In a long post on her Instagram page, her solicitors noted that the singer would have preferred to keep quiet about the whole issue, but the falsehood being circulated made her release her statement.
In the message, it was alleged that things turned around in her relationship with her manager in 2019 when she refused to extend her contract with him.

She disclosed that he wanted her to extend her contract from five years to 12 years. Chinwo made an attempt to settle issues, but things allegedly degenerated after that.
By her fourth year with Eezeetee, things were allegedly toxic. She had to allegedly endure untold verbal abuse and emotional assaults.
The gospel singer, who marked her wedding anniversary months ago, claimed that words like “I will mess you up”, “I will deal with you”. “I can shut you up and no one will hear you again” were allegedly used on her.
Mercy Chinwo says Eezeetee lied
Also in the post, the Wonder crooner disclosed that her manager continued to isolate her and allegedly prevented people from inviting her for programs. She gave an instance where the manager allegedly lied that she had a terminal aliment, and she couldn’t attend a singing engagement.
When she heard about it, she insisted on going, and the organisers provided an ambulance to meet her at the airport before they discovered she was not sick.
Mercy Chinwo denies suing manager
Stating further, Chinwo said she was not the one that sued Eezeetee, but her manager sued her another gospel singer Judikay separated.
A few people including Apostle Anselm Madubuko tried to intervene in the case and to settle things amicably. However, Eezeetee allegedly pulled out and refused to comply with directives.
Mercy Chinwo also added that after EFCC’s investigation, it was discovered that Eezeetee had allegedly diverted the sum of UDS 274,000 from digital platform revenues.
