Ycee calls out his former record label owner Tinny
In January 2019, Nigerian Rapper, Ycee parted ways with his former label, Tinny Entertainment amidst controversial circumstances. His exit led to mass exodus of other artistes under the label including Damilare and Bella Alubo.
Now, he has taken to social media to drag his former label boss who shared a photo celebrating the fact that the label had reached a record milestone of 100million streams across all digital platforms.
He wrote;
‘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 artists responsible for the content that geberatd those streams and 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 people’s sweat’. See his full post below…
Before I start I would first like to apologize to everyone 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 artists responsible for the content that geberatd those streams and 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 people’s 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. ThankYou.
