He was impersonating me and using my name for business- Epixode on why he parted ways with his former manager
Ghanaian artiste Theophilus Naa Ardey Otoo popularly known as Epixode has disclosed why he parted ways with former manager Ezhibit.
On November 11, 2022, Epixode made the announcement of the cessation of their contract through his lawyers.
Speaking in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy Prime, Epixode explained that his manager had misused his social media pages for commercial purposes without his consent, which was detrimental to his brand's reputation.
“Per what our lawyers wrote, there was a sort of impersonation and it was not good for our brand. Because of the kind of work we do, we actually engage with people so I happened to have businesses with people that I didn’t know about as Epixode, I didn’t think it is good for the brand,” he said.
According to Epixode, his team had no knowledge of the unauthorized businesses that were conducted in his name, leading to a breach of trust. Despite this setback, Epixode acknowledges that Exhibit played a positive role in his career.
“because he was handling my social media pages he had had businesses in the name of Epixode which the whole team didn’t know about and it was not looking good as time went on so we all had a very good understanding that we needed to move on.”
Epixode announced the termination of their agreement on November 11, 2022, through his lawyers. He said that the team as a whole made the decision, not just him.
Ankoma Mensah & Associates, Epixode’s attorneys, penned the statement in November 2022. Ezhitbit would no longer serve as Epixode’s manager, agent, or representative, nor would he be involved with the company’s brand.
They cautioned the public against doing business with, talking about, or engaging in any activity that would harm or have an impact on the previous manager’s reputation for Epixode.
