Popular singer, kenedilichukwu Ijemba, otherwise known as Humblesmith, has settled his rift with his former record label boss, Bob Kelly Ovie Williams.
Some months ago, the music star who won the heart of music enthusiasts with his hit song Osinachi, in which he remixed and featured Davido, announced his departure from N-Tyze Entertainment with a statement he shared on his social media pages.
Humblesmith, in his statement, revealed that some of the instances that led to his departure, include -improper documentation, and mismanagement of funds.
Following his departure from the record label, Ntyze Entertainment dragged the singer to court over breach of contract.
Barrister Keshi Elvis, the label’s lawyer, at the time, said Humblesmith’s contract with the record company was yet to expire, as he warned stakeholders in the entertainment industry against working with the singer.
“Pending the determination of the suit, anyone, corporate or individual that engages, transacts and or contract Mr Ijemba Ekenedirichukwu (Humblesmith) to perform does so at their detriment as such act may be caught up in a legal web,” a statement quoted Elvis as saying.
However, during a birthday party celebration of the CEO of N-Tyze Entertainment, Humblesmith said he and the music executive have put their differences behind.
While stating that his exit from the record label was amicable, Humblesmith maintained that N-Tyze Entertainment will ever be his family.
Humblesmith’s words: “N Tyze Entertainment isn’t just a record label to me but family, Bob Kelly was a huge instrument in my stardom story and I’ll continue to give him the accolades for that.
“There’s time for everything and I feel now is the time when I take my story to the next level. I’m happy we were able to settle this peacefully, all glory to God almighty, what God can not do does not exist.
“Thank you so much to my NTyze Family and to Bob Kelly, I’m grateful. Big thanks to my team. You all should continue to watch out for Showboy because I have a lot in the bag for you guys.”
On his part, Williams described his working relationship with Humblesmith, as he wished him well in his future endeavours.
“Working with Humblesmith was a thrilling experience even though we had to disagree to agree a couple of times which is pretty normal in every working relationship.
“We all know getting into Stardom in the Nigerian entertainment industry isn’t child’s play but I am really happy we were able to achieve it together. I wish him success in his future endeavors; Show Boy to the World,” Williams said.
