It is already an established fact that petite
singer, Chidinma Ekile has called it quits with
Capital Hills Records but the factor that led
to the move has remained a mystery to
many.Midgepblog can authoritatively reveal
that the KORA award-winning singer left
after a fallout with the label executives on a
proposed new sharing formula.
Since Chidinma won the coveted MTN
Project Fame Season 2 music competition
about seven years ago, she has been signed
to Capital Hills Records, a label managed by
Clarence Peters and rapper Ill Bliss.
The sharing formula from Chidinma’s
concerts/shows, endorsements and other
sources of revenue generation regarding her
music had been 60:40 until about two years
ago when the singer agitated for a 70:30
ratio, and her request was reluctantly
granted by Clarence and Ill Bliss.
But what eventually became the last straw
that broke the camel’s back was the
beautiful singer’s recent demand for a 90:10
sharing ratio, a proposal that was instantly
rejected by Clarence and Ill Bliss.
While agitating for the 90:10 ratios, Chidinma
insisted that she would henceforth take
responsibility for the expenses of her music
videos among other things, limiting Capital
Hills to handle her bookings and other
management responsibilities.
Chidinma’s exit from the label is said to be
giving Ill Bliss more sleepless nights, owing
to the fact that working with the singer is
his major source of income. Clarence on the
other hand is less bothered about the whole
issue, as he is busy shooting different
musical videos.
