Renowned entertainment expert and founder of Now Muzik Group, Efe Omorogbe has weighed in on the ongoing dispute between gospel artist Mercy Chinwo and her former label, EeZee Conceptz.

Responding to recent statements by Apostle Anselm Madubuko about his role as mediator in the case, he weighs in as a music industry expert and as an individual present at their last mediation meeting.

Omorogbe, in a video he shared to his Instagram page, revealed he was present at a mediation meeting held on May 13, 2024, between Mercy Chinwo, EeZee Conceptz, Hilda Dokubo, Apostle Anselm Madubuko, Mena Ajakpovi, representatives of Mercy

Chinwo and Judi Kay (their husbands).

He went on to state that the central issue discussed during the meeting was a transfer of master rights for music catalogues.

According to Omorogbe, master rights traditionally reside with record labels and can only be transferred through a negotiated buyout, not through coercion or force.

The meeting, held at the residence of a prominent reverend, included representatives from parties, gospel artist Judikay, EeZee Conceptz?s legal counsel and veteran actress Hilda Dokubo.

Omorogbe stated that he attended the meeting to provide context and share insights on resolving disputes within the industry.

He concluded by saying: ?This is an issue that can be resolved professionally and

amicably. There is no need for compulsion, law enforcement, or undue escalation. Negotiation is the right path to resolve such matters.?

The dispute between Mercy Chinwo, Judi Kay and EeZee Conceptz has sparked significant public interest, with allegations and counter-allegations from both sides regarding financial impropriety, contractual breaches, and ownership of the artist?s music catalogue. (Daily Sun)
