Nigerian musician Orji Kelechi Obinna George Michael, better known by the stage name Kelly Hansome, has dropped a video from a yet-to-be-released podcast.
Kelly Hansome, who alleged that his former label boss and music executive, Kenny Ogungbe, blocked his interviews from being aired during their long-standing feud, spoke about his time at the Kennis Music label in the recent video he shared.
The video, which consisted of different clips put together, saw Kelly Hansome claim he got an endorsement of N140 million.
Kelly said he was informed that a show he performed at was worth N450k, only to find out the organisers paid N6 million.
The singer revealed he stopped the show while telling people he was not paid, leading to organisers demanding a refund.
Kelly Hansome also recalled a scene with D'banj, in which the singer asked that he be given a laptop to hold for a mugshot after he was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Legit.ng recalls reporting that Kelly Hansome, in 2021, shared how Don Jazzy arrested him with SARS and had him moved from Kano to Abuja in handcuffs.
The singer added that his former label blocked his music despite his talent.
In a caption of the video, Kelly Handsome wrote:
