Kiss Daniel Breaks Silence, Reveals Real Reason Why He Dumped His Record Label, G-Worldwide Entertainment
Nigerian singer, Kiss Daniel has come out to explain the real reason why he took the drastic decision to end his deal with his record label
Kiss Daniel who is in a serious legal tussle with his former record
label, G-Worldwide Entertainment has revealed through his legal
representatives why he took the decision to end his romance with the
entertainment outfit.
This comes after a report revealed that Daniel reportedly earned N30,000 as monthly salary even though he was making money for the record label.
In a new twist, the legal representatives of Daniel, L&A Legal
Consultants, revealed that the singer terminated his contract according
to the terms and agreement of the deal after his request for an audit of
the record label’s books was denied.
A statement released by L&A Legal Consultants read in part: “Kiss
Daniel did not walk out of his contract. He only terminated it as he is
permitted to do under the contract. Is it now a sin for a party to
exercise a right expressly conferred on him by law/contract? Is it the
fault of Kiss Daniel that the contract has a termination clause that
allows Kiss Daniel to terminate the contract?
“We should bear in mind that the contract was drafted by
G-Worldwide Entertainment. Kiss Daniel scrupulously followed the
provision of the contract. It is unfortunate that people are mixing this
case up with that of other artists running away from a contract they
signed. No! This is different.
“This is a case of an Artist insisting that the contract signed
by the parties must be obeyed and enforced. Kiss Daniel is firm
believer in rule of law and due process.
“This was why it was Kiss Daniel that went to court first.
People should not confuse a case of properly terminated contract with
cases of ill-advised artists who angrily walked out of their contract
without following the laid down procedure under their contracts.
“Kiss Daniel’s case is a well thought out act. It is an
exercise of right granted to him by the contract between him and his
label. What do people want from Nigerian artist? If they don’t employ
lawyers, people criticize them.
“The only offence commented by Kiss Daniel was his
effrontery/impudence by daring to ask his record label to render
account! Kiss Daniel through his lawyer L & A – Legal Consultant
appointed a firm of Chartered Accountant to inspect and audit
G-Worldwide Entertainments books and account in respect of Kiss Daniel’s
project as provided by the contract between the parties. Immediately
the request was made, all hell was let loose.
“Unfortunately, when the inspection/audit finally held, Kiss
Daniel’s Accountant was denied unrestricted access to the
“books/records” in clear breach of the unambiguous provisions of clause 7
of the Contract (as posted above).
Kiss Daniel’s Accountant were surprised that Label did not come
to the venue of the inspection/audit with any physical books, receipts,
invoices e.t.c. but only brought a mere laptop! And even refused to
allow Kiss Daniel’s Accountant to make a copy of the said
“books/records” contrary to the contract. It was also discovered that
the representative sent by G-worldwide Entertainment Limited and who
brought the laptop is not an accountant and did not know anything about
the transactions recorded in the laptop. He could not answer any of the
questions/queries posted to him by Kiss Daniel’s Accountant.
“Unfortunately, when Kiss Daniel’s lawyer gave G-worldwide
Entertainments Limited notice of the breach on 11th and 19th of
September 2017, G-worldwide Entertainments Limited failed and refused to
cure and remedy the breach within the 14 days allowed by the contract
and Kiss Daniel was forced to comply with the contract by terminating it
as required by the contract.”
