LagosExplorer reports that EeZee Tee and gospel singer Mercy Chinwo have entered negotiations to resolve their ongoing royalty dispute, marking a major shift in a case that has dominated headlines since the beginning of the year.
The talks follow fresh moves by EeZee Conceptz’s manager to withdraw damaging public accusations and extend an olive branch for peace.
The rift between Mercy Chinwo and her former record label boss escalated earlier this year when the singer took legal action, accusing EeZee Tee of withholding over $345,000 in unpaid royalties. She also demanded damages over defamatory claims made against her during the fallout.
Now, in a major turn of events, EeZee Conceptz’s managing director, Coach Nancy, has publicly retracted her controversial statements about the singer, expressing regret and urging a peaceful resolution. According to insiders, faith leaders and key industry figures are now actively mediating behind the scenes in an effort to prevent the matter from going further in court.
Nancy, who had previously accused Mercy of wrongdoing, admitted her error and offered a public apology, saying she hoped ongoing settlement discussions would be fruitful. This apology appears to be part of a broader effort to de-escalate tensions and reach an out-of-court agreement.
Mercy Chinwo’s fallout with EeZee Tee stems from her exit from the label in 2023, after which both sides became entangled in a bitter dispute over earnings, intellectual property, and contractual obligations. The singer, who has gone on to achieve greater success as an independent artist, has maintained that she simply wants what is rightfully owed to her.
With new signs of dialogue and a possible resolution, observers say the gospel music industry could witness the mending of one of its most high-profile breakups. LagosExplorer will continue to monitor this developing story.
