Ma nigggga people don't just help u cos of the love they got for u, ur assertion is wrong. They love u cos of what they can gain from u. Just read tru that press release again and see the conditions that were set in the contract Harry signed. After buying out his previous contract for 5m, they want him to release 3 albums in 3years(Olamide is probably the only A'list artist that has achieved this in recent times), they don't want him to collaborate with other musicians on other labels,they want him to always remit a certain percentage to the record label for every penny he makes(which they are not telling us how high it is, probably like the wizkid vs EME 25%/75%)
Tell me where the love like a brother is coming from.

The truth is, they set some unrealistic terms and conditions in that contract, and knowing fully well that as a struggling artiste he is so desperate to get a platform, they were able to tie him down. The unwise Harry that he is didn't even learn from the issue he had with his initial label, he just took the bait.

Then why agree and sign the contract. When he was begging for a contract, he didn't know he would perform. He should conclude or buy off his contract because he has breach it.

Don't bargain for what you know you cannot do

Harrysong is to FiveStar what Emmanuella is to Macangel.

He did a lot to resuscitate Kcee's career and make the music label relevant. It is very possible there was a breach of contract but E-money should also factor the positive things Harrysong contributed to the label.

Artists and music labels disagree often. They shouldn't let this one get too messy.

Na only you get sense..One Million Gbosasa for you..Well Said!!!

3 albums in 3years? Una wan kill the guy?

One album per year. That is even poor. If a musician cannot make one album in one year, then that musician is lazy. That's is why I respect Olumide, a focus talented musician. Though I don't like his music

when did you start listening to Nigerian music? To tell me harry song established himself under Question Mark. If he established Luciano wouldn't let him go. I know QM very well and all the artistes signed to her as at then. So shut up and listen... Did he sign the contract Five Star gave him under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Or he is so dumb he can't read the Terms and conditions on his contract.


I started listening to Nigerian music when you were crawling and about to walk. I hope that answers your question. If Harrysong wasn't an asset and had not established himself before he joined KC's crew then how come 5 star music had to settle his previous record label with 5m as his former manager refused to let him go? Think bruh, think harder.

i concur with you Bro, but neva termed Harry unwise, he was desperate for survival and it worth any bait to survive...like they say "desperate time calls for desperate measures"

When Mr Songs said "i don get another sponsor" in his new song featuring timaya then he also said " e money dey blow yet no album" in the other single ..I know that could trigger issues..They should try and find away around it ..ejoor,biko...

I guess he was hailing Emoney when he said that in bacarna

Agreement na agreement, if Harry breached the terms and conditions of his contract, am afraid he has no leg to stand on.. I dont understand why he is been arrested in what is a civil case.. Lawless society, where those who have the means can do what they like.. smh

Honestly ,, before now i have noticed pride in the life of Harry Song, anybody with good eyes will know that Kcee and His brother loved Harry song naturally not because he is a good musician ..

I am not surprised by what is happening now because Harry Song is a proud guy since 2 years ago.

I use to see betrayal on his face anytime i see him around Kcee and his brother, upon all the love they have been showering him, he did not even give them a good music .

WELL SAID. That Harry Song is not even good. Five star music is just managing him

was he drunk when he signed the contract ? Or is he an illiterate that he can't read the terms and conditions of the contract He was simply desperate and in need of help and now he think he's established. he want to bit the finger that fed him. That's bad bro. Its bad.

I really don't understand how some people reason and think especially those saying 3 albums in 3 years. Why haven't anyone said anything on the 5 million naira that was used to bail out Harry Song. For him to have same issue with his first manager simply means the guy get issues. Let us not forget in a hurry that 5 star music stood by him in times of trouble. angry angry angry

Artists forget that music business is a business.
I believe Harry song was too excited by whatever robust deal they offered him from the get-go, forgetting that if a record label signs you with 5M, it's because they expect a ROI of 50M at least.

On the flip side, 5-Star label probably over used Harry Song during the course of his stay with them without enough compensation. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure he wrote virtually all the songs that came out of the label especially most of KCees's songs.
Harry song was probably also constrained and frustrated by not having the freedom to record and drop albums. Hence his inability to fulfill his 3-album obligation.

My advice, both parties need to hold an arbitration and resolve this amicably lest Harry Song would ruin his career, and 5-star would find themselves too busy Recording losses instead of hits.

This is why I hate being, or even sounding, desperate before an employer. Some of these people are like the devil. Give you a "juicy" contract with one hand and with the other hand, include some soul-sapping clauses.

that's record label for u, shebi na u wan blow?. You have to pay the price.

this is why people should go to school and even when you go to school, pass your subjects on your own without bribing your way through...I doubt if Mr Harry can even read and deduce a contract properly lololololol...he just saw the basis of sharing the loot and he signed...

Cant even understand this write up.

As in eh. The writer is running in circles. Briefly write, the reasons why he is arrested. What are the charges against Harrysong.

Making it look as if Harrysong did not play a big role in the growth of Five Star Music.
Re: 'Why We Arrested Harrysong' - Five Star Music Releases Official Statement by alex81(m): 11:11am On Jan 28, 2017
yeah, harry is talented, agreed. He brought fame & popularity to 5star music, also agreed!

but u av to understand dat a breach of contract is a breach of contract!

this is business, not a talent hunt program!

he was not forced. He begged. yeah, u heard me. he literally begged to be taken in by 5 star music.


not forgetting d millions of naira spent to settle all his debt from his previous label.

don't also forget dat if not for 5 star music he wouldn't have achieved wat he achieved today. dey provided d platform for what he is today. (the help is a two way channel)


So if u ask me, ds is a foul play from harry!






all dz coming from a loyal fan...









still waiting for wat he has to say though. ...
