Speaking about allegations that he restricted her from using the stage name, Cynthia Morgan, Jude showed VDM a video from 2016 where the dancehall singer herself unveiled her new name, “Madrina.”
The critic also mentioned that Cynthia Morgan's royalties since her breakout year were 3,860 dollars, contrary to the millions her fans thought she had gathered over the years.
VDM claimed that he looked like a complete fool for confronting Jude over Cynthia’s case after the music executive showed various receipts about their contract and the amount invested in the artist.
He further mentioned that Cynthia would have to publicly apologise to Jude for tarnishing his image on social media.

Music business needs investment - AK STREETZ, entertainment executive
In a chat with entertainment executive AK STREETZ, he pointed out that just like with any business, investors need to learn how the music industry works before putting their money into it. He further explained what to look out for to get a good return (or profit) on their investment.
"So, like any other business, there is a need for the investor(s) to do the necessary findings on how the Music Business works first before setting out to invest in it. Now to the core of the matter, the best way for any investor or label to structure a feasible Return On Investment is by the following process;
"1) To understand that the Music Business is a long-term gain plan; thus, there is a lot of capacity and talent building needed to get a viable profit scheme
"2) Never be impulsive but aspirational, as there must be a laid-down plan on the objectives of the label with a definite goal, as impulsiveness will only leave the label on trend patterns rather than actual structure and definite purpose.
"3) The Company must be independently run with less interference from the CEOs or nay-sayers.
"4) The company need to look out for other opportunities and means of making profit, like Activations for brands and agencies, Sync licensing for movies and TV commercials, Merchandise sales, etc
"5)Diversifying the other creatives and talents of the artist, like acting, modelling, runway appearances, and Foundational campaigns.
"6)Huge investment in digital marketing and quality creative content. This will increase the streams of the music, but this income is relative to the region where the music is being streamed
"On the part of payouts for the Artiste, this is based on whatever the Talent and the Investors or labels signed on paper, not a verbal agreement. So there is a need for an Entertainment Lawyer to go through the contract for the Artist to avoid low payouts."
