D’Prince’s label, who chastised her after her comment and threatened that she would be sued.
“I don’t have any business with Ruger. I won’t exchange words with him. I will be waiting to hear from the lawyers. He is probably going through trauma from the harassment (he suffered on stage recently) and that’s not on me. He should deal with his problems. I guess we will see each other in court.” DJ Dimplenipple added.
The 21-year- old also commented on the plight of female artistes, saying they face tougher challenges in the entertainment industry compared with their male counterparts.
“It is actually tougher being a female in the entertainment industry, not just as a DJ. But, I thank God the game is changing gradually and we are finally being seen for what we can do and not what gender we identify as. One has to rise above all that and keep fighting.” she narrated.
