Only A Fool Would Destroy What God Has Built – EeZeeTee Fires Back At Mercy Chinwo
The CEO of EeZee Conceptz, Ezekiel Onyedikachi, popularly known as EeZeeTee, has strongly refuted accusations made by gospel artist, Mercy Chinwo, who claimed that he attempted to destroy her career through lies and emotional manipulation.
Recall that in a video shared across various media platforms on Tuesday, Chinwo accused EeZeeTee of threatening to ruin her career and subject her to servitude during her time with his label.
EeZeeTee has responded with a statement expressing disappointment over the allegations, emphasizing that such actions contradict the values of a true child of God.
He said, “It’s heartbreaking that you can go to this extent to tarnish the credibility or tarnish the image of someone. You had promised that you would destroy my reputation and the organization. Well done. When you’re done achieving it, I hope you get a crown in heaven.”

The music mogul went on to challenge the narrative, stating that as a gospel artist and someone who professes faith, Chinwo should not resort to tactics that would harm another person.
“How would we sabotage our investment? We need to be a little more intelligent with the narratives we’re presenting,” he stated. “The question is this, are we going to carry strife in our hearts, bitterness in our hearts, resentment in our hearts, and go everywhere, you know, acting like we’re doing ministry and kingdom?”
The core issue, according to EeZeeTee, revolves around unresolved financial matters between him and Chinwo.
He mentioned that despite his repeated efforts to resolve the matter in a peaceful manner, his gestures were misconstrued as weakness and signs of guilt.
“For more than two years, there’s been quite a lot of challenges and disputes behind the scenes. I had not felt or seen the need to come out to discredit any of my artists,” he stated.
He further explained that his peaceful efforts were not understood and were even seen as attempts to avoid responsibility.
“I made efforts to see how this would be resolved,” EeZeeTee said, detailing his efforts to consult respected men of God, including Apostle Eugene Ogwu, Bishop Humphrey Erumaka, and Bishop Mike Okonkwo.
“But what did I hear? He’s running everywhere to meet these people. Now he’s very scared. What is he scared of? Why is he running around?”
EeZeeTee also responded to claims that he was the one who initiated legal action, revealing that his accounts had been frozen without prior explanation.
“Around March, all my accounts were frozen. I couldn’t trace where it was coming from. Until somehow, I got confidential information that it was a few sets of persons who were doing this,” he said, adding that the freezing was part of a covert effort to manipulate the situation.
He also questioned the legitimacy of Chinwo’s statements, saying, “How do you say I took you to court? When did the court come in? The dates are there.”
Addressing Chinwo’s allegations of a financial dispute, EeZeeTee clarified his position on the audit process. “I have never been opposed to a financial audit. Never,” he stated, expressing his willingness to participate in a fair and unbiased audit.
However, he made it clear that this process should be mutual, and both parties should open their books for scrutiny. “Let’s have a neutral, unbiased entity.
Professional who understands all of the navigations within the ecosystem of the music industry. We want this audit to happen. Because that’s the only way I would also be vindicated,” he explained.
EeZeeTee also addressed accusations that he bullied Chinwo, asserting that anyone who knows her would know it’s impossible to bully a bully.
“You cannot bully a bully,” he remarked, suggesting that the allegations were part of a broader attempt to discredit him. “This is just an attempt to assassinate the character of someone,” he added.
Lastly, he responded to allegations regarding the paternity rumors surrounding Chinwo’s child, calling it a disappointing and baseless accusation.
“It beats my imagination that in all of this, as sensitive as a case of a paternity saga, that’s what you want to use to put false allegations on my head,” he said, challenging Chinwo to provide evidence for such claims.
EeZeeTee closed his statement by calling for truth and reconciliation within the gospel music industry, emphasizing the need for honesty and accountability.
“This is an attack on the body of Christ. Only a fool would destroy what God has helped them to be,” he concluded.
The Plateau State Government has thrown its weight behind Big Brother Naija housemate, Sheba Faith Gamde, urging residents and supporters across the country to vote massively for the Plateau-born contestant.
The state Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Prince Miaphen, made the call when he received members of Team Sheba, who visited the ministry on Thursday to seek government support for the reality TV star.

Miaphen assured the delegation that the ministry would mobilise support for Sheba and provide the encouragement needed to help her succeed in the competition.
Describing Sheba as a proud daughter of Plateau State, the commissioner said her participation in the popular reality show provided an opportunity for the state to showcase its talents and culture on a wider national platform.
“As a proud daughter of Plateau, I believe it is our collective responsibility to stand behind her and support her journey,” Miaphen said.
He called on Plateau indigenes, residents, friends and supporters of the state to unite behind Sheba and vote for her, stressing that every vote could make a difference in determining the eventual winner.
“Together, we can help our own bring the ultimate prize home,” he added.
Miaphen further encouraged youths and other residents to support the housemate throughout her stay in the BBNaija house.
“Let us support Sheba. Let us make Plateau proud,” the commissioner said.
Nigerian singer Ayra Starr has sparked a debate over money and power in relationships after revealing how she would behave if she were financially richer than her male partner.
The “Bloody Samaritan” hitmaker shared her views on financial disparity in relationships while speaking on an episode of the Wahala podcast.

Ayra Starr said that if she dates a man who is not as wealthy as she is, she would naturally have control over him because of her financial advantage.
According to the singer, however, being richer than her partner would not mean he would be exempted from providing for her.
“If I date a man who I am richer than, I will control him. But even if I am richer, he will still be providing, and I won’t let him know I have a lot of money,” she said.
Ayra Starr also disclosed that she would deliberately keep the extent of her wealth away from such a partner, meaning he would not necessarily know that she has substantial financial resources.
Her comments have since generated mixed reactions from members of the public.
While some people agreed with the singer’s position, arguing that “it is a man’s job to provide” regardless of how much his female partner earns, others criticised her stance.
Critics particularly questioned her decision to hide her financial status from a future partner, arguing that openness about finances is an important part of a relationship.
The singer’s comments have consequently reignited conversations about financial power, control, transparency and traditional gender expectations in relationships.
The debate also comes amid growing conversations about changing gender roles, as more women attain financial independence and, in some cases, earn significantly more than their male partners.
Ayra Starr, who has established herself as one of Nigeria’s prominent Afrobeats artistes, continues to attract attention both for her music and her outspoken comments on issues surrounding relationships and society.
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, and her former husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, have sparked reactions online after they were spotted together in Paris, France, during a family holiday.

In a video shared by JJC Skillz on Snapchat on Wednesday, Akindele and her ex-husband were seen with their children at what appeared to be a shopping centre in Paris.

The video was captioned, “Family time.”
In another clip, JJC Skillz asked Akindele, “Mama Ibeji, are we playing games?”
She replied, “Yess ooo.”
The former couple were also reportedly spotted at the Eiffel Tower, according to videos shared online.
Akindele also shared a video showing herself, JJC Skillz and their children at a PlayStation section of what appeared to be a mall in Paris.
The family outing comes after Akindele and her children travelled to the United Kingdom for a holiday following the completion of her latest cinema project, The Four.
Akindele and JJC Skillz got married in London in 2016 and welcomed twin boys in 2018.
However, in June 2022, JJC Skillz announced their separation in an Instagram post, citing
“irreconcilable differences.”
Despite their separation, the former couple have continued to maintain a relationship centred around their children.
Their latest reunion in Paris has attracted attention online, with the videos showing the pair enjoying family moments with their children.
The Paris outing is also not the first time Akindele and JJC Skillz have been seen together publicly since their separation.
In 2023, the former couple were spotted together at the Lagos premiere of their movie, She Must Be Obeyed. They were seen dancing and embracing as they joined other celebrities at the event.
JJC Skillz also directed the movie.
