DANCEHALL singer, Madrina formerly addressed as Cynthia Morgan, has penned an open letter to her fans at large, where she insisted that she never lied against her former label boss, Jude Okoye.
Recall that the singer had granted a tell-it-all interview, where she disclosed that she lost everything to Okoye. The interview resulted in the heated controversy between Madrina’s camp and that of her former label and management.
Not long after Madrina made some claims in the interview, her former manager, Joy Tongo who claimed she was the one who introduced the vocalist to Okoye, weighed in.
In her response, she blasted Madrina for “seeking for public sympathy”. She also disclosed that the singer owes her $30,000 and Okoye N40 million. Just when everyone thought that would be all, she later shared a copy of the contract Madrina signed with Okoye’s record label.
Tongo’s revelation however triggered fans slamming the singer, whom they said had filled the media space with series of lies.
Reacting to the development, Madrina in her open letter insisted that she didn’t lie. According to her, she only shared her story “as it happened from my own point of view.”
In a surprised turn of event, Madrina expressed gratitude to Okoye and Tongo, as she admitted that she could have done some things differently, rather than leave them unresolved.
The letter reads: “I, Cynthia Morgan, would like to use this platform to appreciate all the love, well wishes and support from everyone showing love to me, my health and my well being.
“A huge appreciation to Upfront With Sandra whose platform my story was told.
“Appreciation goes out to Davido for reaching out and other brands who reached out.
“A lot has happened in the past. I erred, other parties involved had their fair share of blame, but we all make mistakes. I was younger and new in the industry and in retrospect, some things could have been done differently instead of left unresolved.
“However in telling my story, I have not lied but only shared my story as it happened from my own point of view.
“Also i allowed the hurt & pain from past dealings take over my emotions but moving on, I appreciate everyone clamoring for my return both online and offline. I’m also asking Cynthia Morgan fans all over the world for understanding and patience on the new journey we are about to embark on.
“I won’t take this new opportunity for granted.
“My heartfelt appreciation once again goes to JUDE and JOY. It is the pain speaking, not Cynthia. Thanks for giving me the platform to grow the Cynthia Morgan brand.
“I have learnt the importance of opening up and sharing when one is going through challenges in life as mine is a testament of this.
“Appreciation to all media houses and blogs. Thanks for your support and allow me formally introduce THE MADRINA to the world.”
Will this open letter put the ongoing controversy to rest?
