Eric Many Limited, also trading as Eric Many Entertainment, is a Nigerian record label and artist-management company. It signed Runtown (Douglas Jack Agu) in 2014 and released his debut album Ghetto University in 2015 and the single “Mad Over You” in 2016. It has since signed other acts, including Gnewzy in late 2023.
The company is independent and privately held. Nigerian trade press and court reporting name Prince Okwudili “Dilly” Umenyiora, also chairman of Dilly Motors Limited, as its owner and chairman. No Corporate Affairs Commission filing has been checked by this desk to confirm the shareholding or the exact registered corporate name.
The label’s relationship with Runtown became one of the longest-running contract disputes in Nigerian music. An Abuja Federal High Court order in January 2019 restrained Eric Many from interfering in the artist’s affairs, and Runtown went on to launch his own outfit, Soundgod Music Group. On 16 July 2026 the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory took the opposite view, holding that the June 2016 recording agreement had never been lawfully terminated and awarding the label roughly 319 million naira, made up of about 266.7m in unrecouped investment, 50m in general damages and 3m in costs. Runtown publicly rejected the ruling. Eric Many has no corporate website; its main official channel is YouTube.
