The ongoing feud between celebrated gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her former manager, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, popularly known as Eezeetee, has taken a disturbing turn. In a shocking revelation, Mercy Chinwo has accused Eezeetee of launching a relentless campaign of threats, intimidation, and defamation against her.
In an emotional and deeply unsettling video posted on her Instagram page, the award-winning gospel minister detailed the harrowing ordeal she has endured since parting ways with her ex-manager. According to Chinwo, Eezeetee has been on a vindictive mission to ruin her career, tarnish her reputation, and even endanger her safety.
"I Had to Flee for My Life" – Mercy Chinwo Speaks Out
With a visibly distressed expression, Mercy Chinwo revealed that she was forced to leave Lagos and relocate to Port Harcourt due to the unbearable conditions created by Eezeetee’s alleged actions. She accused him of creating a toxic and hostile environment, making it impossible for her to continue living and working in peace.
The gospel star described how she suffered persistent bullying, harassment, and death threats at the hands of her former manager, painting a grim picture of the emotional and psychological toll the ordeal has taken on her.
“I endured endless torment. I was constantly harassed and threatened. It became impossible for me to function, so I had to run for my life.”
Twisting the Truth: Chinwo Exposes Eezeetee’s Alleged Lies
Mercy Chinwo also set the record straight regarding claims that she dragged Eezeetee to court. Contrary to his narrative, she revealed that it was actually Eezeetee who initiated legal action against her and fellow gospel artist Minister Judikay.
According to Chinwo, Eezeetee used his influence and connections to manipulate the situation and spread misleading stories that painted her as the villain.
“People don’t know the full story. They hear one side and believe lies. But the truth is that he took me to court, not the other way around.”
A Shocking Revelation: A 12-Year Contract That Could Have Ruined Her
One of the most startling revelations in Mercy Chinwo’s video was that Eezeetee allegedly tried to force her into signing a 12-year contract, a move that would have effectively controlled her music, finances, and personal decisions for over a decade.
When she refused to sign the oppressive deal, their relationship quickly soured, leading to a bitter fallout. Chinwo alleged that this refusal infuriated Eezeetee, pushing him to retaliate with a series of coordinated attacks on her career and personal life.
“He wanted to own me. To keep me under his control for 12 years. When I refused, he turned against me.”
Connections, Threats, and A Campaign of Destruction
Taking her claims even further, Mercy Chinwo accused Eezeetee of boasting about his powerful connections and openly threatening to use them against her. She alleged that he has been sponsoring negative press, fabricating damaging stories, and even questioning the paternity of her child in a desperate bid to destroy her reputation.
She also linked his alleged vindictiveness to his previous conflicts with renowned gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey and popular pastor Jerry Eze, implying that Eezeetee has a pattern of falling out with influential figures in the gospel industry.
“He has a history of doing this to others. I am just the latest victim in his destructive pattern.”
A $600,000 Scandal: The Missing Royalties
The scandal took a financial turn when Mercy Chinwo revealed that her former manager allegedly diverted over $600,000 in royalties—earnings that rightfully belonged to her.
She accused Eezeetee of fraudulently mismanaging her finances, withholding funds, and ensuring that she never received what she was owed. This financial betrayal, according to Chinwo, is at the heart of the legal battle between them.
Despite these serious allegations, Eezeetee has continued to deny any wrongdoing, insisting that the matter should be resolved in court.
Mercy Chinwo's Emotional Plea: "The Burden is Too Heavy"
In the Instagram video, Mercy Chinwo shared a lengthy and heartbreaking caption, describing the overwhelming sorrow and betrayal she feels.
“I am overwhelmed with sadness every single day, and I cannot even explain it all. This burden is too heavy for me to bear. People call me names, accuse me unjustly, and paint me as someone I am not. They say I broke a contract I never did, despite all the frustration. They label me as something I could never be. But I know the truth, and I know my God sees all. He is the God of justice, and He must arise for my sake!”
She ended her statement with a powerful scripture:
‘The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth. Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.’
The Bigger Picture: A Troubling Trend in the Gospel Music Industry
The shocking details of Mercy Chinwo’s ordeal shed light on a larger, troubling pattern within the Nigerian gospel music industry. While disputes between record labels and artists are common in the secular music world, it is becoming increasingly evident that the gospel industry is not immune to similar exploitation, betrayal, and power struggles.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers artists face when dealing with powerful industry figures, even in the faith-based music sector.
As the battle between Mercy Chinwo and Eezeetee rages on, one question remains: Will justice prevail, or will the gospel star continue to fight against the odds in a system seemingly stacked against her?
Final Thoughts: A Call for Justice
Mercy Chinwo’s revelations have sparked widespread concern and debate within the gospel music community. Fans and fellow gospel artists alike are rallying behind her, demanding accountability and justice.
The battle is far from over, but one thing is clear: the world is watching. The truth will eventually come to light, and those responsible for any wrongdoing will have to face the consequences.
