Nigerian music producer and songwriter, Oluwaseyi Akerele better known as Shizzi, has announced the cancelation of his publishing deal with Sony Music claiming he was ill advised to sign the deal in the first place.
This is coming days after he called out his manager, Efe Ogbeni, for blocking his attempt to terminate his contract with Sony Music.
The music producer took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to accuse Efe Ogbeni of keeping him in an ‘archaic MDRC deal’ with the Sony Music Publishing for six years.
Shizzi claimed he was ill-advised to sign the contract because Ogbeni never gave him the liberty to choose his own lawyer to properly scrutinise the terms of the contract back in 2016.
“As of late last year, SonyATV said they were going to let me go only if he agrees with terms of termination,” he had said on Tuesday.

However, on Friday, he announced on his Instagram page that the controversial contract has officially ended.
“I am extremely blessed and thankful that I’ve achieved my goal and I’m moving on to the next stage in my career,” he wrote. “I’m happy to announce that my contract has officially ENDED!!!”
“I want to thank my team for representing me over the years in the best possible way through this whole journey. I couldn’t do this without my family, my wife! I want to thank everyone else for their support and well wishes.
“Never stop believing in the true value of yourself, and don’t ever let ANYONE take charge of your destiny, It’s God given and I’m just getting started,” he wrote.
