The release of Nigerian pop singer, Harrysong

Pop singer Harrison Tare Okiri popularly called Harrysong 
was reportedly arrested yesterday in Lagos, by men 
of the Nigeria Police Force in connection with the 
lingering face off between him and his former management,Five Star Music owned by Kcee and his 
younger brother, e-money.

According to reports, Harrysong was picked up by
 mobile policemen yesterday morning at his residence.

He was said to have been arrested for alleged breach 
of contract, fraud among other issues.

at press time, the “Better Pikin” crooner could not
be reached as his cell phone was switched off. But 
his publicist, Desmond Ika who was unable to write anything good on Saturday when ERIC GOSSIP reached him through email and he promised to get back to us. He never did. But a  source later confirmed and told us on whatsapp  that he has been released.

Meanwhile, the, Acting Public Relation Officer, Lagos State Police, ASP Famous-Cole Olarinde said, they 
were not aware of the arrest.

It would be recalled that, the Delta State-born singer 
who announced his exit from Five Star Music last 
November, to set up his own record label, Alterplate, 
has been embroiled in a cold war with the record label
 over the breach of contract. But Harrysong severally 
had denied, having any issues with his former label owners, claiming that the quest to express himself in a new
 platform informed his decision to part ways with his 
former management.

Speaking after he parted ways with the label, Harrysong
 said, “My contract with Five Star Music has expired and
 I decided to unveil my own record label. I have learned 
a lot after I left Question Mark, the first record label I 
worked with before I moved to Five Star Music. And when
 the contract expired, I aspired to grow and to express 
myself in another platform.

That’s why I set up the Alterplate and you would see that
 it is not just a record label, but also a lot of things. This
 is a Dream I have nurtured for many years now. I am
 very grateful to God that it has become a reality.”

Explaining further, the “Better Pikin” crooner said, I will 
always respect Five Star Music where I learnt the ropes. 

I can still do some stuffs for them such as writing songs or anything they want me to do for them but still be their main Artiste is what i can't do, 

I have already made up my mind to leave the label, and i have my own label to start up with.
