Popular Nigerian gospel singer Mercy Chinwo has accused her former manager Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu of threatening her life.
Mercy Chinwo and Onyedikachukwu have been embroiled in a legal battle, with the artist alleging that he diverted $345,000 in royalties from her digital platforms and events.
In a video uploaded on her social media account, the ‘Na You Dey Reign’ crooner threatened to destroy her, prompting her relocation from Lagos to Port Harcourt.
“He looked at me and said, ‘I made you who you are, and I will destroy you.’ I became scared of my life, and it got to a point where I had to move from Lagos to Port Harcourt because this man made the environment toxic for me.
“I’ve endured bullying. I’ve endured threats. Whatever he is doing on social media now is nothing compared to what I went through.
“I’ve endured bullying. I’ve endured threats. Whatever he is doing on social media now is nothing compared to what I went through.
“You seized my royalties for two years; you are a bully. You’re an oppressor. One of my major crimes was when I did a song with pastor Nathaniel Bassey.
“Because this man hates Pastor Nathaniel Bassey, you went as far as sponsoring fake news about an innocent child, my son.
“And you said my son was not my son. And you paid bloggers because you hate Pastor Jerry Eze. You didn’t want me to go for his event. The people you fight, I must fight them with you,” she said in the video clip.
