Mercy Chinwo and EeZee Tee’s Ongoing Feud Escalates as Judikay Speaks Out on Alleged Financial Mismanagement

The ongoing controversy between Nigerian gospel sensation Mercy Chinwo and her former manager, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu ThankGod, widely known as EeZee Tee, has taken a new turn as another gospel artist, Judith Kanayo, popularly called Judikay, has publicly addressed similar issues with the record label, EeZee Conceptz. This latest revelation has sent shockwaves across the gospel music industry, raising questions about financial transparency and contractual ethics in the Christian entertainment space.

Judikay, who was signed to EeZee Conceptz in February 2019, has now disclosed that for four years, she was never granted access to her financial backend nor allowed to receive direct payments. Instead, all financial records were solely handled by the label, and receipts were provided to her at their discretion. She trusted her management without questioning their processes until the expiration of her contract in February 2024, when she discovered financial irregularities.

Following the end of her contract, Judikay sought a proper closure process through meetings with EeZee Conceptz. However, her attempts to clarify financial matters were met with resistance. She initially requested an audit to assess her earnings over the years, but instead of cooperation, she found herself blocked by EeZee Tee, who reportedly cut off all communication with her. According to her, this was a turning point that made her suspect deeper financial discrepancies within the record label’s operations.

As tensions escalated, Judikay engaged legal representatives to demand an audit, yet EeZee Conceptz’s lawyers allegedly responded by claiming that she had no legal right to such a request, contradicting the terms of their initial agreement. Left with no other option, she sought intervention from a government agency in early 2024. However, upon the advice of renowned cleric Apostle Anselm Madubuko, she chose to suspend the case, hoping for a peaceful resolution. During a conciliatory meeting arranged by the clergyman, EeZee Tee reportedly agreed to an independent audit, but despite this agreement, the label allegedly failed to provide the necessary financial records and instead continued to control the public narrative in a manner that was misleading.

A key moment in this dispute occurred when EeZee Conceptz shared a video on social media, purportedly showing Judikay in a meeting with EeZee Tee in 2024. However, she has now refuted this claim, stating that the video was actually recorded in 2023 during an earlier closure meeting. She maintains that she has not met with EeZee Tee since the termination of her contract in February 2024, making the circulated video an attempt to mislead the public.

Amidst the controversy, Judikay revealed that her audit team formally requested financial documents from EeZee Conceptz on June 6, 2024, but despite the label’s lawyers acknowledging receipt of the request on June 7, 2024, they failed to provide any further response. This silence and refusal to cooperate have intensified concerns about possible financial misconduct within the label.

The gospel music industry has been thrown into a heated debate over these revelations, with fans and industry stakeholders expressing mixed reactions. While some believe that EeZee Conceptz should be held accountable, others argue that the public nature of these disputes is damaging to the gospel music scene. The controversy has also sparked discussions about the need for better contractual transparency and financial accountability in the industry, particularly in gospel music, where trust and integrity are expected to be upheld.

Judikay has now decided to step away from the ongoing dispute, stating that although justice is essential, her greater priority is protecting the reputation of the gospel ministry and staying committed to her mission of spreading the gospel through music. She expressed gratitude to her supporters, family, and the gospel music community for standing by her during this turbulent period.

This unfolding drama has left many wondering about the deeper implications for other artists under EeZee Conceptz and similar gospel music labels. As more details emerge, the big question remains: Will EeZee Tee finally break his silence and address these allegations, or will more gospel artists come forward with similar grievances? The controversy continues to grip the gospel music industry, with many watching closely to see how this dispute will ultimately unfold.
