Latest from Brymo‘s camp in relation to
the ongoing dispute between Chocolate City
Entertainment and former artiste, Brymo
Read below.
“On the 30th of October 2013, a meeting
was held between Brymo, his Management
and representatives of Chocolate City at the
Chocolate City office.
This was one of many prior attempts at
reaching a mutually acceptable resolution
of the conflict between the Artiste and the
Record Label.
After deliberations at the meeting, certain
terms were agreed between the parties and
Chocolate City promised to capture the
terms in an agreement to be signed by both
parties.
A few days later, Chocolate City sent in a
plan with terms which were not reflective
of the deliberations and agreements at the
said meeting. A similar occurrence had
taken place in June when lawyers
representing Chocolate City promised to
hand Brymo a Statement of Release from
the label on the condition that he would
give up his (#SonOfaKapenta) album to the
label.
The artiste had insisted that Chocolate City
has no right to the work as he still
possessed the rights to the work and the
lawyers had failed to provide the release
even after Brymo agreed to give up the
said album.
Please note that the artiste’s initial decision
to release his work/ earnings was done in
good faith and with a desire to reach an
amicable settlement. It is becoming
apparent that Chocolate City is not acting
in the same spirit of good faith.
The artiste elected to sever relationships
with Chocolate City in May 2013 when
Chocolate City consistently failed to fulfill
its obligations under the contract. And
rather than resolve amicably, the label is
devising strategies to ensure that the
Artiste remains unproductive.
Brymo asserts that under the
circumstances of the creation, nature,
execution and implementation of his
contract with Chocolate City, he is well
within his rights as an Artiste and if no
amicable resolution is reached, will be
willing to defend same under the provision
of the Law.”
