Wizkid leaves EME ?!

Another major musical divorce may rock the Nigerian music scene   soon or it has already. Rumours have it  that Wizkid has parted ways with the Banky W led E.M.E record label.
On of the reasons was  his absence at the Lagos Countdown Concert on New Year Eve,  despite an excuse by Banky W that the young singer was ill, even as sources say he was in far-away UK, having a swell time.
 Wizkid, who parted ways with his long time manager and friend Osagie Osarenkhoe, in September 2012, is said to be dissatisfied with his contract agreement and sharing quota within the label.
A major indication of the possible crack is that his Twitter Bio now reads, Management @DisturbingLDN@Godwin Tom with no mention whatsoever of EME Records.

Although both parties are yet to put out any official word concerning the matter, Banky W shut down these reports early this week, describing it as a mere rumour. In a recent interview, he was quoted as saying that Wizkid is still very much part of EME family. He also added that all Wizzy has  an international management and recording contract with British rapper, Tinie Tempah’s Disturbing London outfit and Akon’s  Konvict Records respectively.

 With various reports stating that Konvict music is offering the singer a more flexible contract they offer him, it is therefore unlikely that his anticipated album will be dropped on the EME imprint. Word from reliable sources even said Wizkid spoke to BET on the matter .

Also not to forget that the 23-year-old superstar,  had at the beginning of this year acquired a house in Lekki, Lagos. The move  was been attributed to the fact that the singer had an argument concerning his new home and leaving his the EME label according to the unconfirmed report.

My eyes are sha opened on this one .. soon as  any confirmed report comes my way I'll surely share. We all love Wizkid and will like him to be happy at any label what soever he signs to...
