Nigerian broadcaster and presenter, Gbemi Olateru Olagbegi, better known as OAP Gbemi has hopped in on the issue between Cynthia Morgan and Jude Okoye, her former record label boss.
Recall that Morgan accused her former record label boss of her music career misfortune, after things went south for her when she
signed a contract with Jude Okoye’s Northside Entertainment.
According to OAP Gbemi, who is currently the program director for Naija FM 102.7FM, people who can’t free N5k are asking record labels being owed millions to “just forgive and forget“.
The media personality also told upcoming artistes venturing into any contract-signing deal to get good lawyers.
Her tweets reads;
“Artiste o, Label o, Entrepreneur o, investor o- get good lawyers . Read your contracts well. And do your best to be fair .
”Some of you here will not allow a 5,000 Naira debt go but you’re asking a record label that is being owed millions by an artiste to “just forgive and forget “ . Hilarious . Stop asking others to do what you cannot do .
”Orishirishi stories . I always say I should write a book but I’m busy abeg + you people like to download books and not buy .
”A lot of people think it’s just for an artiste to record a hot song (as if that it easy ) and the artiste just blows. There’s so much more that happens @bizzleosikoya do you want to do a thread or IG live to discuss this ? And the approximate cost to break an artiste in?
”It’s also because people still don’t understand that this is business . People are feeding their families from this
”I don’t care how talented your artiste is . Money must be spent . Recording sessions , mixing /mastering , their look, publicity , perception , their videos . Etc . There’s so much money being spent . And we don’t even do it properly in Naija. More is spent abroad.”
