I’m supposed to have faith, but I didn’t have faith. God bless you all, all the other actors. I’d say, ‘You know, young boys are going to win, you ain’t going to win.’ So I didn’t even prepare. But I am prepared!”

Between Harrysong, Five Star music and all the contract breach drama

The weekend was filled with controversy and dispute between former Five Star music artiste, Harrysong and the music label owned by E-money.

On Friday, the Reggae Blues singer was reportedly picked up by the police to meet with the state’s Assistant Inspector General who was in charge of settling the case between both parties.

The management of Five Star Music cited breach of contract and fraud as offences committed by Harrysong but his own management under his newly-formed record label, Alterplate have debunked the claims adding that Harrysong never approached Five Star to sign him but instead was begged by Kcee “on bended knees to join the company and help save the latter’s dying career”.

According to his management, Harrysong wrote and co-produced all of Kcee’s hit tracks, including Limpopo.

In a comeback statement, Five Star have warned the general public against doing business with Harrysong as he never fulfilled the terms of his contract with the label, one of which included releasing three albums. The label also claimed to have spent a lot of money on the artiste but never got any returns.
