Has Wizkid left his music label, EME?

There have been rumours for months now that Wizkid is planning to leave his music label E.M.E; a rumour he has vehemently denied in the past. But now he's talking about moving on and starting all over again...

Plus he has already re-updated his twitter profile by removing EME/Konvict music from it. See it after the cut...

  15. No wonder! i thought about him today funny enough and i havent even checked twitter.
    This is because Banky has shifted focus to Skales.
    It is sad that there's little or no loyalty in the music industry.
    Hmm Linda pls get 2 the bottom of this story and tell us why he moved.

  41. If he leaves EME ki ni big deal! Is he the first to split?Oh you thought they were going to stay together forever? Music is a game,its strictly biz no friendship. Why are you guys always surprise when you hear an artiste detaching from his label or group? It's show biz baby!
    If you don't know the big names you hear today were in groups or labels known world wide. It decided to moe on.
    Diddy left to form Bad boys entertainment, jayZ left his group back then,R Kelly left public announcement,Dr Dre left deathrow (suge knight) to form aftermaths,snoop dog left No limit (master P),eminem left aftermaths( Dr Dre) to form slim shady,beyonce left destiny child,lil Wayne was in a group,Ice cube left NWA, etc.
    Mohits split,plantashion boys split,remedys split,Kc presh split,then tribe men split,olu maintain,ruggedman left Little fish, tuface left kennis music, ikechukwu left Storms Records,9ice left codes tunes,azadu left devoclan,freestyle left Eastside records,kellyhansome left kennis music, the list goes on and on , so wizkid can decide to leave if he want ,perhaps he has a brighter plan for himself .

    Good luck if truly you wanna leave EME.

  42. I have noticed his bio on twitter doesnt av EME on it for a while now not that he just removed it like yesterday or last week..Its been a while.Also,Linda,did you notice that all other EME acts dont have EME on there bio as well even including Banky W himself.This might be deeper in-house thingy than we all think.Arms akimbo as we await press release from these people buh i trust Linda to get the authentic gist of what really happened and whats going on with them.

  43. he is still young.....& maybe not thinking straight. He should rethink this b4 he moves......anyway, he has his reasons.

  44. yeah right, it always begins with a rumour..too bad

  45. Ewooo,lobatan!!the servant has grown bigger than the master.Change is inevitable sha,i think the mistake these label owners make is that they refuse to accept that their artistes have grown so they need to change the way they deal with them.

    For the record i love Whizkid,but we need to move our Country integrity via our musicians to the next level .
    Foreigner/Investors are scared to invest in our music Industry,because of bullsh** like this,Akon,Stevie Wonder,Lionel Richie,cHRIS bROWN,rIHANNA etc did not walk out on their label @ D HEIGHT OF SUCCESS,WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR MUSICIANS - l'm part of this Industry

  57. That explains the sudden ostentatious in his behaviour recently. I dare say, a lot of sweat was invested in him at the expense of other talent including Banky's career.
    I remember my husband saying that Banky was sacrificing his life/career for Wizkid and would live to regret because people have very short memories.

    Well good luck and I hope you well.

    Please note all the ibu ewu people around you. Hopefully they are giving you good advice

  113. Well ... Maybe its time to be on his own ...but d question is... Is he ripe enough? The fact that one young boy is doing well on his own doesn't mean you can do well on ur own, and on second thought, he cld stun us all with a bigger success... We'll kip our fingers crossed... All d best .

    ReplyDelete
  115. I think it's high time he moved on. He is capable of holding his own even as young as he is rather than wait to be further exploited in the way and manner we are seeing it. He deserves to be respected because no matter what, his contributions to the EME and Nija music scene is immeasurable. I'm sure he has his lawyers and parents who would protect him henceforth from exploiters

  116. Banky should expect this, the boy needs to grow up.

  119. dear wizkid, who do you think will make your beats again?? who did you think made your songs sell?? better go and correct your mistake before it is to late or else your career is over!! or you quickly drop music and go back to school like your mates!

  124. it is not a big deal, life always goes on!

    ReplyDelete
  125. anyway what am gonna say is patience is not too much only if it is not enough if u are close to wizkid tell him a I said he should endure...what he is going through and all things gonna be ok… EME music has good relationship with multi choice, African magic, big Friday show…and when this type of issue is on we have to be careful EME and wizkid have already create history and interesting memory! Pls if u are close to wizkid tell him to be cool…it not good to end friendship, partnership, relationship etc with quarrel

    even if he really wanna moved on he should think about the genesis and go in a good relationship with eme music...Tuface and kennis music still have good relationship!
