One of the pathetic gists making rounds in the music industry is how MTN Project Fame season 2 winner, Mike Anyasodo otherwise known as iMike parted ways with his record label, August Pee owned by H-Man. According to the information gathered by Julia Blaise Blog (JBB), the straw that broke the camels back and actually triggered an irreconcilable differences is the giant telecommunication company, MTN endorsement contract which iMike signed recently without the consent if his record label, August Pee.





According to insider sources, iMike signed with the record label on March 28, 2013. Before signing the contract, he demanded that August Pee give him a car and house, which was not agreed on as he got an accommodation and a car.

However, touble started when iMike went for a show without following the due process of going through his label, after which he allegedly disappeared for two weeks and stopped any contact with his label. He returned and was accepted by H-Man without much ado.

It was equally disclosed that when it was rumoured months back that iMike will be among other Project Fame winners that will endorse products of MTN this season, the singer planned to abscond from the label. Eventually, he signed the contract behind H-Man.

All efforts to settle the breach contract disagreement have failed as H-Man whose wife put to bed two weeks back is seeking legal justice. He is said to have written to both iMike and MTN through his Lawyers.

Meanwhile, we spoke with H-Man to ascertain the reality of the story and he confirmed the information saying: "Everybosy in music industry is aware that we signed iMike into our label on March 28, 2013 because we did a massive publicity for it. Afterwards, we released his single entitled, Adaure and shot a video for it immediately.

Meanwhile, when we were signing the contract iMike said we should give him a car and house. Well, we told him that we don't give people fish but teach them how to fish. So, I offered my place for him to stay and he joined me with another artiste in our label, Flash.

Eventually, I wanted to relocate my family from Abuja to Lagos, because despite that she will be due in July, I discovered that my moving from Lagos to Abuja all time is putting my job online because anytime that I am not around, my guys will stop working. So I decided to bring my family to Lagos so that I will focus with my job. So, I told Mike and Flash to look for somewhere to manage temporarily till we get an accommodation for them, or stay with my partner. Flash agreed to stay with my partner, but Mike said he has a place to stay in Lekki.

He left and told people that I kicked him out of the house, I was crossed because such a thing never happened.

At a time when I noticed change of attitude in Mike, I gave him a copy of our contract to look at and know if there is anything that I am not doing well, so that we will discuss it. Immediately he got the copy of contract, he disappeared with it.

I visited him in Lekki weeks back, he said he didn't have anything on him, I gave him some money. Few weeks later, I saw him with pictures of his endorsement, I asked him if has signed the contract with MTN without letting us know, he said no, but someone told me on the same that he has signed the contract.

Few days later, he called me and said, 'bros I have signed the deal o! I said which deal? He said, 'Glo now.' I asked him how much? He said, N6million, but someone told me immediately that it was N16million.

I tried to get Mike to understand the implication of what he has done, he stopped picking my calls and replying my message, instead he was busy telling people that we didn't sign any contract with him, but loaned him.

So I got my Lawyer to write him. They came for in-house settlement, but Mike lied that he did not sign a contract with us, and that he is on loan. He later noticed that was not working, he now said we promised him N5million and a house, which he has not gotten, that is also false because such thing is not in our contract with him.

Since we cannot reach at any agreement, my Lawyer wrote them again and by next week MTN will get our court paper too. I am suing for copyright infringement because they are already using our song. I am not fighting for the money, but for my right to that song and my contract that is being breached.

However, sources close to Mike disclosed that he is still insisting that August Pee is owing him the sum of N5million and a house.
