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

Jason Derulo vows never to be alone with female colleague over lawsuit

Published

on

American singer Jason Derulo has announced that he will never again be alone in a room with a female colleague.

He said his decision stemmee from a nearly two-year sexual harassment lawsuit that has cost him millions despite being dismissed twice in other jurisdictions.

In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Derulo said, “I will never be alone in a room with a woman that I work with… ever, ever again. That case was dismissed twice. And I lost so many brand deals, relationships off of a story that was not even slightly believable. Why didn’t they post the dismissal at least? Wouldn’t that be fair?”

The interview came as aspiring singer Emaza Dilan has refiled her sexual harassment lawsuit against Derulo in New York, after similar claims were dismissed on procedural grounds in California and Nevada.

Although no court has yet ruled on the substance of the allegations, Derulo said the lingering accusations have already cost him major brand partnerships and prompted him to fundamentally change how he interacts with women in professional settings.

Person wey Soso bring make I sign I say I no wan sign because I no see the future. Time go tell – Kcee finally addresses the long-rumoured rift with Flavour (WATCH).

Published

Nigerian singer Kcee has finally addressed the long standing rumours of a rift between himself and fellow artiste Flavour, shedding new light on the issue during an interview on Yanga FM. In his explanation, Kcee revisited the period when music executive Soso Soberekon allegedly introduced Flavour to him for a possible record deal, a proposal he said he turned down at the time. Recalling the moment in his own words, Kcee said, “…person wey Soso bring make I sign? I don dey drive Hummer, Navigator, dey ball before im from East come. I was a freaking big boy… I say I no wan sign because . I no see the future at that point. Time go tell.” He stressed that the rejection was not driven by personal animosity but by his inability at the time to foresee Flavour’s future in the industry.

The singer also referenced his earlier social media outburst in which he called out individuals he accused of acting like custodians of culture simply because he featured a similar artiste to Flavour in one of his projects. According to Kcee, he does not believe the reported tension between them stemmed from the rejected deal but rather from what he described as a superiority complex. He explained that some of his colleagues, in his view, underrate his talent largely because he does not openly brag about his achievements. “The truth is that when some people had written you off, hoping that you would be stagnant, and you work hard and get to a level they don’t expect you to reach, that was what happened,” he said.

Expanding further, Kcee insisted that his journey in the industry predates Flavour’s rise to fame, noting that he was already enjoying success and an affluent lifestyle before Flavour relocated to Lagos. He also said a lot of his colleagues underrate his talent, mostly because of his humility and because he doesn’t brag.

Sola Allyson, the popular Nigerian gospel singer, has revealed that she is not currently living with her husband.

The musician made this known in her latest interview on Oyinmomo TV.

While speaking about her love life, the 54-year-old who came into limelight with a love album ‘Eji Owuro’, revealed that she is married but not living with her husband.

Sharing her marital experience, the singer said she has never enjoyed the kind of happiness many people describe.

“I’m married, but I’m not in my husband’s house. We live separately. He in his house and I in mine.”

The interviewer asked: “You sang ‘Eji Owuro’, did you experience genuine love from your husband?

She replied, “We lied before. Those older than us didn’t inform us that it’s tough. They made us believe that so long as you both love each other, you will live happily ever after, but it’s a lie.

“That’s not the experience I have. I didn’t have the experience of living happily ever after. I did all I could to make it work.

“Marriage has been a big challenge. I hear people talk about joy in marriage, but I have never experienced it.”
