The conflict between gospel artist Mercy Chinwo and her former producer, Mr. Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, CEO of Eezee Conceptz Limited, has escalated, with both parties accusing each other of contract breaches and financial improprieties, as reported by The Guardian.
In a public statement, Onyedikachukwu said, “I housed you for months and gave you a solid platform to thrive. What is my reward? False accusations and a campaign to tarnish my reputation.”
He alleged that Chinwo had failed to honor her five-year contract with Eezee Conceptz, which began in 2017, and had used her religious influence to spread misinformation.
Onyedikachukwu further claimed that Eezee Conceptz had invested significant resources in her career, including over $635,000 in payments, and accused her of breaching their agreement.
He maintained, “I gave you opportunities that many only dream of, yet you’ve chosen to repay me with dishonesty and defamation.”
Mercy Chinwo has taken legal action, resulting in an arrest warrant issued by the Federal High Court in Lagos against Onyedikachukwu for alleged financial misconduct involving $345,000.
However, Onyedikachukwu’s lawyer, Mr. Maxwell Opara, denied the allegations, stating, “The claims against my client are baseless. He was her producer, not her manager. No funds were diverted.”
