THINK CAREFULLY, YOU HAVEN'T CAUGHT CYNTHIA MORGAN IN A LIE

Usually when a label owner laments a breach to a contract entered into with an artiste, you hear things like "After all we did for him/her..We gave a brand new car,an apartment in Lekki and millions to upgrade".The contract Jude Okoye of Northside Inc had with his artiste doesn't stipulate any of these.Anyone who isn't hopping on the 'So Cynthia Morgan Lied' social media trend becaue everyone else is would immediately sense a need to scrutinize the available facts before reaching a new conclusion.It is common practice among label owners to provide these things later either in a bid to make the artiste a slave to gratitude or perpetually indebted by a huge sum of money they unilaterally determine and deduct after a percentage that is rightfully theirs.

It is disgusting to see even seasoned industry stakeholders rush to the conclusion that 'Cynthia Morgan Lied' just because her contract papers were made public.How do they prove that she was paid everything due to her or that the label fulfilled every obligation on its end?.Jude Okoye, a man whose blood brother says he had to break free from, claims Cynthia Morgan collected money from him to build a house for her mother among other things and that he seized her Vevo channel in a bid to recoup N40M she was owing him.Bear in mind the common practice i earlier stated of label owners creating endless debts with expenses not stated any where in their contract with artistes.

Going by that contract,Cynthia Morgan can only owe Jude Okoye his 50% share of earnings or production,video and promotion costs.Nothing else.It is not in dispute that she was paying her rent because her court case over unpaid rent was very well publicized.How exactly did Cynthia Morgan rack up a N40M debt?.

Her contract says the label is entitled to 50% of the artiste's earnings and that the artiste would cover 50% of video,branding,promotion and all other major costs but that it would initially foot 100% as a debt to be deducted from Cynthia Morgan's gross earnings without any stipulation as to the extent it would reach footing the bills.

In saying that shooting videos was all he really did, she rightly complained that they weren't properly promoted.We were all alive from 2013-2017 and the biggest promotion Cynthia Morgan got in that period,she earned for herself in 2015 when holding a baby with one hand and smoking with the other in the photo for her single; Baby Mama led to a squabble with Nollywood actress Caroline Danjuma.From where i'm standing,Jude Okoye has done nothing to squash Cynthia's claim that she wasn't fairly treated.It is shocking that people suddenly jumped to the conclusion that she was lying because he produced contract papers.In her live session with Sandra of MsVanila7,she was asked questions based on copies of that same contract which her interviewer had.How does the mere production of that contract now mean she was lying?.Did the Cynthia Morgan ever say she didn't sign any contract?.

If you claim she lied about her social media platforms being seized by Jude,the man has openly admitted to having commandeered her Vevo channel to recoup a N40M debt.An unlawful act if i may add considering that the contract is clear on all disputes being arbitrated upon.She made it clear that she didn't want to raise dust then because she felt it was unnecessary.To put it another way, she probably was too broke to start a legal battle and may have allowed every threat stand-'Don't use that name (We saw it with Kiss Daniel not too long ago if you recall) and hand over your social media to us'.

If 'Olowo', 'Lead Me On' or 'German Juice' gets played in any movie today,Jude will hold onto her 50% of whatever the pay is in the name of clearing a debt he has all by himself pegged at N40M.Northside Inc owns the masters of all the songs made for the 4 years she was signed to them.You may not like to hear it because of reasons you can't explain but nothing has changed,Cynthia Morgan deserves our sympathy.She is still another sad case of a talented artiste whose desperation to move up in their music career was exploited.
