Wizkid to return to former music label, EME

If everything goes according to plan, Wizkid will soon be returning to his former music label, EME Music Group, this is according to a reliable industry source. The source revealed to me exclusively that Wizkid and EME bosses have been going back and forth for the last couple of weeks through their lawyers trying to agree on new terms of them working together again.
"Wizkid leaving EME was just his way of pushing the bosses at the label to take him seriously and increase his earning percentage. When he joined EME he wasn't a star but then he became a mega star and was making a lot of money for the label and they still didn't increase his earning percentage so he took a walk. Now they are working on a new contract that will favour Wizkid." The source said
I hear in the new contract being drafted, EME will not take a dime from Wizkid's international deals. When they start working together again, remember you read it here first! :-)

      This is the 1 and only problem that has ruined nigeria... MONEY, Even abroad artist share their profit...
      Exactly what ppl think is the real cause for Tupacs death.

      We Nigerians need to take a chill pill in our pursuit of money.

      Watch and see how MayD will fall cos he's reaping were he dint sow... MayD wouldn't av ever seen the US so soon not even without hard labour, wouldn't in his life be on the same track with Akon, but through all this he was given a suit in square ville, an EOD with a contract, he turned all of it down... Then came up with confirm record!

      Let's learn to share, break bread and be contended, cos ur life could av been ZERO if the HERO like banky dint step in.

    I doubt this. Watch Wizkid's last video "The Matter" with Malek Berry, it has "Star Boy Entertainment" as the opening theme and nothing about EME was seen in the video or said as he always does in all songs, artistes don't just move in and out of record labels that fast within a short time frame.

They've invested in him and taken him from a nothing to a "mega star" and now all of a sudden he doesn't want them to enjoy the fruits of their investment? renegotiating to increase your earning percentage is one thing but totally cutting out the ppl who took u from nothing to something is another thing

    Or maybe 'cause they'v sacked the Demuren brothers' father.
    Lol.No money again.
    I can bet that they pleaded with him.
    No record label has done this before.

    I honestly don't think Wizkid was being a bad guy (though he's still the "baddest boy") when he went to Twitter several weeks ago venting his disappointment with Banky and EME's management. No ones like to be cheated, as his reputation soars so should his earnings too. Good to see the team back together anyway. #EME
