Read statement below:
An official statement from Mavin Records regarding Wande Coal's exit from the label...
It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences.
Over the past few months, Mavin Records
has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian
music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards
of quality and professionalism to a world-class level
. Wande’s vision
has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually
agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.
Legal parties on both sides have spent
the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of
musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release
‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of
intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on
our part.
Both Mavin Records and Wande Coal have
enjoyed a remarkable run in the course of their working relationship. It
is unfortunate that conflicting priorities contributed to the premature
curtailment of a hitherto fruitful accord.
Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to
constantly provide high quality music to our fans and introduce new and
exciting talent into the industry.
We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours.
Signed
Management
Mavin Records Ltd
