Remus Ionuț Dumitrache, known to fans as “Jador”, claims in a video published on social networks that he was blackmailed for years and was the victim of several attacks. His guildmate, DeSanto, accused of shutting down his YouTube page, reacted ironically.
Jador asked his fans for help, saying that music producer DeSanto allegedly shut down his YouTube page and demanded a huge amount of money to unlock it.
The artist claimed that DeSanto deleted all his songs from YouTube on Christmas Day itself. Later, the producer allegedly asked him for 100,000 euros.
“What shall I do, my love? This is a sentimental video. All my work of six years is gone, my love. Forgive me for crying. All my work of six years gone. I just don’t know if I’m going to keep this video or not, I’m just downloading. On December 25th I received a strike from DeSanto. He closed my account, all the songs I composed”, said the singer in a video published on TikTok.
“I love music so much that he simply, I don’t know, gave me a strike, closed my account, asked me for 100,000 euros to leave me alone. I don’t have this money because I’m not a millionaire. I don’t have that money. I just make music, I come to your events, I sing, I don’t know how to do anything else. It deleted all my songs from YouTube and I don’t know how to do it, how to fix it because I’m just a normal person who sings. The world expected me to do a wedding I don’t know how, I have a simple life, I eat ham and soup and people took my money“, added the artist.
“I didn’t take any money”
The artist also published a video on Youtube, where he launched a call to fans to subscribe to the new YouTube channel he is posting on.
“The channel has been deleted, the big Youtube channel. I had all the pieces there. (…) If someone wants to subscribe here, let me make a new channel, start it from scratch. It’s the third one I’ve opened. Please share, help me form a community here, because all my work of six years has gone. (…) The big channel is no more, neither are the songs on DeSanto’s channel, because he deleted them. I have been blackmailed for 3 years, when I registered my name with OSIM. I simply could no longer use my name of Jador“.
“I didn’t get any money from all my old songs. Not even a leu (…) He enrolled us at OSIM. I could no longer use my name. (…) The first time he asked me for 100 thousand euros by name. I don’t have this money. Now he is asking me for 100 thousand euros to give me back the channel. I paid for my parts, all of them, and he took money from them. He was taking 30% of my gigs. After that I paid the band and I was left with some money. I barely had enough to buy bread. It’s not just him doing this, it’s happening in our music industry. That’s the reality. (…) I’m fighting a mafia”the artist also said, reporting that there are several of his colleagues in the same situation and that he needs the support of his fans.
The artist accused DeSanto of shutting down his YouTube channel, slashing the wheels of his car and breaking down his studio gate. “I have no one, I am alone in this Bucharest. I came with a bag and I have no one. I only had the music. I’m desperate. I don’t know what to do. I also deleted my sister’s song”, added the artist.
DeSanto’s reaction
In response, DeSanto claimed on TikTok that he is being unfairly accused, being vilified, and that it is common knowledge in the industry that that YouTube channel can be set to private.
“Hey bro, when you need help, call 112. That’s one. Don’t start crying, but I’m amazed that in 2025, here we are in 2025, with a few tears, you can move a lot of people and instigate certain things. Of course I will take action on everything that is happening at this time”DeSanto said.
The scandal between the two is, however, an older one, which broke out when Jador wanted to obtain his copyright.
