Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer Runtown
has parted ways with his record label, Eric Manny Records (or at least
he's trying to) and they didn't do so on the best of terms. Eric Manny,
owned by billionaire businessman, Okwudili Umenyiora, has gotten a court
injunction stopping Runtown from performing as an artist, amongst other
things, pending when they settle their issues.
Runtown got his lawyers to write to the label, claiming threat to life,
extortion, and that he didn't get his payment/royalties from
performances, ring-back tunes and etc. He also said he has returned all
properties he received from the label when he signed with them in 2014.
Read his letter to the owner of Eric Manny and his lawyers letters after
the cut.
