The controversy between Nigerian gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her former record label, EeZee Conceptz, has taken another turn as the label, owned by Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu (EeZee Tee), has responded to Mercy’s allegations.
In a recent petition, EeZee Conceptz accused Mercy Chinwo of diverting revenues to her personal accounts during the peak of her career. The label also claimed that Mercy allegedly boycotted scheduled events, leading to contract disputes and reputational damage for the company.
Furthermore, EeZee Conceptz alleged that Mercy charged churches exorbitant fees for performances while shifting the blame onto the label. The label also claimed that she instructed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to transfer approximately $274,000 (N500 million) into her account.
Regarding Mercy’s claims that the label tried to forge a new contract after their initial five-year agreement expired, EeZee Conceptz denied the accusations, stating that Mercy initiated the legal battle, forcing them to respond in court.
The dispute has sparked reactions among fans, with many awaiting further legal developments.
