Latest from Brymo‘s camp in relation to the
ongoing dispute between Chocolate
City Entertainment and
former artiste, Brymo. Read below.
“On
the 30th of October 2013, a meeting was held between Brymo, his Management and
representatives of Chocolate City at the Chocolate City office. This
was one of many prior attempts at reaching a mutually acceptable resolution of
the conflict between the Artiste and the Record Label. After
deliberations at the meeting, certain terms were agreed between the parties and
Chocolate City promised to capture the terms in an agreement to be signed by
both parties.
A
few days later, Chocolate City sent in a plan with terms which were not reflective
of the deliberations and agreements at the said meeting. A similar occurrence
had taken place in June when lawyers representing Chocolate City promised to
hand Brymo a Statement of Release from the label on the condition that he would
give up his (#SonOfaKapenta) album to the label.
The
artiste had insisted that Chocolate City has no right to the work as he still
possessed the rights to the work and the lawyers had failed to provide the
release even after Brymo agreed to give up the said album.
Please
note that the artiste’s initial decision to release his work/ earnings was done
in good faith and with a desire to reach an amicable settlement. It is becoming
apparent that Chocolate City is not acting in the same spirit of good faith.
The
artiste elected to sever relationships with Chocolate City in May 2013 when
Chocolate City consistently failed to fulfill its obligations under the
contract. And rather than resolve amicably, the label is devising strategies to
ensure that the Artiste remains unproductive.
Brymo
asserts that under the circumstances of the creation, nature, execution and
implementation of his contract with Chocolate City, he is well within his
rights as an Artiste and if no amicable resolution is reached, will be willing
to defend same under the provision of the Law.”
