Harrysong was arrested and locked up in Police cell by his estranged label, Five Star Music, owned by E-Money.
He was held at the the Onikan command zone of the state police command. Now we can confirm that he has been released. Details of his condition of release are yet to be made public. Harrysong and his team are currently preparing a statement to address the issue.
Reports had it that Harrysong was arrested by his former record label Five Star Music. The Nigerian singer who departed his Five Star Music acrimoniously in November 2016 has been embroiled in a cold war with the record label over the breach of contract.
New reports say that fight has been escalated after the singer was arrested. Mobile Policemen stormed his house and picked him up on charges of breach of contract, fraud and a number of undisclosed counts.
Harrysong was signed to Fivestar Music as an artiste but he did more than just sing. He was also in charge of song writing, vocal coaching and music directing.
At Five Star Music, he was the king behind the king – Kcee. While Kcee, the ‘Limpopo’ king held sway in the media as the man with the golden hit songs, Harrysong performed the publicly thankless but financially rewarding tasks of songwriting and A&R duties.
The singer cited a lack of appreciation as his reason for departing the record label.
“What bothers me is not the work, what bothers me is the appreciation.” An emotional Harrysong told PlanetTV. “You are helping someone that knows nothing and the person is feeling like he is helping you, he is not even feeling, he is telling you that he is helping you”.
According to sources, Harrysong is still contracted to Five Star Music until 2019. But the singer claims to have exhausted his contract, and is leaving because of the under-appreciation and operating from a position of weakness.
“You write a song for someone and the person is telling you if I don’t sing your song you don’t blow, it’s childishness, it’s……I don’t know” he added.
Harrysong has since set up his music company called AlterPlate, and has released his first single, ‘Samankwe’, under the company.
“We are unveiling a new platform; it’s a music platform not a label, it’s a music company owned by Harrysong. It’s not supposed to be surprising, my contract expired long time ago, no, no, no, no, I’m not renewing”, he said.
In December 2016, Kcee and Harrysong appeared to reconcile at the Headies awards show.
The show which held on December 23, 2016, at the Eko Convention Centre, Eko Hotels & Suites, had the two stars settle their differences and put forward a united front.
All evidence of a beef seemed to have been abandoned and peace achieved. Harrysong’s ‘Reggae Blues’ won the award for Song Of The Year, and Kcee, who collaborated with him on the track climbed the stage to welcome.
“We been dey fight, but it is all settled,” the singer said, as they hugged and accepted the award from presenter Uti Nwachukwu.
The duo later showed up to present the award for Best Recording (Male), which was won by Shaydee.
