Although Wizkid’s exit from Banky W’s
EmpireMates Entertainment has not
attracted the kind of controversy that
greeted D’banj’s separation from Don Jazzy,
he seems to be determined to chart a new
course for himself.
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
Wizkidmight 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
