Nigerian gospel artiste Mercy Chinwo has released a statement via her lawyers addressing the lawsuit against her former label boss, Ezekiel ThankGod, more popularly known as Eezee Concept.

The mother of one also claimed that she signed her first contract in 2017, but the dates were later changed to 2019.
According to Chinwo, Eezee Concept proposed extending her initial five-year contract to 12 years. However, she declined, explaining to him that she had other plans.
Four years into the contract, Chinwo claims the relationship became toxic, and she was subjected to verbal and emotional abuse.
Chinwo alleged that Eezee Concept would use statements such as “I will deal with you, I will mess you up, I made you who you are. I can shut you up, and nobody will hear you again, and I will destroy your career.”
Mercy Chinwo further alleged that the label owner misled people who were inviting her to events about her availability.
She insisted that she never filed a lawsuit against Eezee Concept to demand her catalogue but only wants him to release the first three pages and the execution page of the contract she signed in 2017, which he allegedly altered, to the public.
