Kiss Daniel vs G-Worldwide: Lawyers to Kiss Daniel Release Press Statement
Kiss Daniel’s lawyers have divulged more startling and shocking details about the ongoing case between popular Nigerian singer, Kiss Daniel and his label G-Worldwide.
According to information made available by the management of G-Worldwide Entertainment Limited, Kiss Daniel signed a yet to expire 7-year recording and artiste management contract with the label in 2013 but has since breached the deal with a series of actions contrary to the provisions of the contract.
However,’L & A Legal consultants’ revealed information about Kiss Daniel’s contract and the terms activated by the singer before the contract was terminated. They said the contract termination was not only in obedience to law and the contract between the parties but also a self-defense by Kiss Daniel to prevent “baboon dey work, monkey dey chop”.
See the statement released by the lawyers :
“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 his fault that the contract has a termination clause that allows him 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 he 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. This case is a well thought out act. It is an exercise of the right granted to him by the contract between him and his label. What do people want from Nigerian artist?
Why is G-Worldwide afraid to grant him unrestricted access to his account and books as provided by the contract? The whole relationship between a record label and an artist is about making money and sharing it. Finance and money is the crux of the matter. G-Worldwide did not sign Kiss Daniel because they love his face. They signed him because they think he can make money for them. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as they play by the rules. The only offence commented by him 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 hid project as provided by the contract between the parties. Immediately the request was made, all hell was let loose. Why will a Record Label be afraid to allow their Artist to inspect their books of record? Especially, when the contract between the parties was drafted by the same record label and the contract contains a clause which specifically provided that the Record Label shall keep all accounts and shall allow the Artist or his representative unrestricted access to inspect and make copies of the records”.
