Over a year after winning the second season of
Nigerian Idol, singer Mecry Chinwo is yet to be
given her N7.5m recording contract.
'As I speak to you, I'm one-man standing. I am
not in any record label, I am alone. I have to say
the truth. I am not or was never tied to nay
record label', the Port Harcourt-born singer told
Encomium Weekly last week. She however
confirmed receiving the N7.5m cash prize.
Franchise owners of Nigerian Idol, Optima Media
Group (OMG) had announced that the winner of
the talent show would go home with the overall
prize of a recording contract, an SUV and a
mouth-watering cash of prize of $100,000
(N7.5m). The show was sponsored by Etisalat
and Pepsi.
Mercy's case isn't the same with season three
winner Moses Obi-Adigwe who says everything
OMG promised has been delivered. 'Yes I got the
money and my contract, everything is okay',
Moses told Nigerian Entertainment Today in a
telephone chat. The singer says he has received
his N7.5m cash prize and has released three new
singles.
Apparently, Moses' recording contract is with
OMG who recently setup their own label. Moses
says he is more relaxed working with OMG than
any other label as they would 'have time' for him.
