Singer sued by record label for 'breach of contract'

According to reports circulating online, singer Zeez is currently in a legal battle with his record label HF Music.

According to a document which was mailed to Pulse and attached in the gallery above, HF Music had indeed filed a lawsuit against Zeez following his inability to meet his obligations as outlined in his contract for some time, and rumour has it that it was an uphill task for the label to get him into the studio to even record the 6 track EP which was released last year November.

"Zeez acts more like a model than a recording artist due to lack of focus, dedication and commitment to his craft. "It sometimes appear as though he has lost the drive and is simply wasting the label's time and resources.  A one-page apology letter he wrote to the label earlier in the year in which he admitted to gross misconduct testifies to this fact," A source close to HF Music  disclosed.

Our investigations further revealed that Zeez has been truly served the court processes, including the motion for injunction to restrain him from performing at shows and engaging in music-related business with other persons or organisations in violation of his contract with HF Music.

A few weeks ago, Zeez was billed to host a show in Houston, U.S.A. However, the organizers in USA received a letter from the law firm representing HF Music, the record label Zeez is currently signed to, informing them that Kingsley Elikpo, a.k.a Zeez, has a case currently pending in court, instituted against him by his label for breach of contract.

In the letter, the record label urged the organizers of the show not to allow itself to be used to flout the authority of the court by allowing Zeez to perform at their show; warning that their involvement in the illegality would render them liable for luring Zeez to breach his contract with HF Music, and that they should desist from such action.
