The CEO of a Nigerian gospel record label known as Eezee Concepts, Dr. Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu ThankGod, has called out one of her outgoing artists, Mercy Chinwo.
The record label executive accused the gospel singer of living a life that does not conform to what Jesus, whom she sings about, expects.
Dr. Ezekiel took to his Instagram handle to call out the singer in a series of posts, which he claims that the gospel singer has been lying and manipulating institutions to bully him despite her receiving $625,000 from his record label.
He said that Mercy Chinwo lied about not earning anything from his record label when the fact remains that she’s received thousands of dollars.
He went further to claim that Mercy Chinwo has resorted to weaponizing law enforcement agents as well as religious organizations against him in a bid to take over a catalogue she didn’t spend money on but yet has received huge money from.
He noted that the gospel singer loves to speak negatively about him even though, at she chased him for years when her career started and had to bring third parties in order for him to sign her.
He recalled how Mercy Chinwo used to be his back up singer and how he housed her for months before securing an apartment for her.
Below is an excert of all she wrote on Instagram:
“$625,000 – that is how much you have received from Eezee Concept to date. But, you would prefer to insulate that part to keep deceiving people and weeping sentiments on how you signed a bad contract or had been treated badly. Same deal you desperately pursued me for years and had to get third parties to impress on Eezee Concept to sign you.
“Despite offering a 50/50 earnings ratio. You are still trying to weaponize law enforcement and religious organizations, all in a bid to take over a catalog you did not spend one Naira on. You’ve received over $635,000 to date. Still, this situation persists. While claiming and singing it all for Jesus, your actions paint a different picture.
“You started as my backup singer in the studio and on stage. Unlike some Music talent producers and Label executives, it is not something I stumbled into by marriage or association.
“It’s disheartening to see lies being spread and efforts to weaponize law enforcement and religious affiliations against me. I invested my blood, sweat, and hard-earned money into you. I housed you for months before securing two-bedroom apartments for both you and your band leader.
“You breached our contract by failing to deliver a third album and withholding funds meant for the label from content and events. When this happened, I didn’t attack you. Instead, I reached out, proposing a reconciliation meeting and even suggesting an independent audit for transparency.
“Last year, I was illegally detained by EFCC for nine days, far from Lagos, where our business took place. Under duress, $274,000 was extorted. Yet, I still didn’t resort to dragging you publicly. As a law-abiding citizen, I chose to follow the legal processes outlined in the contract you signed with Eezee Conceptz.
“If your hands are clean, why avoid the Multidoor resolution process in our agreement? Why manipulate in situations to bully me? You deny the contract when it speaks of your obligations and our benefits, but quote it when it benefits you. Discrediting the same document that you have hugely benefited from.
“Kindly post your bank statements and songs received 3 years before you were signed and 3 years after you signed. You’re now attempting to claim ownership of a catalogue I fully funded. A body of work you never contributed financially to. For years, you’ve received both quarterly royalties and immediate remittances from the 50/50 agreement, but this greed and betrayal that persists are beyond comprehension.
“Let me remind you. I founded the label that built your platform, put food on your table, and gave you opportunities beyond your dreams. Through God’s grace, u did this and no one can erase the role Eezee Conceptz played in building your influence.
“I’ll continue to act lawfully, trusting the legal system and God to defend my peace and reputation……
“I appreciate the multitude of prayers, support, and love. May truth and justice prevail”.
It could be recalled that Mercy Chinwo and Eezee Concepts parted ways in 2022 over a disagreement ensued between the singer and the record label boss. At the time, the singer shared a cryptic message, begging God to protect her from dishonest people.
Following the split, Mercy Chinwo unfollowed her label mate, Minister GUC on Instagram after which GUC posted a shady post about ungrateful people which many believed was aimed at the ‘Amazing God’ singer.
