And the beef goes on between Harrysong and his former Five Star label mates who have been exchanging words in the media space.
Harrysong
Last Friday, Harrysong was arrested by Five Star music and shortly
after his release, the record label claimed that the Reggae Blues
crooner had profusely begged Kcee to sign him into the label some years
ago.
According to Five Star Music, Harrysong was fond of abandoning
contracts halfway which was one of the reasons he left his first record
label, QuestionMark Entertainment.
In a swift reaction, Harrysong’s new record label, Altar Plate
released a statement signed by the company’s media manager, Desmond Ike
-Chima, on Sunday, where Harrysong also claimed that he was not arrested
by the police, rather he was invited by officers from the Onikan Police
Station in Lagos.
The statement reads, “It was 8 am and policemen acting on the
instruction of the Assistant Inspector General of Police in Onikan,
stormed our hotel room to invite Harrysong over for questioning.
“As a law abiding citizen with nothing to fear, we got dressed
up and went to the AIG’ s office. On getting there, we were greeted by
the presence of a haggard looking young man in cheap suit, identified as
Five Star Music’s lawyer.
“As against the kangaroo statement released by Five Star Music,
Harrysong did not at any time approach anyone or company to sign him;
it was Kcee [who] approached Harrysong on bended knees to help salvage
his dying career after he fell out with his then partner [Presh].
“As much as Harrysong loved to help him out in that time of
need, it is worthy of note that Kcee is talentless and knows next to
nothing about music.
“Harrysong had a running contract with Questionmark Records,
but out of desperation, Kcee and Five Star Music were prepared to pay
off Kelvin Luciano in their quest to have Harrysong at all cost.
“It should be recalled that Harrysong succeeded in recreating
Kcee’s sound, as he wrote and co – produced hits including Had it been I
know, Okpekete.
“Limpopo, Pull Over and other songs that defined the Kcee that everyone now knows and celebrates today.
“For what it’ s worth, Harrysong’s dealing with Five Star Music
was with the clause that he would be left to pursue his career whenever
he deemed it fit. For the records, Altarplate has come to stay and the
general public can do business with Harrysong and Alterplate
management.”
