BEEF: Producer Accuses Cannibal Of Dishonoring Contracts

According to Xtreme Entertainment CEO John Chacha, rapper Cannibal is notirious for signing and walking out on recording and management deals. Chacha claims that he lost over 500, 000 on Cannibal.

 “I had a 3-year deal with Cannibal that involved audio and visual production, promotions and marketing, management and concert bookings, and re-branding. I spent colossal amounts to dress him and record his music and videos,” he recalls. Chacha claims that he bankrolled two of Cannibal’s videos – Cannibal and I Wish – to the tune of Sh. 450,000.

“This catapulted him to the national podium, pitting him against the big names in the industry. It also earned him a spot in the nominations list for the Channel O Awards,” says Chacha. That was when things changed for Chacha as Cannibal stopped answering his calls.

“The next thing I heard was that he had signed another deal with a Nairobi stable,” Chacha recalls. He says he could not take legal action because Cannibal was still struggling. “I didn’t want to make life difficult for him,” he says.
