Media personality and event promoter Oga Obinna has issued a strong warning to boxer Majembe, threatening legal action for defamation following a heated fallout over contractual disagreements tied to the Vurugu 2 boxing event.
The dispute has escalated across social media platforms after Majembe and his management team withdrew from the highly anticipated fight, citing concerns over the contract terms presented by Obinna TV Studios.
Contract Dispute Triggers Fallout
The conflict began when Majembe’s camp rejected a fight agreement reportedly valued at Sh 500,000. The boxer was scheduled to face a Somali opponent in the Vurugu 2 event, but negotiations collapsed over key contractual clauses.
Majembe and his manager raised objections to a 20% agency fee included in the agreement. They argued that the fee was excessive and questioned its fairness, especially in a deal where Obinna also served as promoter of the event.
They further objected to a clause granting Obinna TV Studios worldwide and perpetual rights over Majembe’s image, voice, and likeness. The management team described the clause as overly broad, arguing that it extended control of the boxer’s identity indefinitely without additional compensation.
The contract also reportedly included obligations tied to external sponsorships and third-party platforms, which Majembe’s camp claimed could interfere with existing endorsement agreements.
Obinna Defends Contract Terms
Oga Obinna strongly defended the agreement, insisting that Majembe’s team misinterpreted the contract and spread inaccurate claims online.
He urged the boxer to consult qualified legal counsel rather than relying on what he described as misleading interpretations from his management team.
“Majembe, somea watu hiyo contract vile iko,” Obinna said in a social media response, encouraging the boxer to read the document carefully instead of altering its meaning publicly.
He warned that misrepresenting contractual terms could lead to legal consequences, adding that ignorance would not be accepted as a defense in court.
Obinna also dismissed criticism of the 20% agency fee, describing it as a standard industry practice used to cover promotion, logistics, and talent management through Obinna TV Studios.
He defended his financial role in organizing the event, stating that fighters benefit from platforms and prize opportunities they would not access independently.
Legal Threats Over Defamation
Following Majembe’s withdrawal and public statements, Obinna escalated the dispute by threatening legal action for defamation.
He accused the boxer’s management team of distorting the contract details and spreading false narratives to content creators and media platforms.
Obinna stated that he would not allow his brand, built over more than a decade, to be damaged by what he described as misinformation.
“I will not build a brand for over 16 years then you come and defame it,” he said in a direct warning shared across his online platforms.
He also alleged that Majembe’s team circulated incorrect versions of the contract to influence public opinion and shift blame for the collapse of negotiations.
Blocking and Breakdown in Communication
The dispute intensified further when Obinna confirmed that he had temporarily blocked Majembe on social media following the disagreement.
He claimed the decision was necessary due to continued communication issues with the boxer’s management, which he accused of misguiding Majembe and escalating tensions unnecessarily.
Obinna stated that attempts to resolve the matter privately were unsuccessful, prompting him to take a more public stance in defending his position.
