London-born rapper Little Simz, the recipient of the 2022 Mercury Prize as well as star of hit Netflix show Top Boy, is taking legal action against her former producer Inflo, AKA Dean Cover.
She alleges that Inflo has failed to repay a £1.7m (approx. €2m) loan from 2023, including £1m used to fund the first and only live performance by Sault - the enigmatic UK musical collective he founded. The ambitious and highly elaborate show, was held at London’s Drumsheds in December 2023, and was met with initial backlash for its expensive tickets prices, which started at £99 (€117).
