The ongoing conflict between the renowned gospel artist Mercy Chinwo and her manager, Mr Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Eezee Concept, is becoming increasingly intricate.

The record label head has publicly accused Mercy Chinwo of failing to adhere to the stipulations outlined in her contract.


He further alleged that she has been leveraging her influence and connections within her religious community to undermine his efforts and disseminate misleading information regarding the circumstances surrounding their disagreement.

Recently, it was reported that Mercy Chinwo took legal action by approaching the Federal High Court in Lagos. The court, overseen by Justice Alexander Owoeye, has since issued an arrest warrant for her manager in light of serious allegations of financial misconduct, which involve a significant sum of $345,000.

He shared that Mercy has received $625,000 from Eezee Concept thus far and expressed a desire to clarify certain aspects of their agreement to avoid further misunderstandings.

He mentioned that while Eezee Concept offered a fair 50/50 earnings ratio, the singer is seeking alternative support from law enforcement and religious organisations regarding a catalog she did not contribute to financially.


“It’s important to recognise that you have already received over $635,000. However, it feels disappointing that this situation continues to unfold in this manner. Your journey began as my backup singer, and I genuinely committed to supporting your career from the start. There is wrong information circulating and the potential misuse of legal and religious channels against me, which is concerning.

“I invested significant resources to help your career flourish, including offering you housing when you needed it. However, our agreement stipulated that a third album would be delivered, and funds meant for the label from events were withheld. When those challenges arose, I sought a constructive way to resolve the issues, proposing meetings and an independent audit for transparency. It’s also important to mention that I faced legal challenges last year, which led to an unjust situation involving $274,000.

“Your claim to a catalog that I financed is concerning, especially since you haven’t contributed financially to its creation. For years, you have benefitted from quarterly royalties and our agreed terms.

I genuinely appreciate the support and prayers from those around us. May we ultimately find a path toward truth and justice through open communication,” he said.
