In a live interview with Instagram influencer Tunde Ednut,
Jude Okoye addressed some of the allegations made against him by the
dancehall singer who accused him of shipwrecking her music career.
Her Stage Name And Social Media Accounts
Cynthia
Morgan who now goes by the stage name Madrina alleged that she was not
allowed to use her stage name and that she no longer had access to her
social media accounts following her exit from Jude Okoye’s Northside
Records.
Speaking to Tunde on the issue, Okoye denied the claim.
“I never took that name from her. I don’t have that power.”
Okoye added the songstress still had access to her social media account two years after leaving the label.
Her Contract With Northside Records
Jude
stated that the contract Cynthia Morgan had with him (Northside
Records) expired in 2017 when responding to a question on if Cynthia
Morgan was free.
Jude affirmed that Morgan indeed owed him over 40 million naira.
During the course of the interview, he said that he will make the contract available to the public.
Promotions
Cynthia claimed that Jude was not promoting her.
“Why
are people not asking questions; how come this girl has been down this
so long and not even one colleague came up to her rescue? Not rescue as
in giving her money or sponsoring her. Rescue as in identifying with
her.”
He said she burned all the bridges he built for her and stated Cynthia Morgan once questioned his value in her life.
On May D
Jude
Okoye also addressed the allegations made by Akinmayokun Awodumila
better known by the stage name May D. Following the allegations by
Morgan, May D whose brief stint with the defunct PSqaure ended in 2012,
stated that while he was with the label he was poorly treated. He
claimed that he slept on a carton in the boy’s quarters which he shared
with their driver.
In his reaction to the allegation, Jude said
he spent over a hundred thousand dollars on May D. According to Jude,
trouble began after he gave May D a contract and the singer came back
after 2 weeks stating that there were no incentives in the contract.
Jude
said May D had demanded a car and an apartment in Lekki despite the
fact that the singer was still up-and-coming and had not done any shows.
On Psquare
Jude
also chipped in on the bad blood between him and Peter. He stated that
the only reason he decided to speak up on the Cynthia Morgan allegations
was because Peter had involved himself.
Jude Okoye stated that
the reason PSquare broke up was because Peter didn’t want his (Jude)
involvement in the group. When asked if he could bring back the group
together again, Jude said no and that “there is nothing humanly possible
for me to do to bring Psquare back”.
