Harrison Tare Okiri, also known as Harrysong, a Nigerian singer and instrumentalist, has urged his former record label owner, Kcee, to pay his seven-year royalties.
According to reports, Harrysong and Kcee had a public falling out in 2016.
The police took Harrysong into custody after receiving an invitation from the state’s Assistant Inspector-General of Police. Harrysong had avoided Kcee and the record label since then.
On Monday, he took to social media to ask his fans to assist him petition Kcee to release his entitlement.
“I’m here to beg you all to help me beg Kingsley Okonkwo, known as Kcee to refund my money and release my songs.
“For more than 7 years now, he’s been the one collecting 100% of my royalties from all my big songs, Reggea blues, Baba for the girls, Samankwe, Better Pikin and Ofeshe. It’s not fair.
“At least, he can take his percentage and give me what is rightfully mine. Na beg I dey beg am, I know he likes to bully, he’s the Power Mike, help me beg him, the songs are mine, he should at least be fair to give me what is rightfully mine.
“May God not let us work, and another man just be reaping our hard end sweat in Jesus name,” he wrote.
Kanyidaily recalls that Harrysong’s grandmother expressed shock over the price of food at a restaurant.
