READ] : Vector at war with his record label, YSG. Arrested twice by his label

[
One of Nigeria's foremost rappers Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly
known as Vector Tha Viper is currently at war with his label, YSG Ent
- recently discovered to be a division Young Shall Grow Motors
company, led by Obiora Obianodo,  the first son of Chief Vincent
Obianodo, the MD of Young Shall Grow Motors Ltd.

The disagreement between Vector and his label started a few months
back after the rapper complained about his progress-rate and the
label's nonchalant attitude towards his career and simply suggested
more professional hands be employed to help his career, which the
label took as a threat, and when they refused to heed to his
suggestions, Vector hired hands he was paying personally.


He has been with the label for over four years and never asked to
leave, all he asked for according to his camp was more work and
results. Things actually got worse after Vector took a self-sponsored
vacation to the US and returned to his record boss' anger, claiming he
went to the States to sign a record deal. Continue...


Weeks after, Vector received and invitation letter from the
Commissioner of Police of Lagos state and was summoned to the Area-E
command (Festac). On getting there, he was presented with a "breach of
contract" petition, claiming that he has engaged external hands to
work for him. His parents got involved (as his dad is a retired police
officer), and it was settled amicably.

Feeling unsafe and threatened, Vector surrendered the car and
apartment provided for him by the label and acquired a replacement for
himself. Thinking this was over, Vector went about his daily life (as
lawyers were already handling the case) till the 10th of June. He was
to be shooting his scene of the Ghetto RMX video by Shank, at his
childhood neighbourhood (Mcarthy Barracks, Obalende, Lagos), when men
of the police force came to seize him and his personal manager
(Michael Umoru) and took them all the way back to Festac, this time it
was a proper arrest and they were detained from 3pm till 10pm when his
lawyers came through.

According to sources close to Vector, he has been receiving series of
personal threats from the label, and he hasn't felt so safe and really
did not want to talk to the press about it.

Just yesterday, his twitter account(@vectorYSG) with over 100,000
followers suddenly disappeared, and has been confirmed to be
deactivated by his label.

Vectors manager says a new twitter handle @VECTORTHAVIPER has been
activated and is now his artistes official handle, alongside the
launch of his official Website www.vectorthaviper.com. As at the time
of compiling this report, efforts to reach his record label has been
abortive.
