Guys, the ‘mother of all porting’ is about to happen. And it will shake the industry to its foundation.
Nigerian Entertainment Today has received spin materials from publicists alleging the Nigerian label is considering signing a deal that’ll see it leave market leader MTN for rival Globacom.
In one emailed article by a certain Gbenga Olorunpomi, it is being alleged that producer and label head Don Jazzy is set to lead his six acts to ‘port’ from telecoms giant, MTN, to rival, Globacom.
Don Jazzy has just two months left on his MTN deal. Tiwa Savage, D’Prince and Dr Sid whose contacts are also nearing expiration are also allegedly considering jumping ship.
Meanwhile, it is possible Globacom has already indicated interest in signing the trio of Mavin youngsters, Korede Bello, Díja and Reekado Banks. A source familiar with the deal believed to be impending, says news of Don Jazzy’s availability came up just as Globacom was preparing offers to add Mavin’s rising musicians, popularly known as Mavin 2.0 and made up of Di’Ja, Reekado Banks and Korede Bello to its ambassadorial fold.
One source tells Nigerian Entertainment Today: ‘Not
only is Glo eager to sign the young ones all at once, they are determined to break the bank by also offering a record -breaking deal to the Mavin Records CEO’.
It remains to be seen if this coup will succeed.
