Nigerian rapper YCee has called out the owner of his former record label, Tinny Entertainment. He accused him of refusing to acknowledge or pay his artists — both past and present — what they deserve, even after continually generating profit from their hard work.
This comes after Tinny Entertainment celebrated a milestone of 100 million streams on various music platforms. Ycee earlier announced his exit from Tinny entertainment after floating his own record label, “ANTB”, at the beginning of the year.
Pouring out his anger about the issue, he shared a lengthy post on Instagram:
He stated how this was for the benefit of Bella Alubo, Dapo Tuburna, and other artists who came after him. The rapper also took to Twitter and made a live video:
— ZAHEER! (@iam_YCee) September 18, 2019
So far, there hasn’t been any response from Tinny Entertainment regarding the issue.
As YCee calls out the misdeeds and exploitation of Tinny Entertainment, it begs to question how many record labels take advantage of young upcoming artists who do not understand the terms of their deals and are tricked into signing away their talents, money and future.
