Nigerian singer, Fido, accuses former record label of his advance payment.

Nigerian singer, Fido, has accused his former record label, Inner Circle Entertainment, of withholding 95% of his $20,000 advance payment for his hit single "Awolowo". 

The singer claimed that he received only about ₦1.5 million, while the label took the rest, allegedly slowing down his career progress in the music industry.

Fido, however, admitted that efforts are ongoing to address the issue, although he expressed frustration over the label's handling of his advance payment.

Fido, who gained mainstream attention after releasing "Awolowo" in August 2024 while under Inner Circle Entertainment, has since left the label to become an independent artist, blending Afro-fusion, traditional sounds, and modern influences in his music. 

The dispute highlights concern about artist-label relationships and financial transparency in the music industry.
