QuestionMark Ent vs HarrySong! Words Traded Over Contract Dispute
There has been a silent dispute between HarrySong over his
former (or still contractually bound) label, QuestionMark
entertainment over his contract and signing a new deal with
FiveStar Music.
In a press statement from QuestionMark they categorically
stated that HarrySong is still signed to them, and are
prepared to take legal action against them. See statement
below:
Question Mark Entertainment Incorporated has
observed with dismay the continued dealings of certain
persons and organisations with its recording artist
Harrysong (Real name: Harrison Tare Okiri).
Question Mark Entertainment entered into separate
exclusive music recording, artist management and
music publishing contracts with Harrysong in 2009.
The obligations of parties to the said contracts have
neither lapsed nor have they been fulfilled. The
contracts, along with all attendant rights and liabilities
of the parties thereto, therefore still subsist.
Question Mark is entitled to exclusive ownership of
copyrights to all musical works created by Harrysong
during his contract period. Question Mark is also
contractually the sole agent and manager of said
Harrysong and thus entitled to commissions from all
remunerations received by him or from his employment
in connection with any music industry related activity.
Any and/or all music related dealings with Harrysong
by any person from January 2009 till date may have
violated Question Mark’s rights and Question Mark
advises all record labels, event promoters, broadcast
houses, advertisers, and music marketers etc. to desist
forthwith from all such dealings with Harrysong.
Question Mark will without further recourse, resort to
all lawful means at our disposal for redress.
Sincerely,
Question Mark Entertainment Incorporated
HarrySong who recently signed with FiveStar Music has
not backed down from his stance, and stated (according to
HipHopWorld) that it was all just talk and QuestionMark
were nothing more than trouble makers. “My brother, no
mind them…they are just distractors…I don’t want to say
much on this issue because I am not aware of it in the first
place. This is the handiwork of my detractors and I won’t
join issues with anybody”, he said.
QuestionMark Ent had also been recently involved with a
similar issue with Asa a few years ago.
We patiently await and see how things will progress.
