As media outlets lit up with various reports about John Blaq leaving his previous management over money issues and mismanagement, it’s now revealed that he and his lawyer are fighting to regain back control of his social media accounts.
The record label which John Blaq belongs to is actually managed by his own brothers Kalobe Kenneth and Norman Kitti but it seems their relationship has sunk and the three are no longer seeing eye to eye.
According to Blaq’s lawyer Obam Andrew, John Blaq together with his brothers formed the record company, Black Records where he himself has 20 percent of shares.
John Blaq’s lawyer revealed that the ‘Obubadi’ singer had been disrespected and cheated by his own partners over time citing that they had taken steps further to remove his name as a signatory to their joint account and robbed him of Shs70m.
According to reports by Matooke Republic, the lawyer also revealed that the partners refused John Blaq access to his car, including his social media pages that is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Distrokid respectively.
The lawyer representing John Blaq only wants the management to give them back access to his social media accounts
Obam Andrew has clearly stated that he only wants his client to regain back control over his social media accounts, and he’s not concerned about 70 million shillings that were mishandled. As long as the partners return the login details, they will be willing to part ways peacefully.
Obam also denied all reports circulating around media about his client having had an affair with one of his manager’s wife, saying that its the reason behind the current bitter split.
“That is a false made-up story that is aimed at painting a bad image of John Blaq and hide their misgivings,” Obam said in a phone interview according to Matooke Republic.
Apart from the Tukwatagane singer, music artists like Irene Ntale and Fille Mutoni have also had similar experiences with their managements denying them control over their social media profiles over misunderstandings.
It’s quite sad that record companies, including other music artist management agencies are still undertaking such acts against Ugandan singers yet that’s totally wrong.
What’s your say on this? Should managements deny music artist’s access to their accounts even after they leave on bad terms? Let us know in the comment section.
