Nigerian rapper, Ycee has called out the CEO of his former record label, Tinny for being a fraud.
It is no news that Ycee had a fall out with his former record label Tinny Entertainment which resulted in messy court cases and the singer leaving the establishment officially in January 2019. Just recently the CEO, Tinny took to his Instagram page to share a post of appreciation for attaining 100million streams across all platforms tagging only the handle of the record label.
Upon seeing his post, Ycee took to his Instagram page to share his painful ordeal in the hands of the owner of the record label. According to him, he and the other artistes in the label did not for once benefit from the streams generated. Ycee also revealed that Tinny has on so many occasions gotten away with making profits off other artistes hard work and sweat.
The “Jagaban” rapper further explained that his reason for coming on social media to reveal this is to enlighten and protect other artistes from suffering the same fate and falling into the hands of manipulative and delusional human beings
Before I start I would first like to apologize to every one of you all that I hold in high regard because I’ve tried my possible best to not let my social media be used as a point of negativity or conflict but I’ve been left with no choice
So the CEO of TINNY ENTERTAINMENT took to his Instagram page yesterday to show gratitude for 100million plus streams (across all platforms) and this was brought to my attention which left me confused because the post as seen above was accompanied with the caption “Grateful” and the handle of the label and no mention of the artistes whose content generated those streams.
LET IT BE KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT NOT A SINGLE DIME GENERATED FROM THOSE STREAMS GOT INTO THE POCKET OF ANY OF THE ARTISTES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT THAT GENERATED THOSE STREAMS AND TO ALL THAT HAVE MADE CONGRATULATORY COMMENTS ON THE POST, THE ONLY THING THE CEO IS GRATEFUL FOR IS THE FACT THAT HE HAS YET AGAIN, SEEMINGLY GOTTEN AWAY WITH PROFITING OFF OF OTHER PEOPLES SWEAT (like he has been well known to do so many times in the past)
I have been silent as I have quietly been focused on rebuilding my life and career and also out of respect to my previous employer but he, in turn, has not accorded me that same respect. Actions ranging from attacks on my reputation by spreading falsities about me, saying I betrayed him by leaving his label (knowing fully well the terms on which our business relationship ended) to leaking my music which he absolutely has zero rights to release but unfortunately happens to possess in order to delay and destabilize my debut album release.
Before anyone asks why I’m doing this, it is simply to protect any other artistes from suffering the same fate and falling into the hands of this manipulative and delusional human being. I have spent the most part of the last 24hours on set shooting the first single off my album and I am going to get some rest at this juncture so nobody should call my phone.
