Don’t Complain Of Being Cheated After Willingly Signing Contracts - Eldee

In what appears to be a response to allegations leveled against music executive Jude Okoye, Nigerian singer, Eldee, has advised singers not to complain about being cheated after willingly signing a contract.

AllNews reports that days ago, Cynthia Morgan held Okoye responsible for her career misfortune.

However, in a series of tweets on Monday, Eldee said that singers should renegotiate if terms of contracts are no longer favourable.

He advised them to get lawyers who would interpret the contract terms if they find them incomprehensible.

Eldee's tweets read: “Don't willingly sign a contract & then turn around a while later to complain about how you're being "cheated". If the terms are no longer favorable, renegotiate, but remember that your partner also reserves the right to accept the new terms.

“You can't sign a financial agreement and expect to change the terms halfway into the deal, unless that option/clause exists in the agreement to begin with.

Don't willingly sign a contract & then turn around a while later to complain about how you're being "cheated".

If the terms are no longer favorable, renegotiate, but remember that your partner also reserves the right to accept the new terms.

“This idea that it is ok or permissible not to honor contracts/agreements that were made simply because you now feel different or feel more valuable to the partnership is dangerous to any ecosystem that seeks growth.

“It's really easy to get carried away with emotions, emotions that are based mostly on he said she said. We are doing more harm than good to the industry whenever we support rhetorics that suggest unfairness, especially when the agreements were made under no form of duress.

“If a company offers you a shit deal, DO NOT sign it. Once you decide to sign it, you have to honor it. Not doing so hurts everybody in the system.

“If you're not sure what the terms and clauses mean, GET A LAWYER who can interpret the terms. If considered favorable at the time of signing, know that it is binding once you do sign. There's no turning back.

“In conclusion, know that every time we get on the internet and tell the rest of the world that We believe it is okay not to honor contracts, we are hurting ourselves and our economy.
