Music’s media representative, Aisha Inusa sent a press release stating that the music management is suing Samklef for encouraging an artiste, Jayfeel to breach a contract and also Optima media group (OMG) and Jayfeel for a breach of contract.
She stressed that the artist entered into a lawful contract with Qinc Music and subsequently entered into a second agreement with Samklef and OMG despite several media releases, pre and post his participation in the Nigerian idols under the management of Qinc Music. They are suing the aforementioned parties for a total of N1Billion.
It was reported that Jayfeel real names Joshua Enakhimion, in a bid to forge ahead with his career inked a contract worth $150,000 with Optima Media Group headed by Rotimi Pedro - a deal supposedly engineered by Samklef. On reaching Samklef, the super producer stated, “Their (Qinc music) business is with OMG and not me. I have no legal business with Jayfeel. They should take it up with OMG.”
We contacted Qinc Music’s legal representative, Barrister Gbenga Wellington of Ivory and Wellington Solicitors and on our request for details of his client’s contract with Jayfeel, the Barrister said he wasn’t in the position to provide details of the said contract.
However,OyewoAdedoyinMicheal, CEO of Qinc Music when contacted stated, “Jayfeel has a valid contract with Qinc Music and no sane management company will issue such press statement if claims couldn’t be backed up legally.Jayfeel is actually an amazing kid, with so much talent and with talent comes bad advice.The artist was happy with the terms and conditions of his contract and that is evident in materials released pre and post his participation in the Nigerian Idol Season 3. So he was definitely induced to breach his contract.The Qinc Music team are wounded lions; the attempted mediation was our healing period but now we are willing to bite with the legal system.”
As at the time of filing this report, efforts to reach Rotimi Pedro of Optima Media Group proved abortive and numbers to Jayfeel’s camp were switched off. Some have gone on to state that this is probably a ruse or just a ploy to get the Optima Media Group to settle out of court; as it is well known that the huge media firm affiliated with shows like Nigerian Idol, Nigeria’s Got Talent, X-Factor, and also Bloomberg Television in Nigeria and many other content shows in Nigeria, have deep pockets.
