Fast rising singer, Runtown being slammed with an injunction from a federal high court stopping him from performing at any event and recording any songs unless approved by the label.

This injunction came about after his former label, Eric-manny sued him. Runtown , has however, responded to the injunction via letters from him and his attorneys, claiming he was never paid royalties for his work while with the label and his life on so many occasions has been threatened by the owner of the label, Okwudili Umenyiora.
