Ekenedilichukwu Ijemba, better known by his stage name Humblesmith, is a Nigerian afropop recording artist who achieved recognition upon the release of his single titled “Osinachi”.
The artiste who just exited his record label called N-TYZE Entertainment has been sued by the record label.
He was allegedly accused by the Mamagement , Ovie of contract breach, assault and intimidation over a passport “theft” claim.
