But you were excited at first, what changed?

Deal probably wasn't favourable.

Sony has always cheated and enslaved artists e.g the late king of pop Michael Jackson, thank your stars that you are now a free man.

Artist always looking for freebies...

HATERS WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE SAYING HIS DAD USED MONEY TO BUY HIM OUT OF THE CONTRACT, NOT KNOWING HE IS STILL UNDER THE DEAL, THEIR FAVE WIZKID EVEN HAS A MORE SLAVISH DEAL WITH SONY. ATLANTIC GOT BURNA AN A CHOKEHOLD, REASON WHY BURNA MUST DO SHOWS UPON SHOWS TILL HIS CONTRACT ENDS. THESE FOREIGN RECORD LABELS ONLY GIVE YOU SLAVE DEALS. THEY WILL MILK YOU TILL YOU FADE AWAY....IMAGINE BURNABOY HAS ONLY 25% FROM HIS MUSIC LAST LAST, WHILE THE PERSON HE SAMPLED GOT ABOUT 60% OF THE REVENUE. ARTISTS JUST WANT THAT DEAL LIKE HELL, REASON THEY END UP WITH A DEVILISH SLAVISH DEAL, EVEN WITH SOME DOING THE UNTHINKABLE TO GET AWARDS. THE MUSIC INDUSTRY STINKS.

HE SHOULD THANK HIS GOD HE GOT OUT OF THE DEAL EARLY FINE, HALE AND HEARTY WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. SOME END UP DEAD. HE SHOULD THANK HIS STARS

Those foreign contracts don't do much good for our artists.

na normal thing now...that time, fame no too much, so him think say na mega deal...now that he is made, Sony looks more like a liability to him

What just came to my mind, the case of Michael Jackson...

I think nah there em release Dami duro

they the ones that made grammy not to give davido grammy award

But he still does not own the master recordings.

He will only earn royalties from the songs he released with them during that period.

Edit:
After searching, I was wrong about the above.
He negotiated the right to regain ownership.

Sony music na slave trade

Well, if there are no artistes inking such deals, there won't be "slavish contracts" abi?

Tinubu people said his dad was the one pushing him up??


This people can never survive without propaganda.

If they don't see anyone to do propaganda on they will start attacking themselves.

Yes he was excited, now he is free.

Serious slavery honestly when you see what they benefit from artists while giving them peanuts.

This Sony has a hand a Michael Jackson's death

People just like to det talk rubbish

No matter what..Sony music paved way for him

Na why e dey get all this international recommendations to peform at global stage

Burna boy sef get hom own na why e fit perform for world cup along with Shakira
Its a win/win

TemplarLandry:

Na time and levels ooo boss. when he was younger, all he saw was signing for the biggest label and the opportunities he will be exposed to....
He went into their world and understands how much was taken from him....Now he is at the top of his game, so, its time to start doing that to other artists...naxo boss

the cycle continues

Why celebrating?

Wasn't it a good deal he signed?

Sony motola...I hail ooooo

They will tell you how to write your own song, control your type of music, milk you and almost want to change your personality

I agree with you on everything that you wrote... But you see that song Last Last... It could not have broken the records without the sampled beats.

Growth! It shows he's growing in love and career.

The actual benefit is the exposure.

Contract are tricky, big artists too struggle with record labels. Drake's still fighting UMG till date.

not slavish to some extent as you tag it, it also a win win on both side of the spectrum

On a mission to liberate the shepeles

Let's just keep it simple and straightforward. It's a straightforward, positive assessment of Davido's situation with Sony. Nothing to really argue with, really.

He owns the masters and reserve rights to whatever he release under their umbrella, those songs are on his catalog.

David is a big fish and was not a hungry artist

Leave them. As if them force dem.sign the deal.

You knew exactly what you were getting into. The music labels have the keys to the global platform to give you the exposure that you want.

Wetin Davido, Wizkid or Burna or Rema dey sing that Kizz Daniel or others can't sing.

Fulfill the obligations of your contract and shut the ***k up.

Am so much happy for you.To be out of Sony
