You are not making sense. Skales might not have blown but Banky should come out n tell us Skales never made enough sales n show for him to recoup his investment. The same video you complimented Jude about is the one that I discovered he was a wolf in sheep clothing. Here is why, Cynthia Morgan n her manager begged you for a contract, you claimed was produced by her manager. Good, everyone signed you have Cynthia cars n other incentives, while is also had lots of hit for you to recoup your money though with her excesses. MayD got no contract even after the hit with Akon n you blindly chose to ignore the fact that MayD was raking in millions in sales only for Jude to then come up with a contract. Now, is that a fair deal ? Who earn all the money from the colabo with Akon was there not suppose to be a deal outlining that in place ? Does that not expose the fraudulent intent of Jude to milk his artist n then possibly enslave them ? MayD was smart enough to ask for incentives after a colabo that was topping the chat with Akon n our uncle Jude found that condescending after already using him na wa O. Did Barca test Messi before investing in his health talkless of gifting him a contract with all his health challenges ?! Your Jude exposed himself as a cunning n selfish businessman who isn't ready to gamble on an act unless he the act is already raking in millions into his pocket. The question now is if that is a good thing n even by my own flawed judgement I will say no but demonizing the act n painting himself 'Jude' a saint is not acceptable. How do we ascertain Cynthia didn't sell enough for Jude to rake his investment ? We all know how many years she was the queen of the dance hall n she reigned for close to 3 years or more. How much did Jude invest on her that her record sales n airplay alone couldn't foot his investment. Also why blame Cynthia Morgan for being foolish in regards to the contract with Jude n still blame MayD for being smart regarding same contract. This only exposed your sentiment, I put it to you that you are Igbo n only supporting Jude based on that reason. If this incident occurred with an Igbo at the receiving end like Cynthia Morgan your sentiment will be completely different. jaxxy: 1 Like |

oga everything u wrote there .... does it make sense to you? so record label pays radio station to play music and push on download sites and u call that a contract ? if that is what you do in Nigeria, I see why artiste male artiste last for 3months and their female end up servicing oza areas my brother wat u wrote there is complete vague and illogical business contract. but am sure that is what is done in Nigeria record label produce,protect and market your work through channels that are verifiable and that can be measured in terms of return and output, while they sell your album, they handle your personal finances related to your work, not lifestyle or living with them or becoming their stooge. royalties from your work are stated in the contract and the tenure. u can be with a record label and still be living poor untill your work produces the right output that will elevate your lifestyle. what you do here in Nigeria is slave trade and fraud....Yahoo record label. they spend imaginary money on you and claim everything you own is their making.....what does that mean? na bride price? pls whoever asked u to defend the made artiste slaving upcoming ones is wasting his energy ....we are not all ignorant. 2 Likes |

Slynation: Everyone has now had the benefit of listening to the 3 sides of the story (Cynthia’s, Joy’s & Jude’s) and my conclusion is that apart from being unprofessional, Cynthia is an ingrate who should not be touched with a 10 feet pole! 5 Likes |

BiafranBushBoy: I disagree Bruh. My common sense tells me there's a way it has been worked out that the telecoms company ain't the only one who benefit. I will break it down , to watch or download a music track on YouTube is so expensive. If u watch on low quality, high quality or basic. They grab all ur MB so that u buy again. YouTube pays millions to the artists. Where do u think they get the money from, definitely from us, through adverts shown to us and downloads.(our data or WiFi) .the profit formula has been worked out by YouTube, Vevo, Google, the powers that be, etc..the end user pays directly or indirectly my dear, nothing is free |

Seriously I don't see any sense in this..... do you know how much does label realise in just a show?? Let's use Kiss Daniel as an example when in he was with G-world wide, his boss do pay him 30k per month Just imagine someone like kiss Daniel with that kinda salary despite his shows and tours I just think those record labels should be fair with their dealing and contract That's one of the major reason I respect YBNL, he's helped some many young artiste Why will you call yourself a record label boss living a sumptuous life at detriment of your employees...... we all have conscience 4 Likes |

/ The money given to the artistes are advance loans. Some will go on spending spree to buy cars and jewelries. Record label must recover the money before the artistes get paid. The problem is that the artistes are looking at numbers without considering the process that gave out such numbers. It is an industry. It is a business. It is worse in USA where there is a litany of one hit wonders. / 6 Likes |

Shaprara: You people and your emotions.. It's hard to deal with people who are never factual. How can you say the record label give them contract and then say they leave them hanging again? What then is in the contract that was signed? Do you guys even understand what a contract is? Have you asked if the artists are even consulting a legal counsel before appending their signatures? Are they made to sign at gun point? You people should please remove your heads from your arses. . 4 Likes |

Nigerian artists should go and learn humility from South Korean musicians. They are signed in early, trained for years, introduced to the entertainment world and they may become popular with their first hit but they don't normally have a say until their contract expires. They may wish to continue or leave. It's like boy boy in igboland. When I see our music industry, I shake my head because both the artist and label want to recoup in nano second that's why they produce these things they call music out there. No voice training at all. They don't even learn how to play instruments. Geez. Record companies continue recycling beats. No new innovation. Showing boobs and nyansh, guys puffing off weeds on camera and we call that entertainment cos we want to be like America or follow fella style. This is why they never make it. They are talentless. 4 Likes |

abobote: Lemme add this, if you are that good, and have push yourself to an extent. In this age of social media, record labels will fall over each other to sign you. And the contract won't be a slave one because they know they need you more. Check the story of how Justin Bieber was signed by Usher Raymond. It was a struggle between Justin Timberlake and Usher to sign Bieber before he later choose Usher. Bieber had pushed himself, with his mother's effort to an extent on Youtube. http://www.mtv.com/news/1621324/usher-and-justin-timberlake-battled-it-out-for-justin-bieber/ |
