Rema: “When I was signed to a Mavins record label, they didn’t want me to open a business. They didn’t want me to build a house, everything I wanted to get, they were checking it. They didn’t even want to see me with a girlfriend.”

You might feel Rema said all this, but that’s not true. We just want to use this opportunity to sensitize the fans and upcoming artists about some types of record deals our artists sign.

When you sign a record deal, the record label gives you a huge amount of money. It’s just like an investment loan from a bank. Before you take the money, they have to know what you will be doing with the money.

Don’t think Mavins will give you 1 billion Naira and you go and buy a house or open a business. NO… They give you money and tell you the kind of things you have to do with it.

The record labels don’t want you to open a in because they feel it’s going to take your attention from your music and you will start slowing down on producing more songs.

They can tell you that you aren’t allowed to have a girlfriend because she’s going to distract you from your career and before you know it, you stop thinking about music and focus on posting your boyfriend back to back like Libianca and her Ghanaian boy.

They don’t want you to use your money for anything like real estate because they gave you that money with conditions.

They want you to live an expensive lifestyle even if you are broke because that helps in your branding, which makes you look professional. If you want to buy a car of 300 million, they will encourage you because they know every blogger will post it and you will be trending.

Most artists sign their deals young so they don’t read the conditions well. When they try to buy some things and the record label refuses while showing them the terms of their contract, they will be surprised.

But that is how the industry works. When you are signed to a label, you follow instructions because a record deal is like an investment loan from a bank

Nigerian singer and dancer Korra Obidi has sparked relationship speculations with Canadian superstar Drake’s father, Dennis Graham.

The US-based singer hinted at a romance with Graham after referring to herself as Drake’s step mother while sharing photos of her and the rapper’s dad hanging out via her Instagram recently.

Sharing the cozy photos, which included one of Graham kissing her on her cheeks, Obidi captioned, “Korra, Iya Drizzy [Drake’s mom].

“Amazing time with @therealdeniseg.”

She also shared a video of Mr Graham holding onto her waist tightly with the caption, “Please, is there anything wrong with the way he was holding my waist? Some people are sweating.”

Dennis Graham and his ex-wife Sandra divorced when Drake was five years old. Despite their complex relationship, Drake’s parents seem to be in a good place with each other now, with Dennis celebrating his ex-wife on her 75th birthday.

Korra Obidi on the other hand, is also divorced with two children. She cited her mental health as one of the reasons she quit her marriage. Her ex-husband, Justin Dean, accused her of infidelity.
