Nigerian Entertainment Gossip: “KCee Lured me to Lagos under Pretense, got me Arrested” – Igwe Credo Cries Out
Emerging Nigerian vocalist, Francis Akunne, popularly known as Igwe Credo Mbem, recently exposed the scheme in which KCee enticed him to Lagos using a fabricated identity, ultimately resulting in his arrest at the airport
In a candid interview, the young artist disclosed that, amid the entire controversy, he and Ojazzy received a mere N500k as compensation from KCee.
Igwe Credo meticulously outlined the payments, including dates and details of the purposes for which the money was intended, shedding light on how the entire ordeal unfolded.
“I was fighting for the publishing rights of the song, which is entitled to everybody who participated in the song. I did the chant and hyping of E-Money in Ojapiano. I am asking for the split-ship for the two songs I helped create.”
Igwe Credo additionally revealed his involvement in crafting the tunes, going beyond the role of Ojazzy’s manager to actively contribute as an artist.
In the conversation, Igwe acknowledged that his existence turned into a harrowing experience following his appearance on YanBaba’s program, where he discussed his interactions with KCee.
In the interview, he recounted how KCee enticed him to Lagos, leading to his apprehension last November after his discussion with YanBaba gained widespread attention.
“What happened was that a client called us and said he had a gig for us. We charged them N2.5m, but we agreed on N2m. One million was paid into our account, and flight tickets were booked for me and Ojazzy.
On arriving in Lagos, we were picked up at the airport by the police and were thrown in jail. We never knew it was KCee who was behind it all. He lured me and Ojazzy from Awka to Lagos so he could deal with us.”
Igwe Credo shared that he and Ojazzy spent a day in jail but were bailed out by his management.
“Ojazzy was paid off, I am yet to receive shishi” – Mbem revealed Igwe Credo confirmed that he is currently in discussions with KCee and his management, as they have agreed to give 5% of the split-ship and royalties of the two songs. Though the contract for this has yet to be signed.
“After we were released, Ojazzy had an agreement with them as he was paid off; that was why he was given the car. But I am yet to receive shishi. They also agreed to use him whenever KCee has a show, and he needs an Oja person.”
