According reports then the sharing formula from Chidinma’s concerts/shows, endorsements and other sources of revenue generation regarding her music had been 60:40 until about two years ago when the singer agitated for a 70:30 ratio, and her request was reluctantly granted by Clarence and Ill Bliss. But what eventually became the last straw that broke the camel’s back was the beautiful singer’s recent demand for a 90:10 sharing ratio, a proposal that was instantly rejected by Clarence and Ill Bliss.

However, In a recent interview, Ill Bliss cleared the air that Chidinma didn’t leave the label, but the contract signed with the singer had ended and they didn’t want to renew because the relationship they had degenerated.

Speaking on Entertainment Splash with Foladele Falana and Ariyike Dimples, Chidinma said she refused to address the issue, because she’s not the drama type.
