Nigerian singer, Cynthia Morgan has resumed calling out her former label boss, Jude Okoye over her royalties.
Taking to her Instagram page, Cynthia shared a photo of the car he got her in 2013, which was bought in Mortgage. She stated that Jude claimed she owed him money and wasn’t productive in his label, yet when she performed at Coke Studio, she was paid N5 million and also played for Star Trek where she was paid not less than N1million for the 11 shows she did for them.
She stated that though she might be quiet, it doesn’t mean she is a fo0l as she noted how Jude hasn’t given her ‘her’ royalties on her intellectual properties to fate.
Cynthia added that she wants him to be aware that he has prized God’s hand and is playing a dangerous game.
“I got signed to Jude in October 2013 and this car was given to me in the last quarter of 2015 on “mortgage” As you can see I posted the car on my Instagram on the 5th of January 2016 and that was because they had to spray paint the car and all.
Jude claims I owe him money that I didn’t make him a dime while I was with his label. Coke studio alone paid me 5 million naira in 2016 and if I didn’t play shows for Star Trek during 2014/16 I played about 11 shows and I was never paid less than a million for each performance @judeengees and I am only saying these cause they are names brands. And what about my royalties on my intellectual properties To date I haven’t seen a dime.
I keep you quiet no mean say I be mumu.
But I want make you know say you don prize for God’s hand and you are playing a dangerous game”.
In 2020, Cynthia Morgan alleged that Jude took over all her social media accounts and stripped her of her name after she opted to leave the label. An accusation Jude denied with proof.
Cynthia Morgan’s former manager, Joy Tongo released the contract the dancehall singer signed with Jude. The contract which was signed in October 2013 and ran for 4 years had a 2-year option renewal, It also had a 50-50 sharing formula and it was not stated anywhere that Cynthia Morgan would lose her name.
The embattled reggae cum dance hall star didn’t stop there, she accused him of owing her N7m and continued to drag him, raining curses on him as she wished him suffering and tagged him “evil”.
Reacting to her rants, Jude Okoye mocked her in a sarcastic tweet, sarcastically claiming that Dangote also owes him N20 billion. He added that if he shouted too long, it might also become real.
Taking a move, Cynthia Morgan dragged him to court over the culpability of her intellectual property during their time together at Northside Entertainment.
In a court document, the singer demanded a full account of income and expenditure from her intellectual property. We wonder what happened to the court case as she hasn’t updated the public on it.
