Ishaquine:Peter Okoye was not signed by PSquare, Peter was part and parcel of PSquare, Peter Okoye should be part of the blame if you talk about May D, The riches, houses, fame etc Peter has came via PSquare, Peter left because he wanted to change the sharing formula in PSquare but Paul said no; the proceeds from PSquare was shared equally among 3 of them but Peter insisted that a manager (Jude) should not get the same share with him and Paul cos they do more job than him (Jude); Peter even suggested that Jude should be relieved as their manager but Paul said no, this is why PSquare broke up, thank you. 1 Like |

fadar095:I appreciate your level of understanding but if you have worked in a bank as a marketer you will understand that a target given to you must be made or you are sacked, our records label should have human face cos the story of K Daniel makes my heart to bleed . Artists should always do a thorough job before signing any contract, thank you. |

Thanks for the this piece of information. I remember vividly the Law of Contract in those days @ LCP where Barr. Olatemiju lectured us how we must be very careful when entering into any contract and all clauses in the contract document must be well explained. Someone once said that there are three people you must have as friends...a lawyer is one of them. Be very careful when entering into any contract to avoid story that touches. |

azpekuliar:You are right... But I'm yet to read Joy's account of the case tho... But what I know is that people should leave Jude alone, the feud is between Jude,Rudeboy and Mr P and it's 2 against 1.... Meaning their is something they don't wanna disclose to the public and i know for sure Jude is simply abiding to their moms last wish before she died which Mr P is against... So until then Nigerians should leave Jude alone because it's family issues... |

Heistman: There is nothing off point here. Music is not for everybody. If you know you can't go by the contract then look for a job and when you are 80 years and have saved enough. Then do your music. It is not by force!! Una like to enjoy Record label investment but don't like them to reap their investments. Very greedy fellow!! 2 Likes |

Don't mind them. A downfall of an artist will always be blamed on the record label while the success will be only on the artist. Yeye pple. 1 Like |

[quote author=dominique post=89957458]I agree to an extent. The labels have a bit of part to play in an artist's downward spiral Those record labels spend millions to package an artist and want to recoup their investments in multifolds shortchanging the artists in the process. The artists seeing how much is being made off them will want to break free and make money on their own. It's only after they go solo that they realize that performing and promoting are different ball games. After some time, they start to decline. If only the record labels can make these contract more lucrative, maybe the artists won't have to quit on them before their contract expires[/quote I'm sure u didn't read the full script,all u re concern is first to comment.record label ain't sugar daddy. |

Slynation: Thank you but let's not mix up the issues. Going by the bolded I believe you are referring to the break-up between the members of P-square and their manager, Jude as well as their inability to reconcile and perform together again as one group & management outfit. The feud between Cynthia Morgan Vs Joy Tongo and Jude Okoye is a different matter and was what I was addressing. 1 Like |

Emmerlee: You haven't met an upcoming artiste and the hunger to be in th studio and tv screens and also the urge to have their sound out there that they would literally do anything. Meet a music executive, you will be promised heaven and earth, you will be exposed to a lot of flashy things, you will even record sounds for free stored somewhere within your reach, you get drowned in the life, based on all you've seen, you put pen to paper and boom that's it. The music executive lobbies for investors, luckily he gets some, meaning he gets paid a big amount of money, he spends a few on you and your music, you make small Doe, you are reeling in the life, now from the little you made for yourself you need to start taking care of yourself and your expenses, the music boss bails out, you are left to promote yourself, and you have obligation to bring in some money, your contract expires, you didn't meet that obligation, now you are owing the record label. If you sign somewhere else you must pay what you owe, they own your Masters, you may never perform any of your songs from the previous label until you pay what you owe. Not all record label are guilty of this but a lot of them. Do you know a couple of upcoming artiste you see flexing on IG with nic videos are actually on monthly salary ? |

Kiss Daniel was bouyant enough to face his former label, G-worldwide in court, and you would think he did that on his own, obviously there's an investor somewhere pushing the buttons for him, willing to toe the line with him. So is runtown too, the females don't find it that way in Nigeria, check the life span of a female artiste to the male colleague. That aside, we'll never know the full story to the Cynthia morgan debacle, she made hit songs after she left the record label too but according to her account she had health problems and family issues and she needed to go back home, don't know how true that is but things happen. My point is at the first point in her career with record label bosses, the chances of taking advantage of her talent and career is 85% , that's the case for many artiste in Nigeria. |

abbiboy: After your work interview, you get the job, do you bring in your counsel to advice you to sign the job contract or not, especially if it is your first job, you sign anyway. In many cases, where label owners are looking to take advantage of the artiste, the write the contract, even sometimes use the same counsel for the artiste and the management. There are bad executives out there bro. Read the Katy Perry story. |

I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A CLEAR,THOROUGH,SPECIFIC AND WELL DETAILED UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE SHOW BUSINESS INDUSTRY,BETWEEN THE RECORD LABEL AND THE ARTISTE,SO THEY CAN BE ON THE SAME PAGE.BECAUSE MUSIC IS EXPENSIVE AND LUCRATIVE ONE TOO |

Shaprara: That is why they need a Legal counsel. Signing a contract is not by force bro. If an artist is ready to do "anything" to get what they want how is that anyone's problem? No need for all these emotions, Record label is not a monopoly and artists can always go to others or even create one. All these sense of entitlement is absolute rubbish. Businesses are not run on emotions. You said music executives promise heaven on earth? Let the artist demand that those promises be made official in a contract. That's how it is done, to avoid stories that touch. Bro, the business world is straightforward just that we are too emotional and maybe senseless here. Most of these so called "cheated" artists cannot even sue their labels in a law court because they know they have no case really. I tire for Nigerians, we are too emotional and that is why we are easily shortchanged too. We are shortchanged in almost every area of life including government because our lives center on emotions and never on facts! 2 Likes |
