Popular Nigerian artiste, Harrison Okiri, popularly known as Harrysong, has asked record label owners to stop the do or die attitude towards artistes on their platforms.
He revealed that he was also bullied and would have died when he was with his former label, Five star, Music.
Harrysong, taking to his Instagram story on Monday, said, “If not for the grace of God, with the help of some very good men, I would’ve died in the hands of my former label”.
“The torment, attacks, abuses and operations back to back, just because I’ve served and wanted to move out and grow a little for myself. It was hell for me.”
“The general public believed everything they said about me then. Fans, supporters, show promoters bullying me everywhere. In fact, one of my friends said he will buy drinks, celebrate, if I die of hunger and depression.”
“I’m alive today just for the few that stood by me, cus they know the true story and refused to be influenced by lies just to kill an innicent man.”
“Record labels should stop this do or die thing, killing and destroying young talents just because they want to prove label power and supremacy.”
Harrysong said this while reacting to the death of the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, who died on September 12 at the age of 27.
