Runtown lied about his court victory over Eric Many, Label reacts

Eric Many Entertainment has claimed that pop musician, Runtown, misled the public into thinking he claimed a victory over the record label.

In a statement on Thursday signed by the General Manager of Eric Many Limited, Johnson Adumike, the case between the record label and their former act is still in court.

The statement also explained that Runtown only has a 14-day window to file a defence of the case at the Appeal Court.

“It has come to the knowledge of Eric many Limited that our artiste, Douglas Jack Agu, alias ‘Runtown’, has taken to the social media, especially Twitter and Instagram, celebrating a supposed ‘victory’ in our case in Court. Runtown is telling lies.

“Runtown did not win the case. He has not even filed a defence. His lawyers only challenged the jurisdiction of the Court, claiming that the case is supposed to go for arbitration,” the statement read in part.

Born Douglas Jack Agu, Runtown, has been acknowledging congratulatory messages from fans and well-wishers after news broke that he won the case filed against him in March 2018 by Eric Many.

He joined the label in 2014 after the success of his hit single, ‘Gallardo.’

The singer now has his own label called Soundgod Music Group.
