It's obvious jude is a user why would an upcoming artist pay 50% of her production among other things you still had the gut to say the profit should be 50%50 like seriously boy ? If you're not paying for the cost of production as a company then don't bring the 50/50 deal on the table he wanted to kill her career thanks to the creator she's back on her feet and she's currently the no.1 artist trending in Africa without releasing a single yet so jude can go back to where he belong THE STREETS.....He blocked me on Instagram cause I curse am no be small

you no get sense. that is one of the most generous record label deal! With MAVIN, the best you can get is 33%. even dbang as big as he was back then was getting 33%. what happened to the money she made before now??. nThe only time she will have mouth to talk is if she not paid her due

That Cynthia and his people signed that contract shows that they were long dead before they begin. How can production cost should be shared 50/50 when company decide the cost... What then did they do for artists then? When that cost is deductable from income made. This is debt brought forward to wipe out potential profit in future. That Jude na criminal... Cynthia brain is full of nudity and nothing more, olodo rapata!

Don't take the bait,better ignored.

Nigerians are indeed very emotional. Now we have incontrovertible proof that Cynthia lied. In saner climes Jude can sue her for every Kobo she has (which isn't much to start with).

He'll spend more money suing her than what he can expect to get from the settlement

Never a dull moment

Same pity Dem take force Buhari on intelligent Nigerians.
Some people just refuse to be smart and end up falling for anybody looking for pity.

Nigerians are awesome

I'm not sure dude knows much about contract law.

nextstep:
We are circulating around the same thing:


- he claims he owes 100% of the videos while he doesnt
He owns 100% of the videos she did while in the label. Section 9 assigns performances (live, recorded, etc) 100% to him. Even if he paid only 50% of the cost, the contract assigns all of the video to him.

- he claims she owes him 100% of video production cost, while she doesnt
He paid 100% of the cost, she owes him her share (50%). I don't see a claim she owes 100% of the cost. Please point me to anywhere that claim is made.

- he hijacked her vevo (and possibly royalties) while the contract says only a Lagos court can decide that.
If she feels there's a dispute, she is free to take him to court. However, section 15. (NON-CIRMUMVENTION) says essentially that "Artists shall not detrimentally interfere with the efforts of Company to distribute..." Since the music video belongs to the Label (section 9), and not to Cynthia, the label essentially owns how and when the video is played, including YouTube, Vevo, radio stations, etc. and can take steps to protect its property, including taking ownership of the page for the brand "Cynthia Morgan". She assigned that right in section 10 (LICENSE FOR USE OF NAME AND IMAGE).

- the minute she stepped out of the contract and they accepted that she could leave, then the record label had NO MORE CLAIM over these songs.... apart from the 50% royalties to offset the debts.

Contracts end, but the ownership of the songs remains with the Label. They own the rights (section 9), they own the copyright if assigned (section 12), and have sole, exclusive and perpetual ownership to the songs (section 14) (i.e. forever).

Former employees don't come back to claim any rights to the work they did for a former employer (unless it was stimulated in contract)... I don't see how she can still own the songs (and all performances, including music videos) she assigned to somebody.

Are we reading the same contract?

[quote author=Edoloaded post=89984654]I see many people here forming Odogwu and judging what they don't know and forming woke.

The same Jude that no artist under his Label was able to last 3 years...

Is it Waje , Mayd , Cynthia Morgan ? Even Psquare split under him.


So upon all the accusations against jude na just name he wan take defend himself, he is mad. Why did he not react to what May D said or what Peter said. The Bible said affliction will not rise for a second time.

If this recent publicity is God's way of bringing Madrina (Cynthia Morgan) into the limelight after all the suffering there's nothing Jude or you Nairaland trolls or anybody else can do to stop it[/quote Hey!!! Nigerians and audio religion. Dnt bring God into this shit. God does not promote worldly music that promote unholy lifestyles.

Millenniumlady:
Boy i'm better than you because what I've achieve right now in my early twenties you can't come close to that in your late 50s.

What have you achieved? What is your name let me Google you? Are you the President? Forbes does not even know you and you are aounding your empty trumpet. Abeg park one side. Anu

MPESA:
Go back and reread again this time slowly.

I know some people are capitalist minded while some are liberals.
Let me give you a real life example.
A guy came to you that he is unemployed and wants to start UBer but does not have money. You decided to buy a car for the guy. The car cost 10 million.
You contribute 5 million he contributes 5 million.
But due to the guys situation he cant come up with his 5 million, so you decide to buy the car 100%. With a contract that he will refund you your 5 million. Good no problem.

Then he start Uber, makes 50k a week.
Remember in the profit sharing formula it is 50/50.
So you split the profit 25 each, but the driver does not take 25k he takes 10k because he has to pay your 5 million naira.

I have no problem with the arrangement.

But why will YOU now take ownership of the car even after paying up the 5 million. Because according to the contract it says the ALBUM belongs to the record label.

Does that make sense to you ? If yes no wahala. We are all wired differently some are capitalist while some are liberals.

bro I reason aswell but I nor know how them day do am

Na to try am out. I know one can't open from Nigeria here

sketcherJ:
Guys the title is not even the case. I took my time to read the content of this contract. I was kinda supporting Jude before but when I saw this contract. I just know that there is no way an artist would become rich in this record label.
How much will the artist make to pay production fee 50% and still share 50% with the company? Read guys!!

sheybi record label na charity organisation

PlainJoe:
They should resolve their issues please.

Dear Nairalanders, please we need your help. I stopped working over 3 months ago due to my failing health condition as advised in the hospital. Things are really not going well with us at the moment economically after I have exhausted the little savings I had. At the moment, no food in the house again. Wife will be put to bed by next month and yet no preparations for the baby. Help us any way you can please.

Below is a link of the thread that explains everything including my contacts.

Thanks as you reach out to us. Please continue to stay safe.

since u said they shld resolve their issue...u shld likewise resolve urs

most comments can't interpret a contract ..... so that a counts for the abuses and biased comments

the contract still is vague and wasn't followed to the letters or otherwise there are other things granted to the artist that wasn't mentioned in the contract that amount to cost which the company see as cost of production

these are unnecessary favours and obvious they were sleeping together and working together otherwise there is no provision for personal funding and lifestyle in the contract except song production

how Morgan now owes the company explains this ruse, Jude was following the unwritten pattern of lavish spending on a new catch in the name of record label, it is typical of the industry.

it is also sad that profit is stated in contract and shared abinitio which is fraud .... the smartest deal would have been for company to recover expenditure through joint receipt review and a balance shared in ratio of an amount not less or higher than 30-40% to the company .... that way nobody looses and no debt will be invited even if you bleep and charge her for the bleep period.

section 3 of the contract leaves the artiste forever indebted to the company and would obviously have a deficit....cost of production borne by company @100% and the bal of 50recovered from the same 50% profit promised!!!

guy think am naa u av zero bal for the artiste and unless the income is stupendously high which I doubt the artiste would never be told the true picture of his gross income after release

whoever wrote that contract set a trap and Jude should be arrested for advanced fee fraud ....that contract is null & void.

Artiste signing up a cover name over to company is sad development ..... company retains their brand name and since artiste is riding on that platform bigger than artiste, there is no justification to sign over your name or dictate which name to use by company

this is greed and slavery. my performing name is my brand now and post contract

anyways this dosent matter because lots of upcoming are either too dumb to read or too naive to understand the deal, dumb enthusiasm takes the better part of them and the vultures just draft a yoke to be burdened on the ignorant dude

yinkeys:
Seems Cynthia lied. Having musical talent is totally different from business management
She probably stills owes Jude and it seems the capital set out to promote her didn’t yield profit.

shey owes jude, she left before contract was over, did shows behind the labels back, and still defamed jude...... i blame jude for not going after her in the first place

Sanchez01:
I quite agree with you. She failed to hire a lawyer and didn't understand the contract she signed.

its a freaking lie..... she was already known before they signed her.... so she wasnt desperate for a label...... a secondary school student doesnt need anyone to explain that contract up there saying she didnt read the contract is a lie......i just hate when people lie too much....... i was pitying her at first now I'm just glad her glory was cut short so she should have sense and not try rubbish anymore

[quote author=obontami post=89992351]That's bubble bop. I love that shit too.
I love that song like shit,still surprise me how people ain't talking about that song.

u are just being emotional, read the script once more without emotion and then you will see where Northside agreed to pay 100% of her production because she is an upcoming artist.

Its unfortunate about your assertion because its obvious that you don't read through the lines.

check page 2, bullet 3 and line 4. Its states that for a new artist, the company will sponsor him/her 100% then later, the company will deduct her 50% from the total profit.

don't be clouded by your feelings

Guy, your comment is tiring and also wicked!
Didn't Cynthia Morgan have family members? why didn't they invest in her?
Can you take such risk? investing such amount on an upcoming artist you are not even sure will blow?
Accommodation, feeding, clothes, and other expenses. Did you know the kind of contract Kennis gave Tuface? Una go just dey reason anyhow

Ijeleigbo:
Davido, Africa's biggest music star has offered to give Cynthia Morgan a deal! People are donating on a GoFundMe page to kickstart her career. Cynthia Morgan is too talented to go down the drain just like that. She's a Queen and the only possible rival that can take the crown off Tiwa Savage!
