Bullet has alleged that the father of late singer Ebony Reigns pressured him into increasing the artiste’s royalty share from 20 percent to 50 percent, revealing that he recently paid the family $100,000.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo, Bullet revealed that he recently paid Ebony’s father $100,000, an amount he described as representing 50 percent of the late musician’s royalties.
He explained that under Ebony’s initial agreement with RuffTown Records, the singer was entitled to 20 percent of the royalties. However, he claimed her father pressured him into increasing the share to half.
Bullet also alleged that Ebony’s father frequently demanded money from him over the years, including funds that had originally been set aside for publicity and promotional activities ahead of the artiste’s debut concert.

Despite the tensions, the music executive maintained that he chose not to publicly address the disagreements and continued to fulfil what he considered his obligations to the family.
“I gave Ebony’s father $100,000 recently, which is 50% of Ebony’s royalties. Ebony only had 20% in those shares, but her father bullied me into making it 50%.
“After the first-ever Ebony party, he insisted I give him his daughter’s money. The money was meant to promote and campaign for Ebony’s work, but I went with him to the bank and withdrew it for him. He doesn’t talk about it anywhere,” Bullet stated during the interview.
The RuffTown boss further accused Ebony’s father of publicly criticising him while failing to acknowledge the financial support and assistance he claims to have offered the family since the singer’s passing.
