Music producer Dr. Roy has refuted claims of calling out renowned gospel singer Mercy Chinwo over unpaid royalties. In a video posted on Instagram, Dr. Roy cautioned bloggers about the accuracy of their posts, emphasizing that his grievances were directed solely at Ezekiel ThankGod, also known as ‘Eezee T,’ the owner of Eezee T Concept, and not Mercy Chinwo.
Dr. Roy explained that both he and Mercy Chinwo faced challenges under Eezee T’s management, and since then, Mercy has been supportive of him. He highlighted Mercy Chinwo’s assistance during his father’s illness as evidence of her kindness.
The controversy arose from reports alleging that Dr. Roy criticized Mercy Chinwo for neglecting him after producing her hit songs during an appearance on the podcast show ‘Honest Bunch with Nedu’. Dr. Roy was reportedly quoted as saying, “Mercy Chinwo and I worked on her ‘Excess Love’ project and other tracks for 22 hours straight for days and I didn’t get my royalties. When my father was sick, I called Mercy to assist me and all she said was ‘He’ll be fine’.”
However, Dr. Roy vehemently denied making such statements about Mercy Chinwo in his video message. Meanwhile, there has been no response from Eezee T regarding Dr. Roy’s claims at the time of this report.
