Runtown To Appear Before High Court On August 8



Singer, Runtown is set to appear before an Abuja High court on August 8th, 2018 for failing to obey a court injunction made on May 10th, 2018.

Runtonwn’s ex-label, Eric Many released a statement that revealed that an injunction against Runtown was filed and published on the pages of Punch Newspapers, on Monday, July 30, 2018. It appears the singer disobeyed the injunction and now he has been summoned to appear before an Abuja High Court on  August 8th, 2018.

The statement reads;

“Recall that we served a Contempt Warning from Court on Runtown on July 4, 2018 after he defied Court Order and released a song. Rather than heed the Contempt Warning and retrace his steps, he issued a Press Release in which he argued that the Injunction had expired.

The Injunction was to stop things until the hearing of our Motion seeking to freeze activities until a decision on his status (whether he had discharged his obligations to us or not) is taken. It barred him from performing or releasing songs for the time being’.

The statement went on to add that, ‘the legal advice we received was that Runtown was wrong in his interpretation of the Rules of Court he relied on since he was already served with our Motion and was represented in Court on May 31, 2018 when the Court adjourned to September 27, 2018, to hear the Motion and the one filed by Runtown himself!

To turn around after that day to proceed to do what the Order barred him from doing, and what the Motion served on him (adjourned in his presence) seeks to stop, is unjustifiable under the 7-Days Rule he relied upon. That could probably apply to a person against whom an interim injunction was obtained without more’.

‘Based on this, we have done two things: One, we have obtained a ‘FORM 49’ against him to explain why he should not be sent to prison, especially when he continued to publicize fixtures for shows in Canada, Namibia, Europe etc and threaten to release more songs, both actions in defiance of the Court Order.

The application (now fixed for 8th August) has been served on him in the Punch as ordered by the Court. Two, since we will not allow him to continue to mock the Court Order we have applied and obtained a new Injunction to stop his actions to protect the Contempt Case.

The new injunction bars him from his threatened defiant actions in Canada, Namibia, Europe etc. We believe the new Injunction has not also ‘expired’ and hope he respects the Court this time.

Please bear in mind that our main case in Court boils down to whether Runtown has discharged his monetary obligations to us and delivered one Album to us as spelt out in our Contract.

He has responded, so it will be good to allow the Court to decide what each party filed. Let both sides apply restraint.”

Drake’s Latest Album “Scorpio” Breaks Records For Most Weeks At Number 1

Drake is number one! According to new reports, the rapper, Drake, just finished up his third week at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 with his latest release, Scorpio. The charting company released the news today, Sunday, July 29th. Billboard revealed that the album sold 184,000 copies in its latest week, and 15,000 of those were traditional CD sales.

Drake has now broken the biggest record; he has spent more time in the number one spot than any other artist in recorded history.

What is Kubool and Other Anonymous Messaging Apps

Let’s talk about the truth. Let’s talk about feelings and secrets. One thing we know for sure is that they can hurt. Either when you’re giving or receiving them. Sometimes it’s hard to tell someone the truth. That’s where sites like Kubool come in. The possibility to anonymously tell someone what you really feel gives a sense of relief to the heavy chest. Let’s look at that and others you can use to take a load off. Kubool Kubool is a  free interactive anonymous messaging platform with a twist.  Once you create your ‘Profile Link’ you can send it to your friends and see what they can anonymously tell you what they think of you. There’s no way to find out who has sent you the message on Kubool. This app is an anonymous app, meaning that you will not get to know who is sending you messages. Neither can you find out if the message is true or not. It’s all up to how you take that message. Many sites and videos will bait you into believing you can. The only way is to hack the s

I Will Be Bigger Than Wizkid & Davido – Singer, L.A.X

L.A.X recently had an exclusive interview with Star Tracker. During the interview he made a bold claim that he would be bigger than Wizkid and Davido in the next one year. The interview started with questions about the singer’s current projects. He spoke about his forthcoming album and what to expect from the project, before going on to state his big target for the next 12 months. Read the excerpt of the interview below: What new projects are you working on at the moment? “Right now I’m working on my album. Last year I was working on it but I lost my hard drive on which I had close to 90 songs on. This happened early last year after I dropped ‘Run away’. I felt like there was a reason I lost those songs, so I focused on creating a new sound for myself. So when you hear my music now you will notice that the sound is different from what I had on ‘Caro’ or ‘Ginger’. It’s now a different vibe all together. I just felt like that is the direction God wants me to go.
