Nigeria’s reggae musician Cynthia Morgan who has been off the music radar for sometime is reportedly in tax and rent debt.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Movie actress Adesua Etomi last week asked for the where about of the singer before this incident.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Saturday Beats exclusively obtained court documents showing that Cynthia Morgan has been charged to the Ikeja High Court for failure to pay her rent at her Omole apartment. It was learnt that on the same day the artiste was served court papers for defaulting on payment of rent, she was also served with court papers for evading tax.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
A source close to the owner of the apartment where Cynthia Morgan currently lives told Saturday Beats the amount she owed, which tallies with the information on the court papers obtained by Saturday Beats.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
The source added that the singer’s brother has been begging the owner of the apartment for further grace period even though the initial six months grace given to the artiste ended last month.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“Ever since she moved into the apartment as a tenant, the owner of the building has described her as a nightmare. She has since been given quit notice. At a point, the owner of the house didn’t even know who was staying in the flat because every day, new faces showed up at the apartment and they would leave the gate open at odd hours. Young scary looking boys with different hair colours come around and they smoke in the compound.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“They disturb the nice couple living in the flat upstairs, who have been complaining that they can’t even let their kids play in the compound because of the type of people they see around. She has owed waste bills for over a year. They always play loud music at odd hours of the day. Funnily enough, the couple who live upstairs are also popular; the man is a very popular celebrity designer but I would not want to mention his name. His wife always complains that her home help sweeps cigarette butts everywhere all the time.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“Cynthia Morgan decided at a point that she was going to be recording in her room. When the noise was too much, the owner of the house had to talk to her about it. She has been given quit notice. The six months grace period is up and she was meant to have moved out last month. She is flat broke. They have been pleading that they don’t have anywhere to move to neither can they come up with the rent. But it’s her brother that has been speaking on her behalf. We haven’t seen or heard from her but he claims she is always locked up in her room.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
“The court papers have been submitted to Cynthia Morgan’s apartment already and she has been served a court date. She owes N1.3m. According to her elder brother, she is in the house. She was also served court papers for not paying up to N3.584m in tax. It was the agent that sued her on behalf of his client. He is a very popular real estate agent; he is like a celebrity estate agent. He’s the one that gets apartments for most of them,” the source said.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, Utkal, sans-serif; font-size: 1.08rem; line-height: 1.575rem; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Despite the court papers with Saturday Beats, when a call was placed across to Cynthia Morgan’s phone, her representative who identified himself simply as Maze denied the fact that she owed money. He simply said, “I do not know of anything like that and I would say that it is a lie. I do not know about any court papers, so I would say that it is a lie. To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware that she owes her landlord any money. I believe that if they claim she smokes, entertains strange guests and leaves the gate open at odd hours, they should have proof. In my book, none of this statement is factual. I don’t know about these details and I would say that it is a lie.”</div>
