Vincent Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has announced his intention to investigate serious allegations of fraud, forgery, and the mismanagement of music royalties involving prominent gospel music executive Ezekiel Thankgod, also called Eezee Tee.
This development comes in response to growing accusations leveled against the record label boss by former signees. Over time, several artists affiliated with his label have claimed they were subjected to unfair contract terms, unauthorized alterations to agreements, and financial discrepancies. Among the most vocal critics is Mercy Chinwo, a renowned gospel singer, who has publicly accused Eezee Tee of contract forgery and exploitation.
Initially, VDM stated that he was uninterested in getting involved in the matter. However, after analyzing the available evidence and listening to the claims and counterclaims, he felt compelled to dig deeper. In a statement, he expressed concern that the narrative surrounding the controversy might be manipulated through media influence, hinting at attempts by certain parties to control public perception.
VDM, known for his fearless approach to exposing social issues, emphasized that his investigation would be thorough and independent. “I will go find what I need to find,” he declared, signaling his determination to uncover the truth.
The allegations against Eezee Tee extend beyond just Mercy Chinwo. Other former associates and industry insiders have echoed similar concerns, alleging that the record label operated in ways that disadvantaged its artists. Some have accused Eezee Tee of withholding earnings, imposing restrictive contracts, and using intimidation tactics to maintain control over their careers.
While Eezee Tee has yet to issue a detailed public response to these claims, supporters argue that his label has played a crucial role in uplifting gospel artists in Nigeria, providing them with exposure and career-building opportunities. They maintain that contractual disputes are common in the music industry and that not all allegations should be taken at face value.
As the controversy continues to unfold, VDM’s involvement is expected to intensify scrutiny on Eezee Tee’s business practices. His past investigative efforts have led to major revelations in other cases, and many believe his findings could shed light on the broader issue of artist exploitation in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
More details are likely to emerge as the investigation progresses, with many in the music community closely watching how the situation develops.
