The war between Nigerian singer Douglas Jack Agu, popularly known as Runtown, and his record label, Eric Many, is getting messier as the label has begun investigations into the alleged leaked sex tape tale.
Last week a video allegedly showing Runtown, and an unknown lady having sex was released online by an Instagram user identified as (@boss_l.a.s).
The video was released with a chat showing the name of Eric Many record label boss.

Reacting to the video and chat, the label issued a statement to dismiss claims that Eric Many is involved and also launched an investigation with the help of investigative agencies.
The statement reads in part,
“Preliminary findings have revealed that the released sex tape and Whatsapp chat purportedly leaked by Runtown’s label is totally fake and a badly executed stunt by the artist himself.
“Investigations have led to the capture of a suspect (name withheld) who confessed to using a fake Instagram account to spread the false sex tape leak on Runtown’s request’.
“We have maintained from the beginning of this saga that Eric Many has a verifiable court injunction against Runtown and we’ll not resort to blackmail or cheap social media stunts as we believe in the rule of law.
“Investigations are on-going as regards the leaked sex tape story and we’ll let the law take its full course.”
Eric Many Chairman, Prince Okwudili Umenyiora, said he would never comment on the matter openly as Runtown remains the baby of the Label company, and that “after every war comes peace”, the Chairman of Dilly Motors, concluded.
The General Manager, Johnson Adumike also said trying to use a sex tape to blackmail Runtown is just like using a bottle of whisky to blackmail a drunk’ a former Ericmany staff who is very close to Runtown said, Vanguard reports.
