Efe Omoregbe, former manager of Nigerian singer 2baba, has weighed in on the dispute between Mercy Chinwo, Judi Kay, and their former manager, Eezee Conceptz.
Omoregbe, who was part of the mediation meeting, shared his insights on social media. He stated that traditionally, record labels own master rights.
According to Omoregbe, if an artist wants to acquire these rights, they must conduct a valuation of their catalogue, make an offer to the label, and negotiate a fair agreement.
He emphasized that forcing a label to relinquish master rights is not in line with global industry practices.
Omoregbe concluded that the issue can be resolved professionally and amicably through negotiation.
