Nigerian Oludemilade Martin Alejo, popularly known by his stage name YCEE, is a rapper and songwriter currently signed to Tinny Entertainment.
Ycee is contracted to tinny entertainment which announced in October 2016, that YCEE has signed a record deal with Sony Music to help push his career globally.
In the new reports released by tinny entertainment, it said that the contract Ycee signed with Sony entertainment has been terminated because the artiste is not benefitting from the group.
Ycee had few months ago called Michael Ugwu, the official of Sony Music Africa handling the deal; he accused the international brand of ripping off African artistes, claiming that they have been milking him and other African artistes in his tweet.
On 3rd of February tinny entertainment release a memo on their official website stating that they have terminated the deal between Ycee and Sony entertainment.
Tinny entertainment wrote,
“We would like to state officially that we terminated our contract with SONY through our lawyers, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, by a letter dated 5 December 2017. Henceforth, we are the sole owners of the copyright in any and all of our music and can exploit our music on any and every platform. We have realized that it is best to undertake the distribution of our records by ourselves, as a Record Label and that Made in Nigeria across board, is the only way to be above board. As a Label, we are pushing out great music this year starting with “Say Bye Bye,” “I Wish” and our YCEE and Bella Collabo EP, “Late Night Vibrations.”
We thank you for the love!”
Signed, Tinny
