Runtown, the Nigerian singer, has reacted to a recent court ruling that upheld his recording contract with Eric Many Limited, accusing the label’s founder of misleading the public with what he called “fake court orders”.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court had ruled
that the singer’s 2016 recording agreement with the label remained valid and
had not been lawfully terminated.
The court also ordered Runtown to fulfil his contractual
obligations and pay over N319 million in damages, recoupment, and costs for
breaches.
However, in an X post, the singer pushed back against the
ruling and made it clear he would not grant the label access to his music
catalogue.

“Back outside! So not going to let any agenda run …Mr Dilly,

Keep trying,” he wrote.
The dispute between Runtown, Eric Many and Umenyiora dates
back to 2016 after the singer sought to exit the contract.
Eric Many had accused the artiste of accepting performance
bookings, releasing music and planning international tours without the label’s
approval, triggering multiple legal proceedings in Nigeria and the United
States.
