For some time now, it has been making the
rounds underground that Filebe singer, Jaywon,
is having issues with his record label, Kenny
Ogungbe’s Kennis Music.
While some have
alleged that Jaywon has called it quits with the
label that made 2face into an international
brand, others have said that he will call it
quits.
All along, there has been nothing really
concrete from both parties, but Kennis Music’s
parent company, Kennis Communications, has
come out to warn the musician over his
contract situation, probably in a bid to forestall
such problems it had with another of its artists,
Maga Don Pay singer, Kelly Hansome. In a
statement lucidly titled ‘Jaywon signed for 3 full
albums,’ Kennis Music reminded Jaywon that he
signed a 3-album deal and only one, Meet
Jaywon, has been released so far.
The statement also cemented the label’s
position on the Jaywon issue by declaring that
“discussion of Jaywon’s contract renewal is not
on the front burner.” In recent times, artists
having problems with their labels has been rife
in the music industry.
Celebrated cases that readily come to mind are
the ongoing BrymO, Chocolate City faceoff; May
D, P-Square brouhaha and Eva, Trybe Records
sudden split. A respected music egghead has
however warned Jaywon to honour his contract
with Kennis Music as Kelly Hansome who
reneged on his is yet to get his career back on
track since then.
