Mercy Chinwo Addresses Lawsuit Against Former Label Boss Eezee Concept
Nigerian gospel artist Mercy Chinwo has stated her legal team regarding the ongoing lawsuit against her former label boss, Ezekiel ThankGod, widely known as Eezee Concept.
In the statement posted on her Instagram, Chinwo shared details of her journey with Eezee Concept, starting as a background singer before becoming a signed artist.
She revealed that she signed her first contract in 2017, but later discovered that the dates on the contract were altered to 2019.
Chinwo further disclosed that Eezee Concept proposed extending her initial five-year contract to 12 years, which she rejected due to her career plans.
However, four years into the agreement, Chinwo claims the working relationship turned toxic, with her being subjected to verbal and emotional abuse.
According to Chinwo, Eezee Concept would make threatening statements like, “I will deal with you, I will mess you up, I made you who you are. I can shut you up, and nobody will hear you again, and I will destroy your career.”
She also alleged that the label owner misled event organizers about her availability, complicating her professional engagements.
Chinwo clarified that she did not file the lawsuit to demand ownership of her music catalogue, but instead sought the release of the original contract documents, specifically the first three pages and the execution page of the altered 2017 contract, to make them public.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
