Music star, Runtown, in messy court battle with record label

Nigerian Afropop star, Lagos to Kampala crooner, Douglas Jack Agu famous as Runtown, has been rumored to opt out of the recording contract he has with Eric Manny Entertainment Label over unresolved discor­dance.

The Enugu State born ar­tiste has however, been given an injunction from the Fed­eral High Court, via the lev­ies against him by Eric Manny Entertainment boss, billionaire industrialist Okwudili Umeny­iora, stopping the singer from any form of performance or re­cording pending the time their differences are resolved.

The 26-year-old, on his part, he has spoken out in a let­ter through his lawyers citing undue extortion, threat to life and zero payments for per­formances, royalties and more as reasons he opted out of his contract with the label.

Runtown who signed to the music company in 2014 has re­portedly returned all assets of the management in his posses­sion following the law suit.

In November 2015, the sing­er released the highly received Ghetto University album un­der Eric Manny Entertain­ment. In March, 2016, he shot the video for the hit song Lagos To Kampala featuring Wizkid in Los Angeles. It was directed by ace music director, Sesan Ogunro. He is known for songs like Gallardo, Domot, Banging, Latest and others. He also con­firmed selling the famous Aye song to Davido.
