Gospel music mogul EeZee Tee charged over alleged $264,000 fraud

The Nigerian gospel music scene has been shaken by allegations of financial impropriety involving Ezekiel ThankGod, popularly known as EeZee Tee, a prominent gospel singer and owner of the renowned record label EeZee Concept.

EeZee Tee is facing legal charges for allegedly diverting $264,000 meant for gospel artist Judith Kanayo, also known as JudiKay.

The controversy stems from an independent audit conducted by Person Consulting, which uncovered that funds generated from platforms like YouTube had not been properly remitted to JudiKay.

The findings pointed to discrepancies in revenue allocation and were subsequently reported to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), leading to EeZee Tee’s arraignment.

During the legal proceedings, it was revealed that the withheld funds allegedly also included earnings from another prominent gospel artist, Mercy Chinwo.

The charges suggest a violation of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, raising serious questions about financial practices within EeZee Concept.

The case is currently before the Federal High Court of Nigeria
