Judge Tells Brymo to go on Recording&Releasing Music
A federal High court in Ikoyi has freed Brymo and told him according to a lyric in his song-'to go and perform the wonders he aspires to'(Ara nbe ti mo fe da)
The injunction filed by record label Chocolate City against him was lifted by Justice I. Buba of
the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi Lagos.
'Since the plaintiff (Chocolate City) can be compensated at a later date, the defendant is free to carry out his duties as a singer so that none of the parties will be at a disadvantage'
Brymo's Llawyer, Nike Olagbede, after apologising to the court for her unruly behaviour, argued that Brymo was right to quit the record label, as the latter could not fulfil its promises.
On why Brymo left the lebel, his counsel said:
'An underground artiste signed for a record label in good faith and believed his career will be propelled. All that was promised was not fulfilled and the singer couldn’t promote himself. He wants to be released because artistes in this music industry have a short career span.'
Also claimed that Chocolate City informed Brymo that they wouldn't be able to fund his second album because they were financing other artistes on the label. It was also revealed that Brymo signed a five-year and three-album contract with Chocolate City, which was due to expire on April 13, 2016.
After lifting the injunction, the judge adjourned the case till March 19, 2014 to give the counsels time to provide witnesses to back up their claims.
The case has been adjourned till March 19, 2014 to enable Chocolate City present claim whether he breached the contract or not.
