How Wizkid became “too big to move at the E.M.E”pace

It is no longer news that Wizkid is leaving – has left – the E.M.E. It
was all speculations at first but now it has been confirmed!
Well, here's all the details you need to know on the 'shaky'
relationship between Wizkid and his former record label Empire Mates
Entertainment (EME).
According to NET, Banky W who acts as Chairman of EME (the label is
co-owned by SegunDemuren ) learnt of Wizkid after talent manager
Osagie Osanrenkhoe introduced them (along withupcoming rapper Skales)
in 2009. The two were subsequently signed to the label and that
starteda journey they all probably didn't envisage would lead them to
millions of Naira, mouth-watering endorsement deals, tours in the US
and UK, property acquisition and of course controversy.
Banky and EME practically threw Wizzy in our faces – on radio, TV,
magazine covers, Banky's ' The W Experience ' album and with the
potency ofhis hit singles like ' Holla at ur boy ', ' Don't dull ' '
Tease me ' and a debut album ' Superstar ', his name spread like wild
fire, selling out concerts, winning international awards and scoring
collaborations with top US artistes.
Wizkid soon became a household name, recordingsuccess and adding fame
to his portfolio…thus his brand began growing 'geometrically', to a
state where it tested the solidity of his label.
Wizkid became an elephant in the room, too big to move at the pace of
his other label mates – so he decided to break ties and seek better
counselsomewhere else, sacking his start-up manager Osarenkhoe (who
remains with EME, building other talents like Niyola while working
with non EME acts like DammyKrane) hiring Godwin Tom to handle his
business on the local front and signing with rapper Tinie Tempah 's
Disturbing London management in the UK. He recently debuthis Star Boy
music label.
The question now is, will Wizkid succeed with his solo venture?
