Brymo is now a free man as the Chocolate City's ban that stopped him from practicing as an artiste has been lifted. The injunction filed by record label Chocolate City against him was lifted by Justice I. Buba of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi Lagos.
According to the Judge: "Since the plaintiff (Chocolate City) can be compensated at a later date, the defendant is free to carry out his duties as a singer so that none of the parties will be at a disadvantage". Brymo’s Lawyer, Nike Olagbede after apologising to the court for her unruly behaviour, argued that Brymo was right to quit the record label, as the latter could not fulfill its promises.
On why Brymo left the label, his counsel said: "An underground artiste signed for a record label in good faith and believed his career will be propelled. All that was promised was not fulfilled and the singer couldn't promote himself. He wants to be released because artistes in this music industry have a short career span".
Also claimed that Chocolate City informed Brymo that they wouldn't be able to fund his second album because they were financing other artistes on the label. It was also revealed that Brymo signed a five-year and three-album contract with Chocolate City, which was due to expire on April 13, 2016.
After lifting the injunction, the judge adjourned the case till March 19, 2014 to give the counsels time to provide witnesses to back up their claims. The case has been adjourned till March 19, 2014 to enable Chocolate City present claim whether he breached the contract or not.
