“9 YEARS LATER? NEVER!” — RUNTOWN EXPLODES, ACCUSES DILLY UMENYIORA OF PUSHING ‘FAKE COURT ORDER’ IN BITTER LABEL WAR
Nigerian music star Runtown has fired back in fiery fashion amid fresh controversy surrounding his long-running battle with Eric Many Records boss, Dilly Umenyiora and he’s not holding anything back.
In a blunt and defiant outburst, the “Mad Over You” crooner tore into claims that a court ruling has reaffirmed his old recording deal, branding the entire narrative as questionable and outright suspicious.
“You think after 9 years, I’ll give you passwords and access to my catalogue?” Runtown blasted in a viral post, signaling total rejection of any attempt to reclaim control over his music.
The drama erupted after reports surfaced that a Federal Capital Territory High Court allegedly ruled that his 2016 contract with Eric Many Records remains valid and binding — a development that, if true, could have major implications for ownership and control of his hit-filled catalogue.
But Runtown isn’t buying it.
Behind the scenes, industry watchers say the dispute has been simmering for nearly a decade, with accusations, legal tussles, and power plays defining one of the Nigerian music industry’s most stubborn standoffs.
Now, with talk of court orders and catalogue access back in the spotlight, the battle lines appear more sharply drawn than ever.
Is this a legitimate legal victory for the label — or a desperate move in a fading fight?
One thing is clear: Runtown is not backing down… and this war is far from over.
