Mercy Chinwo Speaks Out Against Former Manager Over Allegations
Gospel singer Mercy Chinwo has publicly accused her former manager, Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, of orchestrating damaging rumors about her child’s paternity.
Onyedikachukwu, the founder of EeZee Conceptz, previously worked closely with Chinwo under his record label. However, their relationship has soured, with the singer alleging financial exploitation.
She claims that her former manager diverted approximately $345,000 from her digital platforms and event proceeds without transparency or proper remittance of her share.
Although Onyedikachukwu has denied any contractual violations, Chinwo has now accused him of fueling false rumors that fellow gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey fathered her child. Bassey has since taken legal steps, petitioning authorities to investigate those behind the claims.
In an emotional video shared on Instagram, Chinwo detailed the distress she has faced, revealing that she felt unsafe due to Onyedikachukwu’s alleged threats.
“He looked me in the eye and said, ‘I made you who you are, and I will destroy you.’ I became afraid for my life. Things got so bad that I had to relocate from Lagos to Port Harcourt because the environment had become toxic for me,” she said through tears.
The singer also alleged that Onyedikachukwu withheld her royalties for two years and used his influence to manipulate narratives against her.
“One of my biggest offenses was collaborating with Pastor Nathaniel Bassey. Because he dislikes Pastor Nathaniel, he went as far as paying bloggers to spread falsehoods about my son. He even tried to control my relationships with people, insisting I couldn’t associate with certain individuals. And when I questioned him, he resorted to harassment,” she added.
Despite the ongoing controversy, Chinwo remains steadfast, declaring that while Onyedikachukwu may have the support of bloggers, she puts her trust in God.
“The worst he can do is what he is doing now, but I know that truth will always prevail,” she concluded.
