#News : Tinny Entertainment cut off YCee's deal with Sony Africa



Tinny Entertainment, Ycee‘s record label, has terminated the artiste’s deal with Sony Music Africa. The label has released an official statement, putting an end to the license and distribution deal signed between Sony Music Africa and Ycee, which was supposed to help push the artiste’s music globally.
The deal has not been profitable, well, according to Ycee who took to Twitter last year in August 29th to call out Michael Ugwu, the official of Sony Music Africa handling the deal. In Ycee’s tweets, he accused the international brand of ripping off African artistes, claiming that they have been milking him and other African artistes.
Tinny Entertainment dropped an official statement on their website on 3rd of February, stating that they have terminated the deal signed in October 2016 between Ycee and Sony Music Africa on the grounds that Sony is not beneficial to them as promised.
Read statement below;
“We would like to state officially that we terminated our contract with SONY through our lawyers, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, by a letter dated 5 December 2017.
Henceforth, we are the sole owners of the copyright in any and all of our music and can exploit our music on any and every platform.
We have realized that it is best to undertake the distribution of our records by ourselves, as a Record Label and that Made in Nigeria across board, is the only way to be above board.”
As a Label, we are pushing out great music this year starting with “Say Bye Bye,” “I Wish” and our YCEE and Bella Collabo EP, “Late Night Vibrations.”
We thank you for the love!
Signed, Tinny
