Runtown has been embroiled in another lawsuit. This time around, he is being sued for N14.3m by an association called , Dynamic Minds League. The reason behind the lawsuit is that he failed to perform at their New Year’s Day carnival.
The league is charging him with breach of contract after he failed to show up at the carnival which was to hold on the 1st of January 2016 in Anambra State.
A deposit sum of 800,000 was paid to his record label Eric Many Entertainment while the balance was to be paid after the event.
The matter was filed before a High Court of Lagos state with the group claiming to have lost money as they had printed fliers and spent money on promoting the show. Also included is the money spent on booking flights and accommodation for the artiste and his manager.
‘Due to the absence of Runtown, the association lost millions of naira in expected profit and severe damage to its reputation which has a grave impact on the association’s ability to stage events, attract patrons and compete with rival carnival/show organizers in Anambra State and environs,’ their argument reads.
The suit was however adjourned till January 2017 for further hearing.
2016 has certainly had its fair share of trouble for Runtown as he was earlier sued by his own record label this year for non remittance of monies paid to him from performances.
