In November last year, Golden Boy Entertainment filed a suit seeking to stop Tobechukwu Victor Okoh better known as Peruzzi from performing, recording new songs or even featuring in songs of other artists over a record deal that went sour.
Peruzzi who is seen mostly with Davido’s DMW crew members, according to an obtained court document has an existing agreement with GoldenBoy Entertainment.
The record label alleges that while it has fulfilled its obligation under the agreement towards Peruzzi, he has in flagrant violation of the terms of the agreement been going about writing, producing, performing and co-performing other musical works for other entities without the consent of GoldenBoy Entertainment.
Part of the obtained court document read. “GoldenBoy Entertainment has commenced legal proceedings against Peruzzi in suit Suit No: LD2902GCM/2018 at the High Court of Lagos State. Rather than submit to the jurisdiction of the court, Peruzzi has been going about threatening officials of GoldenBoy with violence.
In addition, he has shown so much disdain and disrespect for the judicial process.” It went on to explain that, “as it is now, GoldenBoy has not made any amount whatsoever from its intellectual property rights with respect to all works written, produced, co-produced and performed by Peruzzi since the inception of the agreement.”
Yesterday however, the owner of Golden Boy Entertainment, King Patrick, called out Davido and Perruzzi on Twitter, releasing chats and audio recordings. See below:
14. Fast forward to 11/2019, Peruzzi set up a fake meeting with me to discuss how to pay back what he owes, instead of having the meeting I was ambushed, he threatened to kill me, saying what he owed me is chicken change but he is still yet to pay.— King Patrick 👑 (@Kingpatrickgb) January 15, 2020
