Coach Nancy Apologizes as EeZee and Mercy Chinwo Work on Settling Royalties
Nancy Nnadi, Managing Director of EeZee Conceptz and known widely as Coach Nancy, has confirmed that efforts are currently underway to resolve the royalty dispute involving gospel singer Mercy Chinwo. This comes after Nancy publicly withdrew earlier claims she made against Chinwo during the heat of their legal tussle.
Back in January 2025, Mercy Chinwo took legal action against her former label boss, EeZee Tee, accusing him of diverting $345,000 in music royalties; a case that sparked headlines and followed her 2022 exit from the label over financial disagreements. In the midst of the legal back-and-forth, Nancy accused Chinwo of financial misconduct, prompting the singer to file a defamation suit against her, demanding a public apology and the removal of the posts.
Over the weekend, Nancy took to Instagram to retract her earlier statements and expressed hope for a peaceful resolution. She shared that the reconciliation process is being guided by respected church leaders.
“Following legal advice and in the interest of peace and the love of God, I take back my earlier post concerning Minister Mercy Chinwo,” she wrote. “I pray that God brings to completion the peace talks being handled by the Fathers of Faith between her and EeZee Conceptz.”

The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.

She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
