Following an exclusive NET report, early today, on inside details of the on-going feud between Chocolate City and one of the label’s former acts Jesse Jagz, the label has, in an email to NET, come out to say
the allegations are untrue.
In a statement signed by CEO Audu Maikori,
Chocolate City says Jagz does not owe them a dime, does not do
marijuana, and never at any time was rude to the label or its
executives.
‘First, the comment that, ‘Choc City
said Jargo owed them money, there were several cases where he would
travel to the North for a gig and wouldn’t bring back anything to the
label’, are claims that are totally unfounded. Chocolate City states
that Jesse Jagz has not and does not owe them any monies from any shows
performances till date.’
Continuing, the label also said ‘the
comment that, ‘Jesse Jagz, a truly talented rapper and producer, is
addicted to Marijuana, is untrue. Chocolate City states categorically
that Jesse Jagz does not have a history of Marijuana abuse neither did
it or any of its staff make any allegations to that effect.’
It’s the first time the label is
speaking out, since Jagz publicly announced he’s leaving the label last
week. Several email and phone enquiries by our editors to the label
executives went unanswered, with multiple sources saying there were
strict instructions not to speak with the media.
The label says: ‘It is untrue that
Jesse Jagz has refused to appear at the Chocolate City Office when
invited. At all material times Jesse and his team have always responded
and communicated with Chocolate City in respect to all matters and
continue to do so.
‘Furthermore, Chocolate City CEO
Audu Maikori never sent a summons to Jesse Jagz nor did he receive any
derogatory email from Jesse Jagz refusing to attend any meetings. What
is even more ludicrous is that Audu Maikori has been in the USA on
official business and as such couldn’t have summoned Jesse for a meeting
when he was abroad. Jesse and Audu have and have always had a cordial
and respectful relationship, a relationship that still exists till
date.’
‘At no time has Jesse Jagz career
been dormant. Stating that Jesse Jagz career has been dormant is a gross
understatement as he has since the release of Jagz of All Trades,
focused on the production aspect of his career working with Brymo and Ice Prince on their respective albums as well as featuring on several songs with various artists’, the statement says, adding that the departed rapper’s sophomore album Jagznation VOl1 will be released this year as scheduled.
‘Finally, we understand the concerns
of fans and well wishers in respect the alleged Jesse Jagz ’war’ with
Chocolate City. Our position is that there is no war within our camp.
Like any relationship, there are ups and downs especially in our type of
business however rest assured that these issues will be resolved and
communicated subsequently.’
