US-based recording artiste Chippi is raising eyebrows with a new single, ‘If A Neva Money’, that seems to take potshots at his former friend, David ‘Mavado’ Brooks. The single, on a head-knocking beat by J Crazy, has popped up on a number of mixtapes in the streets, and seems to imply that money has changed certain people. The song goes: ‘if ah neva money, dem woulden get so bright/if ah neva money, dem woulden get so white’.
