The feud between Kcee and his former label mate, Harrysong, just got messier.
On Wednesday, Harrysong posted a court document showing that Kcee has
dragged him to court for violating his fundamental human right. The
next day in an interview, his manager said Kcee filed that lawsuit
because his career was dead.
In a new report by CAP on the run, Kcee is venting his anger that Harrysong is so
ungrateful! The Limpopo singer claimed that Harrysong had no visa on his
passport before he came on board, adding that his record label helped
to build his self-confidence.
“When Harrysong was with us, we paid for his video shoots. He never
travelled with his money and I am saying that with all confidence. I
challenge him to contradict what I am saying.
When I met Harrysong, he had no visa on his passport. We gave him his
visas. He travelled business class even when he had yet to release any
song under Five Star. He started travelling business class locally and
internationally just to build self-esteem and confidence.
We did all that because we wanted him to live like a king as a Five
Star artiste. He travelled on a five star level. He shot all his videos
internationally and I can show you all the invoices. Most of his videos
were shot abroad.”
Warned his former label mate to tread carefully as he had enough
evidence to nail him, Kcee said he found it laughable for anyone to say
that his career is dead without Harrysong. According to him, he had
remained in the Nigerian music industry for over a decade.
He was quick to remind his critics that he won Star Quest with his
former singing partner, Presh, without Harrysong’s help. Kcee said that
he later went on to sign with Kennis Music where he released three
albums with numerous hits without Harrysong’s input.
“Harrysong knows the situation and the condition that he is and I just hope he would be careful. He needs to be careful.
Harrysong never influenced our sound; instead we polished his sound
and we added more groove to it. Harrysong is talented but he needs
guidance.
For me, I have my own weaknesses and he also has his element. I
started as a DJ and I know what the people want and I direct his music.
If you ask most of our producers, I changed the direction of his song,
Better Pikin.
He sometimes advised in my song; we had a collaborative
relationship.. When you work as a team, it does not mean you own
everybody; you cannot just write somebody off.
Can you think back to 2002 when I won Star Quest, it was a talent
hunt, we wrote songs to win the contest. Asa was part of it. Nigga Raw,
Klint The Drunk, The Natives, and a lot of young talents were there, we
went through that and won.
Asa was crying when she lost and her father was consoling her, I saw
her. Nobody gave us a chance during the contest. I won Star Quest and I
was signed under Kennis Music where I recorded about three albums with
them; who was writing my songs then?
I recorded hit songs. Now Harrysong is gone and I am due to release
my album, who wrote the songs on my album for me? I need some credit.
Because you bring in one or two inputs does not mean you should look
down on anybody, it is wrong. We are all human and I deserve some
credit. I have been in this industry for a while,” he said.
