Runtown in trouble; can no longer perform or record songs [DETAILS]

Nigerian singer, Runtown is having a contractual dispute with Eric Manny Limited..

In a letter written to Eric Manny by the singer through his lawyers, Runtown claims that there was a threat made to his life.

He also said he was unfairly treated by the record label, owned by billionaire businessman, Okwudili Umenyiora.

Meanwhile, the record label has shared its side of the story.

The label says that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has slammed an injunction Runtown.

The injunction, the label says, prevents the budding singer from performing at any event or carrying out any form of recording unless approved by the label.

The statement released reads thus:

“Runtown is signed under the Ericmany Entertainment label that presently holds the copyright to all his music.

He was sued in the Federal High Court by Ericmany on allegations that he signs up, concludes and attends musical shows without the knowledge of the label.

Ericmany Entertainment was said to have invested millions of naira on Runtown.

However trouble started when Runtown apparently with the connivance of Bug Media ran by one Bugwu Aneto began to sideline Ericmany and collected money directly for shows without the knowledge of Ericmany.

Bug Media is also a party to the court case.

In another twist of events, the management of Ericmany has sacked the said Bugwu Aneto as General Manager of the company for infractions which might not be unconnected with his alleged connivance with Runtown to shortchange the Label Ericamany.

All inquiries about the artiste and bookings for shows would no longer be through Aneto but through the management of Ericmany.

It is not clear how the young artiste is reacting to the court case and injunction. Observers suggest he was misled by Bugwu, the former General Manager of Ericmany to ditch his boss and benefactor Ericmany, and may now that the chips are down find ways to go back and reconcile with the Ericmany.
