Wizkid indicated in a recent
tweet on his Twitter handle that he has pitched his tent with a new records
label known as Star Boy Entertainment.
He has not come out
directly to claim ownership of the label, but it is widely speculated that it
belongs to him.Fans of the young, talented
artiste have been sending him dozens of goodwill messages on Twitter,
acknowledging the birth of Star Boy Entertainment.In addition to the label, it was
gathered that the singer had signed a deal with an international management
team based in England and appointed his long-time friend, Godwin Tom, manager.
A few weeks ago, it was rumoured
that Wizkid might consider mending fences with his erstwhile boss and mentor,
Banky W, thereby suggesting a possible return to the EME, the music label that
nurtured his career.
But the rift between both
artistes had deepened, despite several efforts by Banky W to prevail on Wizkid
not to leave. Even an attempt to get the latter’s mother to mediate in the
matter is said to have failed to yield positive results.
Things started falling apart
between the young artiste and EME when he fired his manager, Osagie Osarenkhoe,
in September 2012 for reasons best known to him. Further proof that all was not
well came to light when he moved out of his former residence to a new apartment
somewhere in Lekki Phase 1.
Early this month, Wizkid gave the
indication on Twitter that he had finally made up his mind to quit EME. He had
tweeted: “Don’t take loyalty for stupidity. Don’t! Moving on to start all over
again!”
Many people read between the
lines and concluded that he might be nursing a deep grudge against the
management of the records label.
