KCee spills on his fallout with Harrysong
Nigerian artist, Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known by his stage name KCee, has provided insight into his rift with Harrysong.
During an interview with the Afrobeats Podcast, KCee disclosed an ongoing legal dispute with Harrysong, accusing him of forging his and his billionaire brother E-Money’s signatures to secure funds from clients.
He highlighted Harrysong’s tendency to engage in conflicts with various individuals, including his wife, music executive Soso Soberekon, and Skibii, suggesting that Harrysong might be facing personal challenges.
KCee emphasized how Harrysong frequently undermined his contributions to their collaborative work, asserting that he was already an established singer before their partnership began. Despite KCee’s continued success in the music industry, he observed Harrysong’s decline in relevance.
“This is about 8 years we went our separate ways. You write the best songs, you said you were writing all my songs, but he was in the village with his grandmother when I won Star Quest. I went to a talent hunt, I won the contest. Na you write the songs, I did 3 albums with Kennis Music, who wrote the songs? I did a lot on myself and you coming to discredit me because you have the privilege to work around me or stay under my umbrella, I felt like I didn’t need to explain. Time will tell.
8 years after I am still popping. Your biggest song is Reggae Blues, recorded by me and Olamide. I took the song to Olamide, he doesn’t have access to him. We all put energy, I even added Iyanya to the song. That’s his biggest record. You are the best writer in the world, your ink finish, write another one.
I think that man is sick, he needs prayers. He is fighting with his wife today, he is fighting with Soso Soberekon tomorrow, then Skibii the next day, that tells you something.
He has a 5years contract running with 5 Stars music, still on as we speak. He has a criminal case running now, forging my signature, and my brother’s signature and collecting money from clients.
That’s a criminal case I have still pending. But I never talked about all this and don’t talk about all this. Because I know him and I loved him so much as a brother, but there is a problem. This isn’t trying to disrespect anybody”.
Last year, Harrysong had called out his former label boss, Kcee over his royalties, calling him a bully.
He appealed to the 5 Star music boss, to refund his money and release his songs and claimed that for over 7 years now, KCee has been collecting 100 percent of his royalties and has taken rights over his songs.
Also recall that in the wake of Mohbad’s death, Harrysong revealed that he would have died in the hands of his former label, if not for the grace of God and the assistance of good men around him.
He narrated how he suffered torment, attacks, abuses, and operations back to back, just because he served and wanted to move on.
Harrysong described his bitter ordeal as ‘hell’, as he noted how the public believed everything that was said about him, and he was bullied by all.
