Oops!
It was a show of shame at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference (NEC) which held
over the weekend at the Grand ball room of the Eko Hotel and suites,
Victoria Island, Lagos, when two bigwigs in the music industry- Kennis
Music Boss, Mr. Kenny Ogungbe and the Chairman of Copyright Society of
Nigeria COSON, Chief Tony Okoroji, violently exchange words that almost
marred the event of the day.
This is how it started:
Chief Tony Okoroji had confronted Kenny
Ogungbe in the presence of journalists for daring to say in public that
COSON owed him money.
“How could he say such a thing? And in public?” Chief Okoroji fumed.
However, Kenny Ogungbe on his part remained resilient, insisting he
would stand by his words. They exchanged hot, abusive words impossible
to publish including the F word as they were pulled apart by concerned
friends who feared the brawl may soon go physical.
Kenny Ogungbe further warned that if anything should happen to him after the brawl, Okoroji would be held responsible.
He said, “After now, if anything happens to me, it is on your head.”
The incident happened immediately after the first session of the
conference where Mr. Kenny Ogungbe had been amongst a panel of
discussants along side Cool DJ Jimmy Jat, Sound Sultan, MI and Weird MC
during which pertinent industry issues had been raised. Hehehe! Anyway here are pictures from the event….
