Really Sad Story "Wizkid/EME On The Verge of a Major Split"

Another major musical divorce may rock the Nigerian music scene soon, if emerging feelers are anything to go by.Rumours have it that Wizkid has parted ways with the Banky W led E.M.E record label.

One of the pointers was his absence at the Lagos Countdown Concert on New Year Eve, despite an excuse by Banky W that the young singer was ill, even as sources say he was in far-away UK, having a swell time.

Wizkid, who parted ways with his long time manager and friend Osagie Osarenkhoe, in September 2012, is said to be dissatisfied with his contract agreement and sharing quota within the label.

A major indication of the possible crack is that his Twitter Bio now reads, Management @DisturbingLDN@Godwin Tom with no mention whatsoever of EME Records.

Although both parties are yet to put out any word concerning the matter, Banky W shut down these reports early this week, describing it as a mere rumour. In a recent interview, he was quoted as saying that Wizkid is still very much part of EME family. He also added that all Wizzy has is an international management and recording contract with British rapper, Tinie Tempah’s Disturbing London outfit and Akon’s Konvict Music respectively.

With various reports stating that Konvict music is offering the singer a more flexible contract they offer him, it is therefore unlikely that his anticipated album will be dropped on the EME imprint.

Also, the 23-year-old superstar, who spent the most part of 2012 touring Europe, Asia and America, had at the beginning of this year acquired a house in Lekki, Lagos. The move was been attributed to the fact that the singer had an argument concerning his new home and leaving his EME label according to the unconfirmed report.

If it is true that both parties have parted ways, it will no doubt be a case of another failed relationship which brings to mind other examples such as the P-Square/May D, Eva/elDee as well as the Mo’Hits split.

But anyway We know that, at this moment, Wizkid is still SIGNED to EME. What happens in the next few weeks… anybody’s guess.

Hopefully this apparent feud gets resolved amicably for the sake of all parties involved.

Hmmmm...In my own opinion, I'll say MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS..!
Buh Why can't these guys just stick together? Must everybody break up? Nigerians are not united. Money is useless and can make you loose beautiful things that can never be bought... Imagine how many people would come out to call Banky a greedy person... Imagine how many people would take sides with Wizzy bcuz he is young and promising. It's funny how things change thoe... D'banj is really struggling to make it musically and Don Jazzy is also feeling the heat... The fans feel it more... Why can't one be contented? Chocolate City is the most organized label I've seen in Nigeria, while the rest are just falling behind.. MI has got Loopy Music which he runs with Iceprince and Jesse but they are still under Chocolate City. It's not like they cannot leave what they have to start their own cos they've made money but they just are following the right steps and the deal/contract they have with their label is paying off... They are contented... If you want to make more money there are other legit things you could do to make money. Your voice wears out after some time and people shift their attention towards something else even if it's a new Terry G... Please fix your problems indoors and don't disgrace each other in public.

Make I see diz girls abeg, Later....!
