The business relationship between Wande Coal and his estranged record label, Mavin Records, may have finally crumbled as the music label has officially announced his departure from the record label owned by Don Jazzy.
The two have been engaged in a social media war in the last few days.
The statement by Don Jazzy’s outfit claimed that its splitting with the artiste due to irreconcilable differences, a term normally used by record labels.
The full statements reads: “It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of a recording artiste, 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 Nigeria music industry.
“Mavin Records has pursued a renewed ethos to raise 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 involved 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 record.
“Mavin Records reaffirms its goal to constantly provide high quality music to our fans, introduce new and exciting talents into the industry.
“We wish Wande Coal the best of luck in all his future endeavours.”
