Nigerian Singer Harrysong lied about paying me for producing his “Tribute To Mandela” song” – Producer Chimbalin blasts singer


A music producer, identified as Chimbalin has accused Alter Plate recording artist, Harrysong of ripping him off his financial rights on one of his songs, “Tribute To Mandela”.
According to Chimbalin, in a chat with Pulse NG, though he had no written agreement with Harrysong when he produced the song, he got a verbal agreement from the singer as to what he would get from proceeds of the song.
The producer said following the production of the song, he was promised to get 10 percent of the proceeds should the song make it to MTN’s caller back tune and ring tones – which the song eventually did.

Chimbalin then went further to explain how he met Harrysong and all that transpired between them before he decided to call it quit with the singer.
The meet
I met Harrysong in Warri some years ago when one of my friends worked with him on a song. My friend brought him to my studio then, we did a song and afterwards, Harrysong showed interest in me and wanted to work with me.
I produced Ogogoro featuring Timaya and some other songs for Harrysongs after which he urged me to leave Warri saying my talent was bigger than Warri and I thought about it before relocating to Lagos.

Relocating to Lagos
We started working together when I relocated to Lagos. Then, Harrysong was still signed on to Questionmark and we did a couple of songs and we worked together like a team striving to attain greater heights. So when Mandela died, we decided to do something and I produced the track which he sang on for the Tribute to Mandela song.
